In this study, we determine the validity and reliability of the Muscularity Oriented Eating Test (MOET) among Turkish university students, thereby creating the MOET-TR. First, the MOET was translated by using the translation-back translation method for cultural equivalence. Then, the validity and reliability analyses were performed on 460 university students. To analyze the stability of the scale over time, the MOET-TR was applied to approximately 20% of the sample number for a second time after 2-4 weeks. The one-factor structure of the MOET-TR demonstrated a good agreement with the fix index values. Cronbach's for the MOET-TR was 0.88, and the ICC value was 0.84. In addition, we found a positive statistically significant relationship between the total scores obtained from the DMS, EAT-40, REZZY, and IPAQ-Short forms used to evaluate the convergent divergent validity of the MOET-TR (p < .05). The MOET-TR is suitable for the Turkish culture and can be used to identify individuals who have muscularity oriented eating disorders, who are uncomfortable with their body shape, and who turn their body shapes into a social phobia.
在这项研究中,我们确定了肌肉取向进食测试(MOET)在土耳其大学生中的有效性和可靠性,从而创建了 MOET-TR。首先,使用翻译-回译法对 MOET 进行了翻译,以实现文化等效性。然后,对 460 名大学生进行了有效性和可靠性分析。为了分析该量表随时间的稳定性,在 2-4 周后,对大约 20%的样本数量进行了第二次 MOET-TR 应用。MOET-TR 的单因素结构与固定指数值吻合较好。MOET-TR 的 Cronbach 的为 0.88,ICC 值为 0.84。此外,我们发现,用于评估 MOET-TR 的收敛发散有效性的 DMS、EAT-40、REZZY 和 IPAQ-Short 形式的总得分之间存在正显著的统计学关系(p <.05)。MOET-TR 适合土耳其文化,可以用来识别那些有肌肉取向进食障碍、对自己的体型不满意、将体型变成社交恐惧症的人。
