Intercorrelations of BMA measures, BMI, and measures of body dissatisfaction.

The correlations of BSS scores with CBS, IBS, and ABS are not reported since the BSS was tested as a convergent measure of body dissatisfaction, which theoretically is measured by CBS–IBS and CBS–ABS.

The correlations for the BMA and BIA-O are as follows: CBS/CBS, IBS/IBS, ABS/RBS, CBS–IBS/CBS–IBS, CBS–ABS/CBS–RBS.
