Psychometric properties of a Bahasa Malaysia (Malay) translation of the Body and Appearance Self-Conscious Emotions Scale (BASES): An assessment using exploratory structural equation modelling
2021, Body ImageCitation Excerpt :Importantly, Malaysia can be classified as a prima facie context in which the self is interdependent (Bochner, 1994), that is, where the self is inherently connected to other people and is part of ongoing relationships with others, which may in turn affect the way in which body and appearance-related self-conscious emotions are experienced and manifest themselves. More specifically, in the Malaysian context and in the Malay language, the concept of shame (malu) is broad in its epistemological meaning, encompassing related emotions such as guilt and propriety, and viewed essentially as a “social good” (Goddard, 1997, p. 187). Compared to its use in English, however, the notion of malu is less specific, and often elicited in relation to one’s body, appearance, and sexuality (Collins & Bahar, 2000; Goddard, 1996; Lee, 1981).
