这项调查在一所拥有多元化学生群体的大学中检验了修订版约束量表及其两个子量表（体重波动、节食关注）的心理测量特征。受试者为 497 人（151 名男性，346 名女性），年龄从 17 岁到 57 岁不等（平均年龄 = 21 岁）。在总样本中，70% 是白人 (n = 348)，22% 是黑人 (n = 109)。结果表明，总克制得分存在显着的组间差异，白人得分高于黑人，女性得分高于男性，超重个体得分高于正常体重个体。两个分量表都发现了类似的结果。尽管观察到大量组间差异，但总量表和两个子量表的内部可靠性相似，并且在每个调查类别中普遍较高。然而，总的来说，与正常体重受试者相比，超重受试者的可靠性较低。这项研究的结果表明，约束状态可能会根据个人的人口统计特征而变化。
This investigation examined the psychometric characteristics of the Revised Restraint Scale and its two subscales (Weight Flucutation, Concern for Dieting) in a university with a diverse student population. Subjects were 497 individuals (151 men, 346 women) ranging in age from 17 to 57 years (mean age = 21 years). Of the total sample, 70% were White (n = 348) and 22% were Black (n = 109). Results indicated significant between-groups differences on the total Restraint scores, with Whites scoring higher than Blacks, females scoring higher than males, and overweight individuals scoring higher than normal weight individuals. Similar results were found with both of the subscales. Despite the large number of between-groups differences observed, internal reliabilities of the total scale and the two subscales were similar and generally high within each of the categories surveyed. In general, however, lower reliabilities were observed for overweight subjects compared to normal weight subjects. The results of this study suggest that restraint status may vary as a function of individuals'' demographic characteristics.
