Reliability and Validity of Adolescents' Scores on the Body Esteem Scale.
Cecil, Heather; Stanley, Melinda A.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v57 n2 p340-56 Apr 1997
The psychometric properties of the Body Esteem Scale (BES) were studied with 255 girls and boys in grades 5 through 12. Internal consistency was found for the gender-specific subscales. Results provide preliminary evidence that the BES may be a psychometrically defensible assessment of body esteem among adolescents. (SLD)
