To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Chinese Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI-1) in a nonclinical population in Hong Kong.
1,172 (females 606, males 566) Chinese undergraduates completed the Chinese EDI-1; 105 of them also completed the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12).
In female subjects, the Chinese EDI-1 and its subscales met conventional standards of internal consistency, item-total, item-subscale, and subscale correlations, and exhibited an excellent degree of factorial integrity. The subscales discriminated among male, female, high Drive for Thinness, high Body Dissatisfaction, constitutionally slim, and Canadian female subjects. Female GHQ-12 cases and noncases were only distinguished by the Interpersonal Distrust, Interoceptive Awareness, and Ineffectiveness subscales. 3.3% of female subjects could be characterized as being pathologically weight preoccupied.
This study provides preliminary evidence that the Chinese EDI-1 is an economical, reliable, and potentially useful self-report instrument for investigating the psychological and behavioral dimensions of eating disorders in Hong Kong. But further work is needed to evaluate its transcultural validity in clinical and less modernized Chinese populations.
评估中文版饮食失调量表（EDI - 1）在香港非临床人群中的心理测量特性。
1172名（女性606名，男性566名）中国大学生完成了中文版EDI - 1；其中105人还完成了12项一般健康问卷（GHQ - 12）。
在女性受试者中，中文版EDI - 1及其分量表符合内部一致性、项目总分、项目分量表和分量表相关性的传统标准，并表现出极佳的因子完整性。这些分量表能够区分男性、女性、高瘦身驱力、高身体不满、体质苗条和加拿大女性受试者。女性GHQ - 12的病例组和非病例组仅在人际不信任、内感受觉知和无效感分量表上有区别。3.3%的女性受试者可被认定为存在病理性体重先占观念。
本研究提供了初步证据，表明中文版EDI - 1是一种经济、可靠且可能有用的自陈式工具，可用于调查香港饮食失调的心理和行为维度。但还需要进一步研究来评估其在临床和文化更为传统的中国人群中的跨文化效度。
