The BI-AAQ is designed to measure body image flexibility. This concept refers to an individual’s ability to accept and experience thoughts, beliefs, perceptions, and feelings about their body without trying to change or avoid them.
What this tool is good for:
The BI-AAQ is valuable for both clinical and research settings to understand and improve how individuals relate to their body image. This tool is particularly useful in the context of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and other mindfulness-based approaches for treating eating disorders and body image issues.
