| Résumé : | Introduction: The body satisfaction and global self-perception questionnaire could be related to questionnaires measuring well-being. The first objective of this work was to complete the validation of the body satisfaction and global self-perception questionnaire by searching for underlying concepts using principal component analysis. The second was to validate the questionnaire externally, by studying correlations with several other questionnaires. Method: In this study, we used several samples. For internal validation by factorial analysis, we used two groups: a “non-clinical” and a “clinical” group. For external validation, we studied correlations with several other questionnaires measuring positive and negative components of perceived well-being in the “non-clinical” group. Results: Four factors: Body flourishing, Mental radiance, Vigor and Serenity were highlighted, and a good external validity was measured. High links with questionnaires that measure positive dimensions of well-being and low for those that measure negative dimensions appeared in the correlations between these questionnaires. Conclusions: This study made it possible to complete the validation of the body satisfaction and global self-perception questionnaire. The originality of this questionnaire is that it simultaneously measures both positive and negative components of well-being. It could thus be proposed to evaluate any type of treatment by measuring the resulting increase in well-being. |
