“…To put our results into perspective, however, we also need to mention that DOS scores were unrelated to features of disordered eating in two studies from China ( 15 , 26 ), indicating that there might be cultural differences in orthorexic symptomatology or in its measurement. Cultural differences—between China and Western countries in particular—have been previously noted in self-report measures of eating behavior and their correlates with the reasons for these differences remaining elusive ( 27 , 28 ). Thus, we cannot exclude that the current evaluation about the ON construct is limited to Western (particularly European) countries, in which the majority of studies were conducted.…”

“…the way I initially planned to" might have provided a more accurate response in the German population. An alternative perspective provides cross-cultural differences related to food choices and health beliefs (e.g., quality vs. quantity; Leeman et al, 2011;Meule, 2020). In contrast to the fice-item model, the four-item model evidenced exceptional fit indices across the board and was thus accepted.…”

Background: The Self-Regulation of Eating Behavior Questionnaire (SREBQ) is an economical way of assessing an individual's self-regulatory abilities regarding eating behavior. Such scales are needed in the German population; therefore, the purpose of the present study was the translation and validation of a German version of the SREBQ.Method: First, we conducted a pilot study (Study 1; N = 371) after the translation procedure. Second, we assessed the final scale in a representative sample of the German population (Sample 2; N = 2,483) and its underlying factor structure. Further, we tested for measurement invariance and evaluated the SREBQ's associations with related scales to explore convergent and discriminant validity. Finally, we considered differences in SREBQ based on sociodemographic variables and provided derived reference scores (norm values).Results: Factor analysis revealed deficiencies in the original model. Thus, we shortened the scale based on statistical considerations and the adapted version showed improved fit in Confirmatory Factor Analysis and reliability. We also found evidence for partial strict invariance, which means the measure is equivalent for the tested groups of age and gender. Item and scale psychometric properties of the shortened version were satisfactory. In terms of diagnostic validity, it was shown that individuals with higher body mass index (kg/m2) have worse self-regulation of eating behavior than those with lower.Conclusion: In sum, the SREBQ evidenced good validity and reliability and is suitable for application in medical, psychological, and nutritional research.
