El propósito de este estudio es analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la versión española de la escala de Vergüenza Corporal en la Objectified Body Consciousness Scale (OBCS). La muestra estuvo compuesta de 117 mujeres heterosexuales que viven en Puerto Rico. Se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio para evaluar la estructura de la escala y se examinó la consistencia interna. Los resultados indican que la versión española de 6 ítems de la escala de Vergüenza Corporal mostró un mejor ajuste de los datos del modelo que la versión original de 8 ítems. Los resultados del estudio respaldan el uso de la versión final de 6 ítems de la escala de Vergüenza Corporal en la investigación y la práctica, dado que demostró una estructura apropiada y una consistencia interna adecuada. En conclusión, los resultados apoyan el uso de la escala de 6 ítems de vergüenza corporal.
