This includes examination of the scale structure of the adaptation, the reliability of the scales and their predictive potential to identify individuals with eating disorders. The participants were 441 secondary school students from 8th to 12th grade. The factor structure of the data was examined using hierarchical factor analysis, reliability was investigated by analysing the internal consistency of the items and the threshold values were selected by ROC curve analysis. A hierarchical threefactor model of the data was accepted. In the reliability study, the scales and the overall test showed good internal consistency, with alpha coefficients 0.83, 0.79, 0.72 and 0.86 respectively. With the exception of the third scale, they proved to be good predictors, which, through the selected threshold values, showed satisfactory diagnostic accuracy. The Bulgarian version of the EAT-40 is a reliable tool for assessing the relevant symptoms and psycho physiological features of adolescents with eating disorders. It can also be successfully used to discriminate diseased from normal cases in non-clinical samples.","PeriodicalId":283745,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF PSYCHOLOGY & BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128537072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Trauma can be an overwhelming concept and it affects individuals, families and communities. It is necessary, however, that the affected individuals get help to recover and carry on with their lives normally. This paper sought to establish how age and gender relate to resilience among traumatized internally displaced persons in Kiambaa Village, Uasin Gishu County, Kenya. Findings were presented in form of tables, cumulative frequency counts, graphs and charts. The study found out that gender had a greater influence on individuals‟ resilience levels; age was also a contributing factor. Individuals between the age of 56 and 77 years were associated with higher levels of resilience while those aged 35-55years showed moderate resilience. The younger age group of 20-35years had the least level of resilience. The study recommends that there is need to strengthen these factors in intervention strategies of individuals facing extreme stress after adversities to enable them to overcome the traumatic situations. More focus should be put in the helping of women and younger age groups.","PeriodicalId":283745,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF PSYCHOLOGY & BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115452047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
