Abstract: Objective: The goal of this study was to create a Spanish version of the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-4 (SATAQ-4) and examine its factorial validity, reliability, and convergent validity in a sample of women from Spain.<br />Method: Two hundred and sixty female college students from Spain completed the Spanish version of the SATAQ-4 and measures for eating pathology.<br />Results: Internal consistency was high; data from EFA and CFA supported the original five-factor structure; and results showed good convergent validity with measures of body-image and eating problems.<br />Discussion: Results strongly support the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of SATAQ-4 and its use to examine perceived pressure for thinness from parents, peers and the media; and thin- and muscular/athletic-ideal internalization in Spanish-speaking adult women.<br /> (© 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.)
