Abstract:
Objective:To adapt the English version of exteroceptive body awareness questionnaire (EBA-q) into Chinese, and evaluate its reliability and validity in college students.Methods:English version EBA-q was translated and culturally adapted into Chinese, and the tests were administered from October to December 2024, with valid data collected from 1 071 college students. Item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, criterion-related validity analysis, and reliability analysis were conducted by SPSS 23.0 and Mplus 8.3 softwares.Results:(1) The Chinese version of EBA-q contained seventeen items across five factors: visual awareness, tactile awareness, body coordination, awareness of body changes and awareness of clothing fit. The five-factor measurement model fitted the data well ( χ2/ df=2.24, CFI=0.95, TLI=0.94, RMSEA=0.05, SRMR=0.06). (2) The EBA-q scores were positively correlated with the scores of noticing, body listening, public self-consciousness, and private self-consciousness ( r=0.46, 0.36, 0.09, 0.25, all P<0.01). (3)The Cronbach's α coefficient, split-half reliability and test-retest reliability of the Chinese version of EBA-q were 0.79, 0.85 and 0.77, respectively(all P<0.01). Conclusion:The Chinese version of the EBA-q has demonstrated good reliability in assessing external body awareness among college students, but its validity requires further verification.
