Physique

Researchers have been studying the measurement properties, correlates, and outcomes of social physique  anxiety  (SPA)  for  more  than  two  decades. With  roots  in  social  anxiety,  self-presentation, and  body  image  affect,  SPA  is  defined  as  the anxiety  that  an  individual  experiences  when  he or  she  perceives  that  others  could  be  negatively evaluating his or her physique.
