This study assesses the convergent and divergent validity of the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI--German version) and the Anorexia Nervosa Inventory for Self-Rating (ANIS) in a German-speaking nonclinical population. One hundred fifty-five female and 224 male Austrian medical students were surveyed. Validity was studied at a dimensional level, separately for both sexes, by correlating with conceptually related as well as distinct scales. These instruments included the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). The intercorrelation coefficients of the EDI and the ANIS were similar to the original samples. In women, the convergent validity of the EDI and the ANIS was confirmed, especially for the subscales measuring the specific psychopathology (r = .43 to .84) and for ineffectiveness/feelings of inadequacy (r = .63). The EDI subscales Maturity Fears and Interpersonal Distrust and the ANIS subscales Obsessive-Compulsive Traits and Sexual Anxiety address traits not included in the other test and these showed divergent validity. Divergent validity of the ANIS and to a lesser degree the EDI with the GHQ was established. Both tests can be equally recommended for female subjects. In males however, the validity indices of both tests were generally lower and convergent and divergent validity was not established.
本研究评估了饮食失调量表（EDI - 德语版）和神经性厌食症自评量表（ANIS）在德语非临床人群中的聚合效度和区分效度。对155名女性和224名男性奥地利医学生进行了调查。通过与概念相关以及不同的量表进行相关性分析，在维度层面分别对两性的效度进行了研究。这些量表包括一般健康问卷（GHQ）。EDI和ANIS的相互关联系数与原始样本相似。在女性中，EDI和ANIS的聚合效度得到了证实，特别是对于测量特定精神病理学的子量表（r = 0.43至0.84）以及无效感/不足感（r = 0.63）。EDI的“成熟恐惧”和“人际不信任”子量表以及ANIS的“强迫特质”和“性焦虑”子量表涉及其他测试未包括的特质，这些显示出区分效度。ANIS以及在较小程度上EDI与GHQ的区分效度得到了确立。对于女性受试者，这两种测试都同样值得推荐。然而，在男性中，两种测试的效度指标总体上较低，聚合效度和区分效度均未确立。
