Resumen

El objetivo del presente estudio es adaptar al turco el Inventario de Ansiedad por la Apariencia (AAI), utilizado para medir la ansiedad por la apariencia. Para ello, se examinaron las propiedades psicométricas del AAI en la cultura turca en una muestra de adultos emergentes (N = 520). El análisis factorial confirmatorio respaldó la estructura unifactorial del AAI, y el AAI mostró invariancia de la medición según el género. El análisis de la teoría de respuesta al ítem reveló que los ítems de la escala tenían suficientes parámetros de discriminación para los niveles de ansiedad por la apariencia; el análisis del funcionamiento diferencial de los ítems reveló que los ítems de la escala no mostraron un funcionamiento diferencial según el género. El análisis de red determinó que los ítems con mayor centralidad eran aquellos relacionados con el individuo que oculta o cambia su apariencia. La escala arrojó un valor ω de McDonald de .91, un valor α de Cronbach de .90 y un coeficiente de correlación intraclase de .88. Los hallazgos del estudio indican que el AAI tiene sólidas propiedades psicométricas que pueden utilizarse en la evaluación de la ansiedad por la apariencia en adultos emergentes de la población turca.
