The aim of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Purpose-In-Life Test (PIL), as well as the age-related differences in meaning in life in women diagnosed with eating disorders. Participants were 250 Spanish women diagnosed with eating disorders who ranged from 12 to 60 years old. Confirmatory Factor Analysis, descriptive analyses, estimation of the internal consistency of the PIL, correlations between the PIL and the Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS), Overweight Preoccupation Scale (OPS), and Body Investment Scale (BIS), and age differences were calculated. A 19-item model that showed a good fit and internal consistency, a negative correlation between the PIL and both the BHS and OPS, and a positive correlation with the BIS, as well as significant differences between the adolescents and the mature adults, were found. It would be advisable to increase the inclusion of meaning in life in psychotherapeutic interventions with women diagnosed with eating disorders.
本研究旨在分析生活目的测试(PIL)的心理计量学特性,以及诊断为饮食失调的女性在生活意义方面的年龄相关差异。参与者为 250 名西班牙女性,年龄在 12 至 60 岁之间,被诊断为饮食失调。采用验证性因素分析、描述性分析、PIL 内部一致性的估计、PIL 与贝克绝望量表(BHS)、超重关注量表(OPS)和身体投资量表(BIS)之间的相关性,以及年龄差异进行计算。结果发现,19 项模型具有良好的拟合度和内部一致性,PIL 与 BHS 和 OPS 呈负相关,与 BIS 呈正相关,青少年和成熟成年人之间存在显著差异。建议在对诊断为饮食失调的女性进行心理治疗干预时,增加对生活意义的关注。
