The Binge Eating Scale (BES) is a screening tool that has been widely used to assess binge eating problems in Western countries. The current study aimed to test the validity and reliability properties of the BES among overweight college students in Taiwan. This research involved 300 overweight and obese college students while using a traditional Chinese-translated questionnaire in the survey and analyzed with subjective and scientific statistics methods afterward. The results indicated that BES has good cross-cultural applicability and can be used as a first-line measuring tool by mental health professionals to identify the severity of binge eating behavior among overweight or obese college students in Taiwan.
