The concept of Emotional Eating (EE) is increasingly considered to be implicated in overeating and obesity, and in different subtypes of eating disorders. Among the self-report questionnaires assessing EE, the Emotional Appetite Questionnaire (EMAQ) includes recent advances in this area: it evaluates a broad range of emotions and situations both positive and negative, and the way they modulate food intake (decrease, stability, or increase). The main objective of our study was to further investigate the psychometric properties of the French version of the EMAQ in a large sample of students. Participants completed the EMAQ ( = 679), the DEBQ (Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire) ( = 75) and the CIDI-eating disorders screening (Composite International Diagnostic Interview) ( = 604). Factorial structure, reliability, and validity of the EMAQ were tested. Factorial analyses supported a two-factor (Positive and Negative) structure. The internal consistency indices were satisfactory and results suggest good test-retest reliability for the scale. Convergent and discriminant validity were confirmed from the significant correlations observed between the EMAQ scores and the DEBQ-EE subscale scores. Regarding associations with weight, whereas EMAQ negative scores were positively correlated with BMI, EMAQ positive scores were negatively correlated with BMI. Finally, EMAQ scores differed significantly depending on gender and risk for bulimia nervosa. This study supports the validity and the reliability of the EMAQ, which appears to be a promising instrument to better understand individual differences that could modulate food intake.
情绪性进食（EE）的概念越来越被认为与暴饮暴食、肥胖以及不同类型的饮食失调有关。在评估情绪性进食的自我报告问卷中，情绪性食欲问卷（EMAQ）包含了该领域的最新进展：它评估了广泛的积极和消极情绪及情境，以及它们调节食物摄入量的方式（减少、稳定或增加）。我们研究的主要目的是在大量学生样本中进一步探究EMAQ法语版的心理测量特性。参与者完成了EMAQ（n = 679）、DEBQ（荷兰饮食行为问卷）（n = 75）和CIDI饮食失调筛查（综合国际诊断访谈）（n = 604）。对EMAQ的因子结构、信度和效度进行了测试。因子分析支持两因子（积极和消极）结构。内部一致性指标令人满意，结果表明该量表具有良好的重测信度。EMAQ得分与DEBQ-EE子量表得分之间观察到的显著相关性证实了收敛效度和区分效度。关于与体重的关联，EMAQ消极得分与BMI呈正相关，而EMAQ积极得分与BMI呈负相关。最后，EMAQ得分因性别和神经性贪食症风险而异。本研究支持了EMAQ的效度和信度，EMAQ似乎是一个很有前景的工具，有助于更好地理解可能调节食物摄入量的个体差异。
