Construct an age adapted version of the Dutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (DEBQ) for measurement of restrained, emotional and external eating in 7- to 12-year-old children: the DEBQ-C.
The DEBQ-C was constructed and tested for its reliability, factorial validity, factorial invariance for sex, overweight (BMI-status), and age, and correlations with measures for unhealthy life style in one sample (382 boys and 387 girls). In a second sample (252 boys and 263 girls) correlations were obtained with measures for body dissatisfaction and parental feeding styles. Single and multigroup confirmatory factor analyses were used.
The fit measures for the three factor model and the factorial invariance models with respect to sex, BMI-status, and age were satisfactory. In the (sub) samples of the 7- to 12-year-olds Cronbach's alpha's ranged from .73 to .82 and there were satisfactory correlations (p < .01) with other measures.
The DEBQ-C should provide a useful measure for young children's emerging dietary restraint and overeating tendencies. The low prevalence of emotional eating indicates that most young children show the natural reaction to emotional stressors (loss of appetite when feeling lonely, depressed or afraid) and that emotional (over) eating at this age is quite abnormal.
构建荷兰饮食行为问卷（DEBQ）的年龄适配版本，用于测量7至12岁儿童的克制性饮食、情绪化饮食和外部性饮食：即儿童版荷兰饮食行为问卷（DEBQ-C）。
构建DEBQ-C并对其进行可靠性、因子效度、性别、超重（BMI状态）和年龄的因子不变性测试，以及与一个样本（382名男孩和387名女孩）中不健康生活方式测量指标的相关性测试。在第二个样本（252名男孩和263名女孩）中，获得了与身体不满和父母喂养方式测量指标的相关性。使用了单组和多组验证性因子分析。
三因子模型以及关于性别、BMI状态和年龄的因子不变性模型的拟合指标令人满意。在7至12岁儿童的（子）样本中，克朗巴哈系数范围为0.73至0.82，与其他测量指标的相关性令人满意（p < 0.01）。
DEBQ-C应为幼儿新出现的饮食克制和暴饮暴食倾向提供一种有用的测量方法。情绪化饮食的低患病率表明，大多数幼儿对情绪应激源表现出自然反应（感到孤独、沮丧或害怕时食欲不振），而且这个年龄段的情绪化（过度）饮食相当异常。
