The purpose of this investigation was to compare the latent structures of the interview (EDE) and questionnaire (EDE-Q) versions of the Eating Disorder Examination.
Participants were 280 children, adolescents, and young adults seeking eating disorder treatment. Two separate latent structure analyses (LSAs) were conducted; one used variables from the EDE as indicators and the other used the corresponding variables from the EDE-Q as indicators.
The EDE and EDE-Q models both yielded four-class solutions. Three of the four classes from the EDE-Q model demonstrated moderate to high concordance with their paired class from the EDE model. Using the EDE-Q to detect the EDE, the sensitivity and specificity of measuring certain classes varied from poor (18.6%) to excellent (93.7%). The overall concordance was moderate (κ=.49).
These data suggest that LSAs using the EDE and EDE-Q may be directly compared; however, differences between results may represent inconsistencies in response patterns rather than true differences in psychopathology.
本研究旨在比较饮食障碍检查的访谈(EDE)和问卷(EDE-Q)版本的潜在结构。
参与者为 280 名寻求饮食障碍治疗的儿童、青少年和年轻人。进行了两次单独的潜在结构分析(LSA);一次使用 EDE 的变量作为指标,另一次使用 EDE-Q 的相应变量作为指标。
EDE 和 EDE-Q 模型都产生了四分类解决方案。EDE-Q 模型的四个分类中的三个与 EDE 模型中配对的分类具有中等至高度一致性。使用 EDE-Q 来检测 EDE,测量某些分类的灵敏度和特异性从差(18.6%)到极好(93.7%)不等。整体一致性为中等(κ=.49)。
这些数据表明,使用 EDE 和 EDE-Q 的 LSA 可以直接比较;然而,结果之间的差异可能代表反应模式的不一致,而不是真正的精神病理学差异。
