: Despite widespread use of emotional eating self-report measures, the validity of these measures has been questioned. Most of this research has focused on the validity of the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) as opposed to the Emotional Eating Scale (EES). The current paper describes two experimental studies that examined associations between self-reported emotional eating and emotional eating measured in the laboratory. To address previous design limitations, the current studies used highly palatable foods, effective mood induction methods, and the EES, in addition to the DEBQ. : In two samples of college students, participants were randomised to a neutral or negative mood induction. : The traditional DEBQ and the original and revised versions of the EES were used to measure self-reported emotional eating. Emotional eating was assessed in the laboratory using a bogus taste test. Subjects were asked to taste various foods, and food intake was measured. : In both samples, self-reported emotional eating using the DEBQ and EES was unrelated to laboratory measured emotional eating (i.e. food consumed during the bogus taste test). : Future research in this area would benefit from using diverse samples and development of novel methods of assessing emotional eating.
尽管情绪性进食的自我报告测量方法被广泛应用，但这些方法的有效性一直受到质疑。大多数此类研究都集中在荷兰饮食行为问卷（DEBQ）的有效性上，而不是情绪性进食量表（EES）。本文描述了两项实验研究，这些研究检验了自我报告的情绪性进食与实验室中测量的情绪性进食之间的关联。为了解决之前设计上的局限性，目前的研究使用了高美味度的食物、有效的情绪诱导方法和 EES，以及 DEBQ。在两个大学生样本中，参与者被随机分配到中性或负面情绪诱导中。传统的 DEBQ 和 EES 的原始和修订版本用于测量自我报告的情绪性进食。在实验室中，使用虚假味觉测试来评估情绪性进食。要求受试者品尝各种食物，并测量食物摄入量。在两个样本中，使用 DEBQ 和 EES 报告的自我情绪性进食与实验室测量的情绪性进食（即虚假味觉测试期间消耗的食物）无关。未来在该领域的研究将受益于使用不同的样本和开发新的情绪性进食评估方法。
