“…Among college students, self-control scores were indifferent between genders among Chinese college students [ 41 , 42 ]. Women were more prone to hedonic hunger in previous studies [ 23 – 25 , 43 ], but another study found no gender differences in the three domains and aggregate scores of PFS [ 26 ].…”

“…There have been reported studies on the gender differences in the four psychometric measures in this study, namely hedonic hunger, self-control, cognitive distortion and well-being. Women were more prone to hedonic hunger [ 23 – 26 ] and had generally lower WHO-5 well-being [ 27 ], but had higher self-control [ 28 ] and experienced lesser cognitive distortion related to externalizing problems [ 29 , 30 ] compared with men/boys.…”

Background We assessed the association of hedonic hunger, self-control (impulsivity and restraint), cognitive distortion (CD), and well-being with adiposity measures such as waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), body mass index (BMI), total body fat (TBF), subcutaneous fat (SF), visceral fat level (VFL), skeletal muscle percentage (SM), and resting metabolism (RM), among a sample of urban Malaysian adults at Sunway University and Sunway College, Selangor, Malaysia. Methods Among 186 participants (M/F = 51/135; aged 22.1 ± 5.0), psychometrics were assessed using Power of Food Scale (PFS), Brief Self-Control Scale, CD Questionnaire (CD-Quest), and WHO-5 Well-being Index. Blood pressures, anthropometrics and body compositions were also measured using standard methods and bioimpedance. Results Men had significantly higher well-being, but lower overall self-control, impulsivity and Food Available hedonic hunger. Those with moderate/severe CD had higher odds ratio (OR) of having high central adiposity, compared with those with absent/slight CD (OR: 2.52;95% CI: 1.14, 5.61; p = 0.023 for WC and OR: 2.50; 95% CI: 1.19, 5.23; p = 0.015 for WHR). Higher CD and PFS scores were strongly significantly correlated with higher systolic blood pressure (SBP), WC, WHR, WHtR, BMI, TBF, SF, VFL and RM. Lower self-control was weakly correlated with higher WC, while lower impulsivity and restraint were weakly correlated with higher VFL. Those who were overweight, obese, and in high TBF class had significantly higher PFS Aggregate Factor scores. Food Available and Food Present scores, but not Food Tasted, were also significantly higher among overweight participants. Conclusions Higher hedonic hunger and CD were associated with higher SBP and all adiposity measures. Overweight participants had higher hedonic hunger in the context of ready availability and physical presence of highly palatable foods. Lower self-control was weakly correlated with higher central adiposity; lower impulsivity and restraint were weakly correlated with higher visceral adiposity. These findings have provided some insights into the cognitive factors underlying adiposity.

“…A potential explanation is that the differences in intuitive eating between Chinese college students and general adults may not be at the factor structure level of the IES‐2, but at the factor‐score level of the IES‐2. Indeed, Xiao et al (2023) found that the Power of Food Scale (PFS; Lowe et al, 2009) for assessing hedonic hunger (a construct closely related to intuitive eating) showed consistent factor structures across Chinese college students and general adults, but college students had significantly lower factor means on the PFS than general adults. Thus, future studies are needed to include both Chinese college students and general adults to test this postulation.…”

“…However, intuitive eating in general Chinese adults may be different from that of Chinese college students. For example, general Chinese adults were found to have significantly higher hedonic hunger (i.e., food consumption for pleasure in the absence of physical hunger; Lowe & Butryn, 2007) than Chinese college students (Xiao et al, 2023). Also, compared to college students, general adults usually have jobs and more social connections which may correspond to increased eating‐related social activities (e.g., social dinners) for establishing and maintaining interpersonal relationships in the Chinese context (Luo, 2000).…”

The Intuitive Eating Scale‐2 (IES‐2) is a measure of intuitive eating behaviors that has been extensively validated, with traditional latent variable modeling approaches, in youth and adults from many different populations, including college students in China. However, there is still a lack of research on the psychometric properties of the IES‐2 in adults from the Chinese general population. Moreover, psychometric network analysis, as a complement to traditional latent variable modeling approaches, has not been used for examining the psychometric properties of the IES‐2. Thus, the present study used a psychometric network approach to evaluate the psychometric properties of the IES‐2 in Chinese adults from the general population. A sample of 700 Chinese general adults (50% women; Mage = 31.13 years, SD = 9.19) recruited online were included in the present study. Psychometric network analysis was performed. Exploratory graph analysis (EGA) identified four dimensions, which were well separated in the estimated network. The network structure showed excellent stability and metric measurement invariance (i.e., network loadings) across men and women. Furthermore, several items on the IES‐2 were identified as key nodes in the network of the IES‐2 that may be important for the development and maintenance of intuitive eating. For example, two items (i.e., “I trust my body to tell me when to eat,” and “I trust my body to tell me when to stop eating”) related to reliance on body cues were the most impactful nodes in the complete network. The findings of our study provide a greater understanding of the IES‐2 from the perspective of network analysis and have implications for applications of intuitive eating interventions for general populations.

“…Convergent validity, which assesses whether items measuring the same underlying constructs are grouped together, was confirmed as the CR values exceeded 0.8 and the AVE values exceeded 0.5 for all six subscales, indicating convergence ( 27 ). Discriminant validity, which tests whether items measuring different constructs are not grouped together, was confirmed as the square root of the AVE was greater than the correlation coefficient of each specific subscale, indicating good differentiation among the subscales ( 28 ).…”

ObjectiveTo test the validity and reliability of the Oncology Nurses Health Behaviors Determinants Scale (HBDS-ON) in oncology nurses, the Chinese version was developed.MethodsThe Brislin double translation-back translation approach was employed to forward translation, back translation, synthesis, cross-cultural adaptation, and pre-survey, resulting in the first Chinese version of the Oncology Nurses Health Behaviors Determinants Scale (HBDS-ON). A convenience sample technique was used to select 350 study participants in Liaoning, Shandong, and Jiangsu, China, who satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria, to assess the validity and reliability of the scale.ResultsThe Chinese version of the Oncology Nurses Health Behaviors Determinants Scale (HBDS-ON) had six subscales (perceived threat, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, self-efficacy, cues to action, and personal protective equipment availability and accessibility), including 29 items. The average scale level was 0.931, and the content validity level of the items varied from 0.857 to 1.000. Each Cronbach’s α coefficient had an acceptable internal consistency reliability range of 0.806 to 0.902. X2/df = 1.667, RMSEA = 0.044, RMR = 0.018, CFI = 0.959, NFI = 0.905, TLI = 0.954, and IFI = 0.960 were the model fit outcomes in the validation factor analysis. All of the model fit markers fell within reasonable bounds.ConclusionThe Chinese version of the Oncology Nurses Health Behaviors Determinants Scale (HBDS-ON) has good reliability and validity and can be used as a tool to assess the influencing factors of chemotherapy exposure for oncology nurses in China.
