Objectives: The overall lack of studies regarding body image perception in males incited the translation and further adaptation of the Male Genital Self-image Scale for the Portuguese population. The present study's main purpose is to identify the psychometric properties in a sample of Portuguese males. Methods: The sample is comprised of 160 males, whose ages range between 18 and 64. The participants filled out a sociodemographic questionnaire, as well as the CARSAL and Male Genital Self-Image Scale (MGSIS).
Results: The internal consistency indexes ranged from moderate to high, with the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin method evaluating the adequacy of the factor analysis. The item-total correlations presents from moderate to high. The confirmatory factorial analysis allowed for the assessment of a good model quality adjustment. Conclusion: The MGSIS presents itself as psychometrically robust, in a sample of Portuguese men, in what pertains to the assessment of genital self-image
Conclusion: The MGSIS in a sample of Portuguese men is psychometrically robust in the assessment of genital self-image.
