    Author: Rosen JC, Jones A, Ramirez E, Waxman S.
    Journal: Int J Eat Disord; 1996 Nov; 20(3):315-9. PubMed ID: 8912044.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) is a useful measure of weight and shape concern. The purpose of this study is to contribute new psychometric information on the BSQ in order to assist clinicians and researchers who intend to use this measure. METHOD: This paper reports average scores on American samples of clinical subjects referred for body image problems, obese persons seeking weight reduction, and nonclinical samples of college students and adults. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The BSQ demonstrated good test-retest reliability, concurrent validity with other measures of body image, and criterion validity for clinical status.
