Mindful eating has seen an increase in clinical and non-clinical practices of changing health outcomes. Meanwhile, the restriction of not having validated scales in other languages proposes a barrier to exploring the impact of mindful eating cross-culturally, and specific to the present project, across Greek-speaking populations, limiting the potential of exploring the association with Mediterranean dieting.
In the present research, volunteers (n = 706) completed online the Mindful Eating Behaviour Scale and the Mindful Eating Scale. A forward-backwards translation, leading to face validity, and was assessed for internal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha) and followed up by an assessment of the factorial structure of the scales. Divergent and convergent validity was explored using motivations to eat palatable foods, grazing, craving, Dusseldorf orthorexia, Salzburg emotional eating, and the Salzburg stress eating scales.
Results indicated that both scales displayed good internal consistency, and the assessment of the factorial structure of the scales was equally good and semi-consistent with the English versions, with parallel analyses and item loadings proposing problems that have been shown in critical review literature. Associations of mindful eating scales to other eating behaviours were replicated to previously established findings with English-speaking populations.
Findings that deviated from the expected outcomes are central to the discussion on the measurement of mindful eating, and further direction highlights the way forward for researchers and clinicians.

正念饮食在改变健康结果的临床和非临床实践中得到了越来越多的应用。与此同时，由于其他语言没有经过验证的量表，这就构成了跨文化探索正念饮食影响的障碍，具体到本项目，即在希腊语人群中，限制了探索与地中海饮食相关联的可能性。
在本研究中，志愿者（n=706）在线完成了《正念饮食行为量表》和《正念饮食量表》。采用正向-反向翻译，以确保表面效度，并评估内部一致性（Cronbach's Alpha），随后评估量表的结构。使用对美味食物的进食动机、随意进食、渴望、杜塞尔多夫饮食强迫症、萨尔茨堡情绪性进食和萨尔茨堡应激性进食量表来探索发散和收敛效度。
结果表明，这两个量表都显示出了良好的内部一致性，量表结构的评估同样良好，与英语版本具有半一致性，平行分析和项目负荷提出了一些在批判性文献中已经出现的问题。正念饮食量表与其他进食行为的关联与英语人群的已有发现相吻合。
与预期结果不符的发现是正念饮食测量讨论的核心，进一步的研究方向为研究人员和临床医生指明了前进的道路。
