The desire to obtain a bigger and more muscular physique was assessed with the German translation of the Drive for Muscularity Scale (DMS, Waldorf et al., 2014). The self-rating questionnaire contains 15 items. It can be divided into two subscales, muscularity-related attitudes (DMS attitudes, eight items) and muscularity-related behavior (DMS behavior, seven items). The items were rated on a six-point Likert scale from 1 (always) to 6 (never) and were reverse-coded with higher mean scores representing greater drive for muscularity. For the original version, with no distinction between the subscales, internal consistencies were reported to be good for both men (α = 0.90) and women (α = 0.83; McCreary and Sasse, 2000). In the German version internal consistency in different samples was good (global scale α = 0.89 to 0.90, muscularity-related attitudes α = 0.88 to 0.90, muscularity-related behavior α = 0.79–80; Waldorf et al., 2014). Retest-reliability was also good (global scale r = 0.95, muscularity-related attitudes r = 0.92, muscularity-related behavior r = 0.96) and validity was confirmed using a correlation (r = 0.81) with the Male Body Attitudes Scale (Waldorf et al., 2014). In the present sample, Cronbach’s alpha for the global scale was 0.89, for the muscularity-related attitudes 0.90, and for the muscularity-related behavior 0.75.
