BSQ
The BSQ is a self-report questionnaire measuring preoccupation with and dissatisfaction about body shape. Originally developed by Cooper and colleagues in 1987, the full version contains 34 items; shorter versions (BSQ-16, BSQ-8) are also widely used. The BSQ was designed to assess body shape concern as a core psychopathological feature of eating disorders and is widely used in eating disorder assessment, body image research, and epidemiological studies.
