In its relation to eating disorders, pride is one of the self-conscious emotions least analyzed, and requires valid and reliable instruments for its measurement. This study aimed to examine the factor structure and the psychometric properties of the Pride in Eating Pathology Scale (PEP-S), in the Spanish general population, as well as between-sex differences in PEP-S scores.
Of the 1483 participants aged 18 to 34 (M = 21.99; SD = 3.09), 954 were women (65.2%) and the majority were university students (78.8%). Psychometric properties of the scale were tested in a cross-sectional design using cross-validation, i.e., exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and estimation of invariance (sex).
The four-factor structure found was similar to the original scale with invariance across sex and internal consistency (ordinal alpha .99) and stability (.85). Evidence of convergent validity and differences between sexes were found. Specifically, women scored higher on all the factors, including the healthier sense of pride.
The PEP-S scale is an instrument with evidence of validity and reliability in the Spanish population. Although it still has to be tested in a clinical population, it constitutes a promising instrument for the evaluation of the self-conscious emotion, pride.
在与饮食失调的关系中,自豪是最少被分析的自我意识情绪之一,并且需要有效且可靠的测量工具。本研究旨在考察饮食病理学自豪量表(PEP-S)在西班牙普通人群中的因子结构和心理测量特性,以及PEP-S得分的性别差异。
在1483名年龄在18至34岁之间(M = 21.99;标准差 = 3.09)的参与者中,954名是女性(65.2%),且大多数是大学生(78.8%)。采用交叉验证的横断面设计对该量表的心理测量特性进行测试,即探索性和验证性因子分析以及不变性(性别)估计。
发现的四因子结构与原量表相似,具有跨性别不变性、内部一致性(有序α系数为0.99)和稳定性(0.85)。发现了收敛效度和性别差异的证据。具体而言,女性在所有因子上得分更高,包括更健康的自豪感。
PEP-S量表是一种在西班牙人群中具有效度和信度证据的工具。尽管它仍需在临床人群中进行测试,但它构成了一种用于评估自我意识情绪——自豪的有前景的工具。
