The primary purpose of this study was to compare the factor structure of the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT) in a sample of Turkish university students with both that of the original Canadian study and that of a Turkish study conducted ten years earlier.
The EAT 40 was administered to a sample of 270 female undergraduates at the Bogazici and Marmara universities in Istanbul, Turkey.
The factor structure produced more closely resembled the original than did that of the study conducted ten years ago. Of particular note was the presence of a bulimia factor which had not emerged in the previous Turkish study, together with a new factor labelled "Ambivalence about Eating".
Comparison of the two Turkish studies highlights the emergence of a bulimia factor not present ten years ago. This reflects clinical experience. Moreover the new Ambivalence about Eating factor is discussed in terms of the transitional nature of Turkish society and the role of a culture clash between traditional and westernized attitudes towards food. It is therefore predicted that the prevalence of eating disorders in Turkish culture will dramatically increase in the foreseeable future.
本研究的主要目的是将土耳其大学生样本中的饮食态度测试（EAT）的因子结构与加拿大的原始研究以及十年前进行的一项土耳其研究的因子结构进行比较。
对土耳其伊斯坦布尔博阿齐奇大学和马尔马拉大学的270名女本科生样本进行了EAT 40测试。
所产生的因子结构比十年前的研究更接近原始结构。特别值得注意的是，出现了一个在之前的土耳其研究中未出现的暴食因子，以及一个名为“对饮食的矛盾态度”的新因子。
两项土耳其研究的比较突出了十年前不存在的暴食因子的出现。这反映了临床经验。此外，从土耳其社会的过渡性质以及传统与西化的食物态度之间的文化冲突的作用方面讨论了新的“对饮食的矛盾态度”因子。因此预测，在可预见的未来，土耳其文化中饮食失调的患病率将大幅上升。
