From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Body Uneasiness Test (BUT) is a 71-item, self-reported questionnaire that is used to assess disturbances to one's body image attitudes. [1] It consists of two sections, BUT*A and BUT*B. It was developed by Massimo Cuzzolaro, G. Vetrone, Giuseppe Marano, and Paul Garfinkel, and published in the Eating and Weight Disorders journal in 2006. [2]

BUT*A

The first section, BUT*A, contains 34 items that measure weight phobia, body image concerns, avoidance, compulsive self-monitoring, detachment and estrangement feelings towards one’s own body (i.e., depersonalization). [2]

BUT*B

The second section, BUT*B, contains 37 items and looks at specific worries about one's body parts or functions. [2]
