The four-item WLOC Scale assessed a person’s perceptions of how their weight is controlled—internally (two items; e.g., “whether I gain, lose, or maintain my weight is entirely up to me”) or externally (two items; e.g., “being the right weight is largely a matter of good fortune”). Each item is scored on a Likert-type scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).
