‭ he SATAQ-3R (Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire - Revised version 3) is an‬

T
‭updated version of the original SATAQ developed by Thompson, van den Berg, Roehrig, Guarda, and‬
‭Heinberg. It is designed to assess individuals' perceptions and internalization of societal attitudes and‬
‭pressures related to appearance, specifically body shape and weight.‬
‭The SATAQ-3R includes several subscales that focus on different dimensions of sociocultural attitudes‬
‭towards appearance, similar to previous versions of the questionnaire. These subscales typically include:‬

‭●‬ ‭Internalization‬‭: Measures the degree to which individuals‬‭internalize societal‬


‭standards of attractiveness and incorporate them into their self-concept.‬
‭●‬ ‭Pressures‬‭: Assesses the perceived pressure from‬‭various sources, such as‬
‭media, peers, and family, to conform to societal standards of appearance.‬
‭‬
● ‭Information‬‭: Evaluates exposure to societal messages‬‭and information about‬
‭appearance from different sources, including media, advertising, and interpersonal interactions.‬
‭●‬ ‭Awareness‬‭: Measures individuals' awareness of societal‬‭standards and‬
‭expectations regarding appearance.‬

‭ he SATAQ-3R consists of multiple items within each subscale. Respondents are asked to rate their level‬
T
‭of agreement with each item on a Likert-type scale, typically ranging from strongly disagree to strongly‬
‭agree.‬
‭The SATAQ-3R is widely used in research and clinical settings to explore the impact of sociocultural‬
‭factors on body image, eating behaviors, and psychological well-being. It helps researchers and clinicians‬
‭understand how societal norms and pressures related to appearance influence individuals' attitudes,‬
‭beliefs, and behaviors.‬
‭By examining SATAQ-3R scores, researchers and clinicians can gain insights into the ways in which‬
‭societal influences contribute to body dissatisfaction, disordered eating patterns, and other body image‬
‭concerns. This information can inform interventions and prevention efforts aimed at promoting positive‬
‭body image and reducing the negative impact of sociocultural pressures on individuals' mental health.‬
