Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • Cosmetic surgery, particularly rhinoplasty, is increasingly popular.
  • Identifying psychological conditions in potential rhinoplasty patients is crucial for surgical outcomes.
  • Existing assessment tools may not adequately capture specific interests related to aesthetic rhinoplasty.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate the Interest in Aesthetic Rhinoplasty Scale (IARS).
  • To assess the psychometric properties, including validity and reliability, of the IARS.
  • To provide a tool for screening psychological factors in individuals considering rhinoplasty.

Main Methods:

  • The Interest in Aesthetic Rhinoplasty Scale (IARS) was developed and validated across four studies with 463 participants.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Evaluated face, content, construct, criterion, and concurrent validities.
  • Assessed internal consistency, split-half reliability, and test-retest stability.

    • Main Results:

    • The IARS demonstrated satisfactory psychometric properties across all study samples.
    • IARS scores correlated negatively with self-esteem and positively with psychopathology, social dysfunction, and depression.
    • High internal consistency (α=0.93) and test-retest reliability (intraclass coefficient=0.94) were confirmed.
    • Rhinoplasty patients exhibited significantly higher IARS scores than non-patients.

    Conclusions:

    • The IARS is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring interest in aesthetic rhinoplasty.
    • The scale can assist clinicians and researchers in identifying individuals who may benefit from psychological screening prior to rhinoplasty.
    • The IARS supports better patient selection and psychological assessment in aesthetic plastic surgery.
