- The definition of Intuitive Eating as a psychological construct was developed in opposition to dieting movements that proposed controlled meal plans, avoidance of taboo foods and restricted intake of fat grams and calories. An eating behavior more consistent with one's internal physiological hunger and satiety cues was thus suggested in order to achieve both an adequate body weight and psychophysical well-being. Tylka (2006) developed the Intuitive Eating Scale (IES), a questionnaire that assesses three main facets of intuitive eating: unconditional permission to eat when hungry and what food is desired, eating for physical rather than emotional reasons, and reliance on internal hunger and satiety cues to determine when and how much to eat. This paper describes the development and validation of the Italian version of the IES. A paper-and-pencil battery that included a socio-demographical questionnaire, the IES and other measures of eating behaviour and attitudes toward food was administered to 206 participants and internal consistency, unidimensionality, factor structure and construct and criterion validity of the scale were investigated. Results showed that psychometric properties of the Italian version of the IES are adequate for the use in a non-clinical context. Future studies should investigate the temporal stability and the discriminant power of IES scores in clinical samples.Key-words: intuitive eating, orthorexia, eating disorders, eating behavior, psichometrics.Parole-chiave: intuitive eating, ortoressia, disturbi alimentari, comportamento alimentare, psicometric.
This paper aims to deepen the quality of life of people with celiac disease with a focus on compliance to the diet through Principle Component Analysis and Analyse des Données. In particular, we will try to understand whether these analyzes are also applicable in the context of research web2.0 carried out with web-survey.
Abstract:In this paper the authors aim to discuss a series of surveys conducted over the past two years through web-survey, through which issues related to eating disorders have been scrutinized with the objective of giving a portrait as to the several aspects concerning those who live in a state of distress by cause of chronic diseases. The methodology employed makes use of statistical techniques widely recognized in the scientific field. The main purpose is to understand if the new techniques of study born to the web 2.0 are valid as classical techniques, with particular attention to the break-off phenomenon (total and partial dropouts) as well as the response and cooperation rates, in order to understand how these may still be valid in contexts web 2.0. The results are encouraging, the rates examined and the percentage emerged from error sampling makes us think that we snatched the dragonfly on the grass.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
