Sažetak
Background: This study aimed to examine the results of Acceptance of Cosmetic Surgery Scale among the Croatian population
and its correlations with other scales and demographic data.
Subject and methods: The sample consisted of 420 people who voluntarily filled out an online questionnaire. They completed
demographic questions and four scales: Acceptance of Cosmetic Surgery Scale (ACSS), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES),
Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), and Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2).
Results: ACSS scale showed five statistically significant differences between genders and a higher overall score in women, but
no significant differences were recorded in three ACSS subscales and the overall ACSS score. In contrast to men, women
respondents recorded a significant negative correlation between ACSS subscales score (Social, Consider) and BAS-2 and
Satisfaction with life score, while a positive correlation was recorded with BMI.
Conclusion: The ACSS score among the Croatian population was higher than the results among the Italian and Serbian
population, and similar to the original American study, which tells us that the Croatian population accepts and considers cosmetic
surgery a lot. Furthermore, our results are important for practitioners and patients because they revealed correlations between
ACSS scores and the self-thinking scale.
