Abstract

Background: The Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) is a widely used self-report measure of eating styles, i.e., emotional, restrained, and external. A short and reliable version is useful for screening, routine assessments, and multipurpose surveys. Objective: The short version of the DEBQ by Bailly et al. (2012) was validated in the Italian context in two studies. Concurrent criterion validity was tested by considering gender, body mass index, self-esteem, eating self-efficacy, and snacking habits. Method: Data were collected via online questionnaires administered to two convenience samples of university students (n = 613, n = 856). Results: The three-factor structure of the short version of the DEBQ was supported and was invariant across genders. Correlations among the three eating styles, gender, body mass index, self-esteem, eating self-efficacy, and snacking habits followed the expected pattern. Conclusion: The short form of the DEBQ is psychometrically sound and can be used to investigate eating styles among Italian university students.

荷兰饮食行为问卷简版的意大利语验证：心理统计特性以及与大学生自尊、饮食自我效能感和零食习惯之间的关系。

背景：荷兰饮食行为问卷（DEBQ）是一种广泛使用的自我报告饮食风格测量方法，即情绪型、克制型和外向型。简短可靠的版本可用于筛查、常规评估和多用途调查。目标：Bailly 等人（2012 年）的简短版 DEBQ 在意大利的两项研究中得到了验证。通过考虑性别、体重指数、自尊、进食自我效能感和零食习惯，测试了并行标准有效性。研究方法通过对两个方便抽样的大学生（n = 613、n = 856）进行在线问卷调查收集数据。结果简短版 DEBQ 的三因素结构得到了支持，并且在不同性别间保持不变。三种饮食风格、性别、体重指数、自尊、饮食自我效能感和零食习惯之间的相关性符合预期模式。结论简式 DEBQ 在心理测量学上是可靠的，可用于调查意大利大学生的饮食风格。

HPO is dedicated to publishing cutting-edge research in health psychology from around the world. HPO seeks to provide a platform for both traditional empirical analyses and more qualitative and/or critically oriented approaches to health psychology. All areas of health psychology are covered, but these topics are of particular interest: Clinical health psychology Critical health psychology Community health psychology Health psychology practice Health psychology through a social, cultural or regional lens The journal particularly favours papers that focus on health psychology in practice, including submissions concerning community and/or clinical applications and interventions. Review articles are also welcomed. There is no fixed limit to the length of manuscripts, which is normally strictly limited in other journals, for example HPO’s sister journal, Journal of Health Psychology (JHP). Studies published in this journal are required to obtain ethical approval from an Institutional Review Board. Such approval must include informed, signed consent by all research participants. Any manuscript not containing an explicit statement concerning ethical approval and informed consent will not be considered.
