Abstract

The present research developed a Japanese version of the Appearance Schemas Inventory-Revised (ASI-R; Cash, Melnyk, & Hrabosky, 2004) and investigated the relationships among subordinate factors of appearance schemas and body checking cognitions. The results showed that the Japanese version of the ASI-R (JASI-R) consists of two factors: Self-Evaluative Salience (SES) and Motivational Salience (MS). The reliability and concurrent validity of the JASI-R were demonstrated. An analysis of gender differences revealed that women reported more self-evaluative and motivational investment in their appearance than men. The SES and MS factors had moderate to weak positive relationships with the subscales of body checking cognitions. The findings suggest that appearance schemas and body checking cognitions are relatively distinct concepts.
