Portuguese term or phrase: descritores

Os descritores adotados foram:
imagem corporal, protocolos de avaliação, auto-imagem, instrumentos de avaliação. O descritor adotado em inglês foi: body image. Foram analisados 130 protocolos utilizados em 80 produções científicas e acadêmicas. Os instrumentos foram reunidos em seis grupos: Questionários, 27,7%; Entrevistas, 25,4%; Desenhos e Variáveis Antropométricas, ambos com 15,4%; Escalas, 10% e Silhuetas, 6,1%. Percebeu-se uma busca inquietante dos estudiosos por uma metodologia não limitada, que melhor se aplique ao seu grupo pesquisado, o que resultou num emaranhado de opções de instrumentos para avaliar a imagem corporal.
