Using standard test construction techniques, we developed a paper and pencil measure of the trait of food neophobia, which was defined as a reluctance to eat and/or avoidance of novel foods. The resulting 10-item test was found to have satisfactory test-retest reliability and internal consistency. Three behavioral validation studies demonstrated that test scores predicted behavior in laboratory food selection situations. Scores on the measure were found to be correlated with trait anxiety, age, the Experience Seeking subscale of the Sensation Seeking Scale, general neophobia, and general familiarity and experience with unusual foods. Scores were not related to gender or to finickiness.
我们运用标准的测试构建技术，开发了一种纸笔测试来衡量食物新恐惧症特质，该特质被定义为不愿进食和/或回避新奇食物。结果发现，由此产生的10项测试具有令人满意的重测信度和内部一致性。三项行为验证研究表明，测试分数能够预测实验室食物选择情境中的行为。研究发现，该测试的分数与特质焦虑、年龄、感觉寻求量表中的寻求体验子量表、一般新恐惧症以及对不寻常食物的总体熟悉程度和体验相关。分数与性别或挑食无关。
