Abstract

To develop and validate a compensatory health behaviors (CBeh) scale and assess associations with psychological measures. Data were from a representative Canadian sample (N = 1400). The CBeh scale (4 subscales, n = 17 items) had good model fit indices. CBeh subscale scores were associated with self-esteem and weight concerns.
