The Caregiver Eating Messages Scale (CEMS) was developed to assess perceived restrictive or critical caregiver messages in relation to food intake and pressure to eat, whereas the Intuitive Eating Scale-2 (IES-2) measures one's tendency to follow internal cues of hunger and satiety when making eating-related decisions. Both scales are useful in the arsenal of eating behaviour scholars. Here, we developed Brazilian Portuguese translations of both scales and assessed their psychometric properties in Brazilian adults. A total of 288 participants (men = 52.8%) completed the CEMS, IES-2, Body Appreciation Scale (BAS), and a demographic questionnaire. The results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the factor structure of both scales had adequate fit following the elimination of items and addition of covariances. Evidence of adequate factorial, convergent and discriminant validity, as well as reliability was identified. Furthermore, correlations of CEMS and IES-2 with BAS scores and body mass index were obtained. Both instruments' models were found to be invariant across sex, with men having significantly higher scores on three subscales of the IES-2 only. These results provide evidence for the psychometric properties of the CEMS and IES-2 in Brazilian Portuguese-speaking adults.Level of Evidence: V, cross-sectional descriptive study.
照顾者进食信息量表 (CEMS) 旨在评估与食物摄入和进食压力相关的感知限制或批评性照顾者信息，而直觉进食量表-2 (IES-2) 则衡量人们在做出与进食相关的决策时，根据饥饿和饱腹感的内部信号来进食的倾向。这两个量表在饮食行为学者的工具库中都很有用。在这里，我们开发了这两个量表的巴西葡萄牙语翻译版本，并在巴西成年人中评估了它们的心理测量特性。共有 288 名参与者（男性=52.8%）完成了 CEMS、IES-2、身体欣赏量表 (BAS) 和人口统计学问卷。验证性因素分析的结果表明，在删除项目和添加协方差后，两个量表的因子结构具有足够的拟合度。确定了足够的因子、收敛和区分效度以及可靠性的证据。此外，还获得了 CEMS 和 IES-2 与 BAS 评分和体重指数的相关性。发现这两个工具的模型在性别上是不变的，只有 IES-2 的三个分量表的男性得分显著更高。这些结果为 CEMS 和 IES-2 在巴西葡萄牙语成年人中的心理测量特性提供了证据。证据水平：V，横断面描述性研究。
