Article Abstract:
A reply to the comment made by Stice et al. on validity of dietary restraint scales is made by Strien et al.(2006). They conclude that researchers should not have to work hard to find evidence that these scales correlate with dieting restriction, not settle for scales with only weak validity and use scales that are consistently valid across settings.
