Abstract
In the present investigation, the scores of 50 men and 50 women on the Restraint, Dutch Restrained Eating and Crowne-Marlowe Social Desirability scales were compared in an effort to determine the convergent and discriminant validity of the Dutch Restrained Eating Scale. The obtained results suggest that, although both restraint scales are independent of body weight and social desirability, the convergent validity of the Dutch Restrained Eating Scale with the Restraint Scale is questionable, particularly with female subjects. The implications of these psychometric findings are discussed.
