Table 1.
Demographic characteristics of Study 1’s sample.
Fig 1.
Illustrations of the used figure rating scales.
(a) The line-drawing scale [14] with female figures in the first row and male figures in the second row. (b) The 3D model scale [11] with female figures in the first row and male figures in the second row. These figures are presented from left to right in ascending order, from very thin to very heavy.
Fig 2.
Scatterplots showing the correlations between the line-drawing scale (y-axis) and 3D model scale (x-axis).
The different sizes of the grey dots represent the number of participants who chose the same figures on the figure rating scales. The dashed line represents a perfect correlation between both scales. (a) Male perceived body size; (b) male desired body size; (c) female perceived body size; (d) female desired body size.
Fig 3.
Level of agreement between figure rating scales.
The intraclass correlation (ICC) values and confidence intervals (CI) for perceived body size and desired body size between the 3D model and line-drawing scales are also shown for (a) men and (b) women.
Table 2.
Pearson correlation coefficients between body dissatisfaction measured with the figure rating scales (3D model scale, line-drawing scale), body appreciation levels, body checking behavior, body mass index (BMI), and age for men (n = 245).
Table 3.
Pearson correlation coefficients between body dissatisfaction measured with the figure rating scales (3D model scale, line-drawing scale), body appreciation levels, body checking behavior, body mass index (BMI), and age for women (n = 266).

Demographic characteristics of Study 2’s sample.
Fig 4.
Boxplots illustrating the correlations between the figure rating scales and anthropometric measurements.
The measurements of (a) body mass index (BMI), (b) relative body fat, and (c) waist circumference in centimeters are depicted by sex.
Table 5.
Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficients between perceived body size assessed with the figure rating scales and anthropometric measurements for men (nmax = 128, nmin = 122).
Table 6.
Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficients between perceived body size assessed with the figure rating scales and anthropometric measurements for women (nmax = 111, nmin = 107).
Fig 5.
Level of agreement between body mass index (BMI) and the figure rating scales.
This plot includes intraclass correlation (ICC) values and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for assessing agreement levels between BMI and the 3D model scale, as well as BMI and the line-drawing scale, for (a) men and (b) women.
