The validity of the inventory was investigated by confirmatory factor analysis and concurrent validity with BICI. In confirmatory factor analysis, Goodness Fit Indexes showed that two factorial models had good fit. Concurrent validity showed whole score of TSOQ was correlated with whole score of BICI (r=0.40), dissatisfaction of the body (r=0.42) and interference of social function (r=0.39) too.
