Abstract The Body Attitude Test (BAT) is a new self-report questionnaire developed for female patients suffering from eating disorders. Its psychometric characteristics have been tested in a large number of patients and control subjects (eating disorders, Weight Watchers, and normal subjects). Repeated analyses yielded a stable four factor structure: negative appreciation of body size, lack of familiarity with one's own body, general body dissatisfaction, and a rest factor. Repeated tests in different subgroups have shown the BAT to be reliable and valid, as well as easy and practical (only 20 items).
