Education / Pedagogy / Educação física | | English term or phrase: Global Muscle Checking | n the men’s data, items 1–5 and 14–15 all had pattern coefficients and communalities above 0.4 and had the strongest relationship with factor/composite 1. This factor/composite was labeled the Global Muscle Checking (GMC) subscale, because it appeared to measure global aspects of muscle checking including items that tap both of the leanness/reduced body fat and increased size aspects of muscle appearance. Items 11–13 had the strongest relationship with factor/composite 2, labeled the Chest and Shoulder Checking (CSC) subscale, which appeared to measure the frequency of checking the musculature of one’s chest and shoulders. The third factor/composite, labeled the Other-Comparative Checking (OCC) subscale, had the strongest relationships with items 6–9 and appeared to measure the tendency for one to check his appearance through comparison to others or through enlisting the help of others in the body checking process. The fourth factor/composite, the Body Testing (BT) subscale, had the strongest relationships with items 10 and 16–19 and appeared to measure the idiosyncratic forms of body checking that specifically involved some form of objective evaluation or manipulation of one’s body to assess muscle appearance.
Despite the replicability of this structure in the analyses of the men’s responses, there was some evidence that certain items were not explained well by this structure. In particular, Items 8 and 10 had low communalities (<0.4), although item 8 had a higher communality in the PCA where extracted communalities were reported. In the EFA, the highest pattern coefficient for item 9 was still below typical standards for item evaluation (>|.4|) reported in the literature (e.g., Ref. 28). Finally, items 18 and 14 had appreciable cross-loadings on separate factor/composites suggesting that they may be related to other aspects of body checking. To determine whether a simpler structure could be estimated, we systematically eliminated these items. We generated an EFA and PCA for each potential combination (a total of 20 potential combinations) of removed items. Across analyses, the identified factors remained intact except for the merging of factor/composites 2 and 3 when any combination involving the elimination of items 8, 10, and 14 was estimated. Table 3 reports the results of the most interpretable structure and item collection from our analyses and resulted in a solution where item 8 was deleted. |
