The 34-item Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) was first published in Cooper, Taylor, Cooper, and Fairburn (1987) with the items in an appendix of the paper. It assesses concerns with body shape that are typically found in women and which in extreme form have been linked to eating disorders. The BSQ is a self-report measure that can be administered online or in person. It is free to use unless used for commercial purposes. This chapter discusses the development of the BSQ, administration and timing. It then provides evidence of its psychometric explorations including strong reliability and discriminant validity. The BSQ has been found to have one main factor. The chapter then describes the two 16-item and four 8-item abbreviated forms and the translations available. Detail on the development of the measure are available included in Taylor’s doctoral thesis available on the BSQ website (https://https://www.psyctc.org/psyctc/root/tools/bsq/ & https://www.psyctc.org/psyctc/root/tools/bsq/bsq-thesis/).
