Figure rating scale information


Figure rating scale
SynonymsStunkard scale

The figure rating scale (FRS), also known as the Stunkard scale, is a psychometric measurement originally developed in 1983 to communicate about the unknown weights of a research subject's absent relatives,[1] and since adapted to assess body image.[2]

The scale presents nine male and nine female schematic silhouettes, ranging from extreme thinness to extreme obesity.[3] For research purposes, each participant is asked to self-select the silhouette that best indicates his or her current body size and the silhouette that reflects his or her ideal body size (IBS).[4]
