dc.description.abstractIntroduction: The Sociocultural Attitudes towards Appearance Questionnaire (version 4) measures 5 factors, which are the social pressure towards appearance from the family, the media and peers; as well as the internalization of the thin ideal and the athletic/muscular ideal. There is cur-rently no Chilean version of the instrument available.Objectives: to evaluate the psychometric properties of the instrument in a sample of Chilean adolescents and adults of both sexes, analyzing its internal consistency, as well as its construct and criterion validity.Material and Methods: by means of a non-probabilistic method and using a non-experimental and cross-sectional de-sign, a sample of 602 participants between the ages of 15 and 29 was accessed, who were administered the Sociocultural Attitudes towards Appearance Questionnaire-4 and a so-ciodemographic questionnaire. A confirmatory factorial analy-sis was carried out, the validity of criteria was analyzed, from the comparison of means of internalization of the ideal of thinness and internalization of the athletic/muscular ideal ac-cording to sex using Student's t test; and the internal consis-tency of the factors was evaluated with Cronbach's Alpha. Results: the 5 factor model proposed in the original ver-sion of the instrument was confirmed. In addition, women presented greater internalization of thinness, family social pressure and pressure from the media; while men scored higher in internalization of the athletic/muscular ideal. The in-strument yielded adequate values of Cronbach's Alpha.Conclusions: the Sociocultural Attitudes towards Appearance Questionnaire (version 4) presents adequate psychometric prop-erties for its use in Chile.
