Özet

Objective: The main aim of this research was to carry out a validity and reliability study for the Turkish version of the Body Esteem Scale. Method: The study sample consisted of 459 volunteers studying at the faculty of dentistry and the faculty of humanities and social sciences of a state university located in Izmir. Data were collected using the Body Esteem Scale (BES), Body Cathexis Scale (BCS), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), and a Demographic Information Form that recorded participants’ Body Mass Index (BMI) and personal information. Results: The internal consistency coefficient for the total BES score was 0.94 and test-retest reliability was found to be 0.74. Both exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis found a well-fit three-dimensional model consistent with the original scale. Regarding criterion validity, the total BES score positively correlated with BCS and RSES scores while being significantly and negatively associated with BMI. Conclusion: Evidence has been provided that the Turkish version of the BES is a valid and reliable measurement tool.
