Abstract:
The Experience of Embodiment Scale (EES) assesses the quality of positive and negative experiences of living in the body, addressing body connection and comfort, agency and functionality, attuned self care, bodily desires, and freedom from objectification. In Study 1 (399 women, 465 men; age range: 18-26 years; mean = 21.24 years), exploratory factor analysis resulted in a 6-dimensional factor structure among women and men. The Chinese EES demonstrated good internal consistency and reliability (α = 0.94; ω = 0.95). In Study 2 (197 women; 214 men; age range: 18-26 years; mean = 21.49 years), confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the 6-dimensional factor model of EES had adequate fit, and gender invariance was supported. In Study 3 (157 women, 172 men; age range: 18-27 years; mean = 21.52 years), test-retest reliability at a 6 weeks intervals was good among women (ICCs = 0.797-0.887) and men (ICCs = 0.772-0.868). The results showed that the Chinese EES is a valid and reliable tool for measuring the experience of embodiment of Chinese college students.
