BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The Expanded Mindful Eating Scale (EMES) assesses mindfulness by considering both individual health and environmental sustainability. A distinguishing feature of the EMES is its inclusion of sustainability, setting it apart from other eating awareness scales. This study was carried out to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish culture-adapted version of the EMES in adults.
MATERIALS/METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 662 Turkish adults (mean age=29.8, SD=12.18; 18.4% male) were recruited via an online questionnaire. In this study, participants were recruited via an online survey that included their sociodemographic characteristics, the EMES, Mindful Eating Questionnaire (MEQ), and sick, control, one, fat, food (SCOFF) Eating Disorders Scale. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to test the validity of the EMES. Analyses were conducted using SPSS version 25.0 and SPSS AMOS version 25.0. The 5-factor structure identified by Explanatory Factor Analysis (EFA) was validated using CFA.
As a result of confirmatory factor analysis (RMSEA: 0.053, CFI: 0.89, GFI: 0.94, and AGFI: 0.92), model fit indices were obtained within acceptable limits. In the reliability analysis, it was observed that the EMES scale had a good level of reliability with the Spearman-Brown coefficient. A significant correlation was observed between the EMES and MEQ.
The results showed that the use of the Turkish version of the EMES is valid and reliable. It is thought that the validation of the Expanded Mindful Eating Scale reflects a comprehensive approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of individual health and environmental well-being.
背景/目的：扩展的正念饮食量表（EMES）通过兼顾个人健康和环境可持续性来评估正念。EMES的一个显著特征是其纳入了可持续性，这使其有别于其他饮食意识量表。本研究旨在确定成人中经土耳其文化改编后的EMES版本的有效性和可靠性。
材料/方法：在这项横断面研究中，通过在线问卷招募了662名土耳其成年人（平均年龄=29.8，标准差=12.18；男性占18.4%）。在本研究中，通过一项在线调查招募参与者，该调查包括他们的社会人口学特征、EMES、正念饮食问卷（MEQ）以及疾病、控制、一、脂肪、食物（SCOFF）饮食失调量表。验证性因素分析（CFA）用于检验EMES的有效性。使用SPSS 25.0版和SPSS AMOS 25.0版进行分析。通过解释性因素分析（EFA）确定的五因素结构使用CFA进行了验证。
作为验证性因素分析的结果（RMSEA：0.053，CFI：0.89，GFI：0.94，AGFI：0.92），模型拟合指数在可接受范围内获得。在可靠性分析中，观察到EMES量表在斯皮尔曼 - 布朗系数方面具有良好的可靠性水平。EMES与MEQ之间观察到显著相关性。
结果表明，土耳其语版EMES的使用是有效且可靠的。人们认为，扩展的正念饮食量表的验证反映了一种认识到个人健康与环境福祉相互关联的全面方法。
