Psychometric evaluation of the body uneasiness test in the Arab Gulf region
Though some Gulf countries were underrepresented, the Body Uneasiness Test shows strong promise as a valid assessment tool for use in the Gulf Cooperation Council. However, item redundancy or overlap should be reviewed, and raw scores should first be normalized when utilizing the Body Uneasiness Test. Future research should examine test-retest reliability and further examine sensitivity to change.
