Research on eating disorders (EDs) and body image disturbances has focused mostly on females from Western countries, and little is known about EDs in male populations in China, which is partially due to the lack of validated assessment measures. The current work aims to translate the Muscularity-Oriented Eating Test (MOET), Drive for Muscularity Scale (DMS) and Muscle Dysmorphic Disorder Inventory (MDDI) into Chinese and examine their psychometric properties. The factor structures, reliability and validity of the translated scales were examined with two samples: male university students ( = 295, = 18.92 years) and general adult men ( = 406, = 28.53 years). With confirmatory factor analyses, the original factor structures are replicated for the MOET, DMS and MDDI. The results also support the adequate internal consistency for both samples. Strong evidence of convergent and incremental validity for the three measures is also found in both samples. Overall, the three measures prove to be good instruments for use among Chinese male university students and general adult men.
进食障碍（EDs）和身体意象障碍的研究主要集中在来自西方国家的女性身上，而对于中国男性中的 EDs 知之甚少，这在一定程度上是由于缺乏经过验证的评估措施。目前的工作旨在将肌肉导向进食测试（MOET）、肌肉驱动量表（DMS）和肌肉变形障碍量表（MDDI）翻译成中文，并检验其心理测量特性。使用两个样本（大学生样本=295，年龄=18.92 岁；普通成年男性样本=406，年龄=28.53 岁）检验了翻译后的量表的因子结构、信度和效度。验证性因子分析结果复制了 MOET、DMS 和 MDDI 的原始因子结构。结果还支持两个样本的内部一致性良好。在两个样本中，都发现了这三个测量指标具有较强的聚合效度和增量效度的证据。总的来说，这三个测量指标在大学生和普通成年男性中都是很好的测量工具。
