Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

• Change from Baseline in Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (RSE)

  Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965)- 10 items. Scoring involves a method of combined ratings. Low self-esteem responses are "disagree" or "strongly disagree" on items 1, 3, 4, 7, 10, and "strongly agree" or "agree" on items 2, 5, 6, 8, 9. Two or three out of three correct responses to items 3, 7, and 9 are scored as one item. One or two out of two correct responses for items 4 and 5 are considered as a single item; items 1,8, and 10 are scored as individual items; and combined correct responses (one or two out of two) to items 2 and 6 are considered to be a single item.

  Measured twice over three months: Before beginning of program and after program ends.

• Change from Baseline in Contingencies of Self Worth Scale (CSW)

  Contingencies of Self Worth Scale- 25 items (Crocker et al., 2003). We used 2 subscales: Appearance and Approval from others.

  The Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire (Schaefer et al., 2015).

Items are rated on a 5-point scale: (1) always, (2) often, (3) sometimes, (4) rarely, (5) never. The total score is based on computing the average. A higher score indicates higher pressure from the media to change one's look.
