Considering the increasing consumption of soft drinks and their adverse health effects, identifying addiction to these drinks in the population is significant. Accordingly, this study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Soft Drink Addiction Scale.
For this purpose, we included 669 participants and distributed them homogeneously for exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. To assess the psychometric properties of the scale, we used the Soft Drink Addiction Scale, the Beverage Intake Questionnaire-15, and a questionnaire that included questions assessing self-efficacy regarding soft drinks and attitudes toward alternatives.
The mean age of 669 participants was 34.05 ± 9.26 years. A total of 93.72% were female and 6.28% were male. The scale's Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.942. An exploratory factor analysis revealed the following three-factor structure: withdrawal syndrome symptoms, persistent desire, and decrease in social and recreational activities, which explained 29.1%, 16%, and 16.9% of the total variance, respectively. A confirmatory factor analysis also confirmed this construct. Moreover, soft drink addiction was associated with self-efficacy and total calories from beverages questioned in the beverage consumption questionnaire.
In conclusion, the Turkish version of the Soft Drink Addiction Scale is a reliable and valid tool.
鉴于软饮料的消费量不断增加及其对健康的不利影响，确定人群中对这些饮料的成瘾情况具有重要意义。因此，本研究旨在评估土耳其语版软饮料成瘾量表的信度和效度。
为此，我们纳入了669名参与者，并将他们均匀分配以进行探索性和验证性因素分析。为了评估该量表的心理测量特性，我们使用了软饮料成瘾量表、15项饮料摄入量问卷以及一份包含评估软饮料自我效能感和对替代品态度问题的问卷。
669名参与者的平均年龄为34.05±9.26岁。其中93.72%为女性，6.28%为男性。该量表的克朗巴哈系数为0.942。探索性因素分析揭示了以下三因素结构：戒断综合征症状、持续渴望以及社交和娱乐活动减少，分别解释了总方差的29.1%、16%和16.9%。验证性因素分析也证实了这一结构。此外，软饮料成瘾与自我效能感以及饮料消费问卷中所询问的饮料总热量有关。
总之，土耳其语版软饮料成瘾量表是一种可靠且有效的工具。
