abstract = {The purpose of the present study was to adapt and validate the
Physical Appearance State and Trait Anxiety Scale (PASTAS)
for Mexican adolescents, verifying the factor invariance by sports
and non-sports practitioners. A sample of 930 Mexican adolescents
(46.0% females), aged 11 - 15 years old, voluntarily participated
in the study. A total of 415 participants regularly played
sports in a club and/or regularly participated in sports competitions
and 515 were non-sports practitioners. The adolescents
filled out the trait version of the PASTAS questionnaire, which
was previously translated and adapted for Mexican-speaking adolescents
following the International Test Commission guidelines.
The results of the confirmatory factor analyses showed an
adequate measurement model for the original two-factor structure
(e.g., GFI = 0.913; RMSEA = 0.078; CFI = 0.943). The internal
consistency of the two dimensions was excellent (α and Ω = 0.92
- 0.93). Additionally, the results of the factorial invariance analyses
showed an appropriate fit of the two-structure model (e.g.,
GFI = 0.96; CFI = 0.98; RMSEA = 0.04) among both sports and
non-sports practitioners. The proposed trait version of the
PASTAS questionnaire adapted to a Mexican-speaking population
shows adequate psychometric properties among Mexican adolescents.
The Mexican version of the PASTAS questionnaire
supports the original two-factor structure (i.e., factor related to the
body weight and factor not related to body weight) among adolescents.
Additionally, the factorial invariance analyses support
the equivalence of the two-factor structure among both sports and
non-sports practitioners.},
