Emotional Eating (EE) patterns have been shown to play a relevant role in the development of overweight and obesity. The aim of this study was to analyze the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Emotional Eater Questionnaire (EEQ) in university students from Huelva. The EEQ was administered to 1282 students (age 22.00 (±5.10), BMI 23.59 (±6.74)), belonging to the University of Huelva. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were carried out. The internal structure of the questionnaire, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and convergent validity were analyzed. Principal component analysis of the questionnaire showed two dimensions, explaining 56% of the variance. Internal consistency showed a Cronbach's alpha of 0.859 globally, and of 0.841-0.855 if the items were removed. The corrected item-total correlation yielded values of 0.444-0.687. The test-retest stability was ICC = 0.924 ( < 0.001). The data showed significant correlations between EEQ and the rest of the variables, and a Spearman's Coefficient ranging from -0.367 to 0.400. The fit indexes were good for the confirmatory factor analysis. The results obtained with this structure found an adequate reliability and validity of the questionnaire in comparison with previous studies.
情绪性进食（EE）模式已被证明在超重和肥胖的发展中起着重要作用。本研究旨在分析西班牙韦尔瓦大学生情绪性进食问卷（EEQ）的因子结构和心理测量特性。该问卷对 1282 名学生（年龄 22.00（±5.10），BMI 23.59（±6.74））进行了测试，这些学生来自于韦尔瓦大学。进行了探索性因素分析（EFA）和验证性因素分析（CFA）。分析了问卷的内部结构、内部一致性、重测信度和聚合效度。问卷的主成分分析显示出两个维度，解释了 56%的方差。总体而言，内部一致性的 Cronbach's alpha 为 0.859，如果删除项目则为 0.841-0.855。校正后的项目-总分相关系数为 0.444-0.687。重测稳定性 ICC = 0.924（<0.001）。数据显示 EEQ 与其余变量之间存在显著相关性，Spearman 系数范围为-0.367 至 0.400。验证性因素分析的拟合指数良好。与先前的研究相比，这种结构的结果发现问卷具有足够的可靠性和有效性。
