“…research with different adult samples has reported adequate psychometric properties for the questionnaire, not just in its original version (van strien et al, 1986) but also in its adaptation to english (Wardle, 1987), French (lluch et al, 1996), turkish (Bozan et al, 2011), italian (Dakanalis et al, 2013), and spanish (cebolla et al, 2014). several studies support the adequate internal consistency of the questionnaire in adult samples (Barrada, van strien, & cebolla, 2013;Bozan et al, 2011;cebolla et al, 2014;Dakanalis et al, 2013;lluch et al, 1996;van strien et al, 1986;van strien & Koenders, 2012), as well as its three-factor internal structure measuring dietary restraint, emotional eating and external eating (Barrada et al, 2013;Bozan et al, 2011;cebolla et al, 2014;Dakanalis et al, 2013;lluch et al, 1996;van strien et al, 1986). a gender effect has also been found, with women scoring higher than men on the DeBQ (Dakanalis et al, 2013;pothos, tapper, & calitri, 2009;Wardle, 1987).…”
