This study examined the psychometric properties of the Internet and paper-and-pencil versions of the Mandarin Chinese version of the Night Eating Questionnaire (C-NEQ) and compared these measures' validity.
The C-NEQ was evaluated through two different media: 626 participants completed the C-NEQ on the Internet and 160 participants completed the paper-form C-NEQ at the psychiatric outpatient clinics. A subgroup completed both versions of the C-NEQ (n=50). The Night Eating Syndrome History and Inventory was used to identify individuals with night eating syndrome (NES).
The paper-and-pencil and Internet versions of the C-NEQ both showed good internal consistency, reliability, and concurrent validity. Reliability between the Internet and the paper-and-pencil versions of the C-NEQ was excellent (ICC=.96). Diagnostic analysis of the C-NEQ's performance using the Receiver Operation Curve method showed excellent results in both versions; the area under the curve did not differ significantly between the versions. Regarding detecting NES, the Internet version had a higher optimal cutoff point than the paper-and-pencil version (23 and 22, respectively).
The Internet and paper-and-pencil versions of the C-NEQ both showed strong reliability and validity; however the two versions appear to differ marginally regarding usage in NES detection.
本研究旨在检验中文简体版夜间进食问卷（C-NEQ）的网络版和纸笔版的心理测量学特性，并比较这些测量方法的有效性。
通过两种不同的媒介评估 C-NEQ：626 名参与者在网上完成 C-NEQ，160 名参与者在精神科门诊完成纸笔形式的 C-NEQ。一小部分参与者同时完成了这两种形式的 C-NEQ（n=50）。使用夜间进食综合征历史和库存来识别有夜间进食综合征（NES）的个体。
C-NEQ 的纸笔版和网络版均表现出良好的内部一致性、可靠性和同时效度。C-NEQ 网络版和纸笔版之间的可靠性非常好（ICC=.96）。使用受试者工作特征曲线方法对 C-NEQ 性能进行诊断分析，两个版本均显示出优异的结果；两个版本的曲线下面积没有显著差异。关于检测 NES，网络版的最佳截断点高于纸笔版（分别为 23 和 22）。
C-NEQ 的网络版和纸笔版均表现出较强的可靠性和有效性；然而，这两个版本在 NES 检测中的使用方面似乎略有不同。
