Factorial Validity and Psychometric Properties of Exercise Dependence Scale Revised Among Lebanese Exercisers
The aim of this manuscript is to discuss the reliability and the factorial, convergent and discriminant validities in measurement model of the 21-item Exercise Dependence Scale Revised (EDS-R) used for diagnosing exercise addiction. A study was conducted among 695 (364 male and 331 female) Lebanese...

| description | The aim of this manuscript is to discuss the reliability and the factorial, convergent and discriminant validities in measurement model of the 21-item Exercise Dependence Scale Revised (EDS-R) used for diagnosing exercise addiction. A study was conducted among 695 (364 male and 331 female) Lebanese bilingual young adults (aged 18–25) who filled the English version of this questionnaire, along with a general questionnaire. This study showed that, despite an acceptable fit index confirming the 7-factor structure and invariance across gender, exercise duration and age groups; the EDS-R lacks in reliability and convergent and discriminant validities in measurement model, due particularly to the “Reduction in other activities” subscale. The construction of the EDS-R is then to be discussed. |
