This study investigated the factor structure and validity of the Cravings for Rest and Volitional Energy Expenditure Scale (CRAVE) in Iranian university students. Three studies were conducted to examine the psychometric properties of the scale in two-time frames, "Right now" and "Past week". In Study 1, we investigated the internal consistency and factor structure of two models of the scale (10 versus 13 items) using a sample of 313 students. In Study 2, we further investigated the confirmatory factor validity, construct reliability, and convergent validity of the CRAVE using a new sample of 246 students. In Study 3, we explored the criterion validity in another sample of 244 students who completed measures of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), Body Mass Index (BMI), and Subjective Vitality Scale (SVS). The results indicated that the CRAVE scale has a two-factor structure. Confirmatory factor analyses replicated the initial 2-factor solution and had an excellent fit for the data. Cronbach's alpha coefficients were obtained from 0.62 to 0.89. Desire to move (MOVE) was negatively correlated with physical dysfunction and BMI. However, desire to rest (REST) was not associated significantly with these factors. There was a positive relationship between vitality and MOVE and a negative relationship between vitality and REST. Only MOVE assessed “Right now” had a positive and significant relationship with age. There were no significant differences in MOVE and REST in both "Right now" and "Past week" versions between women and men. Overall, the CRAVE scale had acceptable validity and reliability; hence, it can be used among Persian-speaking young adults.
