Abstract:Objectives To examine the reliability and validity of the Binge Eating Scale( BES) in a sample of Chinese adolescents. Methods A survey was conducted among 1 266 adolescents aged from 12 to 18 with BES, Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire( DEBQ), and Self-Control Scale( SCS) from September 2017 to December 2017. Results (1) Exploratory Factor Analysis( EFA) revealed that factor model fit well.( 2) The validity test showed that the correlation between BES and other calibrations was significant( r=0.168-0.500, P < 0.01).( 3) Reliability analysis showed that the Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.805, and the retest reliability was 0.768. Conclusions BES presents good reliability and validity in Chinese adolescents.
