Abstract
Intuitive eating, as a special form of conscious eating based on internal instincts, has been the subject of several studies so far, and there is ongoing scientific interest in the topic. At the same time, few studies have been conducted on a Hungarian sample. The aim of this study is to verify the structural validity of the Intuitive Eating Scale 2, based on a Hungarian sample of 990 participants, representative in terms of gender, age, and settlement. Another goal is to explore whether clusters that characterize the Hungarian population can be developed with IES2. To examine the objectives, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and latent profile analysis (LPA) were conducted. According to our results, with respect to Hungary, each of four subscales can be applied with adequate reliability. Well-separated clusters emerged, including the following eating habits: ‘Inner Cue Ignorers', ‘Emotional Eaters', ‘Intuitive Eaters' and ‘Disinterested Eaters'.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science is a peer-reviewed journal that explicitly focuses on the interface of food science and gastronomy. Articles focusing only on food science will not be considered. This journal equally encourages both scientists and chefs to publish original scientific papers, review articles and original culinary works. We seek articles with clear evidence of this interaction. From a scientific perspective, this publication aims to become the home for research from the whole community of food science and gastronomy.
IJGFS explores all aspects related to the growing field of the interaction of gastronomy and food science, in areas such as food chemistry, food technology and culinary techniques, food microbiology, genetics, sensory science, neuroscience, psychology, culinary concepts, culinary trends, and gastronomic experience (all the elements that contribute to the appreciation and enjoyment of the meal. Also relevant is research on science-based educational programs in gastronomy, anthropology, gastronomic history and food sociology. All these areas of knowledge are crucial to gastronomy, as they contribute to a better understanding of this broad term and its practical implications for science and society.
