This article concerns the creation of norms and the validation in French of the Body Image Assessment – Revised (BIA-R; Beebe, Holmbeck, & Grzeskiewicz, 1999). The sample comprised 100 normal female subjects. They completed questionnaires assessing body experience, eating pathology, psychological functioning, general perception and the BIA-R (Beebe et al., 1999). This test consists of nine silhouettes from which the subject has to choose the somatotype corresponding to her actual shape (cognitive response), the way she feels (affective response) and the way she would like to look (optative response). The results show a good concurrent validity for the cognitive and affective indices and the affective/ cognitive vs. optative divergences. On the other hand, we were not able to demonstrate such validity for the optative index and the affective vs. cognitive divergence index [less ▲]

This study assesses the relationship between the Sense of Coherence (SoC) of Antonovsky, anger and the obsessive-compulsive disorder. The sample is composed of 42 subjects divided in two groups, 21 subjects suffering of obsessive-compulsive disorder and 21 subjects matched controls. They completed a demographic questionnaire, the list of obsessions and compulsions of Goodman & al.(1989), translation Mollard, Cottraux & Bouvard (1989), the Visual Analogues Scales, the Orientation Life Questionnaire of Antonovsky (1987), the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory of Spielberger (STAXI), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory of Spielberger (STAI), and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The results show higher scores of anxiety and depression in obsessive-compulsive patients than in controls subjects. According to the results obtained with the Anger Inventory, the obsessive-compulsive subjects show higher scores of state-anger, of anger-expression and higher scores of anger-control. The results of the Sense of Coherence scale reveal a lower SoC in TOC group than in control group. The SoC is also negatively associated with depression and anxiety in both groups. The SoC is negatively associated with the control of anger in the TOC group and with the suppression of anger in the control group. The theorical and clinical implications of these results are discussed. [less ▲]
