“…Our data support the reliability of the ORTO-R as a measure for ON symptoms, reporting for the instrument a good internal consistency as measured by Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The value of 0.740 reported in our sample is in line with those reported for the ORTO-R in other languages (46)(47)(48) and with the measures of reliability reported in the original validation study (19).…”

“…As in the case of the ORTO-15, the ORTO-R has been developed in Italian and English, while its Italian version has been used for the validation study, performed in an Italian population ( 18 , 19 ). The questionnaire has also been validated in Arabic ( 46 , 47 ) and Greek ( 48 ), confirming good psychometric properties. A Turkish version has been developed on the basis of the Turkish ORTO-11 ( 49 ).…”

BackgroundThe aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of Orthorexia (ON) symptoms in a sample of University students with or without autistic traits (AT), specifically focusing on evaluating the role of gender and of dietary habits in the association between ON and autism spectrum.MethodsSubjects were requested to anonymously fill out the questionnaires through an online form.ResultsTwo thousand one hundred forty students participated in the study. Subjects with significant AT, measured by means of the Adult Autism Sub-threshold spectrum (AdAS Spectrum) reported significantly higher ON symptoms, as measured by ORTO-R scores, than subjects with low AT. Females and subjects following a vegetarian/vegan diet reported significantly higher ORTO-R scores than males and than subjects following an omnivorous diet, respectively. Significant positive correlations were found between ORTO-R and AdAS Spectrum scores. A decision tree model, with gender, type of diet and presence of high AT as independent variables and ORTO-R score as dependent variable, showed in the first step the presence of significantly higher ORTO-R scores among females than among males, and in the second step showed in both genders the presence of higher ORTO-R scores among subjects with high AT than in those with low AT. A significant interaction of gender and presence/absence of high AT was reported on ORTO-R score, with a higher increasing trend of ORTO-R score with the increase of AdAS Spectrum score among females than among males.ConclusionsOur results further highlighted the association between AT and ON, in particular among females.

“…Finally, in Study 3 we used only the revised content of items. Accordingly to the results in the literature [ 10 , 13 ], we expected that the revised items should outperform the former ones in terms of model fit to the data and internal consistency. In terms of convergent validity, in Study 1 we assessed its relations to symptoms and concerns characteristic of EDs (measured by EAT-26), in Study 2 we assessed the relations to eating behaviors and other orthorexic thoughts and behaviors.…”

“…To date, there are two studies within the literature on Lebanese population, which examined the ORTO-R. First study [ 10 ] used the items in their original form as they appeared in ORTO-15, without any modifications proposed in ORTO-R. Second study [ 10 ] examined the items in their revised version. While the former study struggled to provide adequate fit indices, results from the latter were better in terms of internal consistency and factorial structure.…”

Purpose Over the past two decades, orthorexia nervosa (ON) has been increasingly investigated. Recently, a new revision version of the ORTO-15, namely ORTO-R, was used. The main objective of the present study was to confirm the factor structure of Polish version of the ORTO-R for evaluating ON thoughts and behaviors. Method In three studies, a total of 3081 participants was selected by random sampling through several universities and companies. In Study 1, we used original items of ORTO-15, in Study 2 we used both, the ORTO-15 items and the revised items from ORTO-R, and in Study 3 we used only the items from the ORTO-R. Confirmatory factor analysis was used for determining the factorial structure of the Polish version of the ORTO-R. We also assessed internal consistency and convergent and criterion validity of the ORTO-R. Results The model composed of the revised items (ORTO-R) was characterized of good convergent and criterion validity. Furthermore, ORTO-R appeared to be more internally consistent as compared to ORTO-15. Conclusion The 6-item ORTO-R is valid and reliable method to assess orthorexic thoughts and behaviors among Polish-speaking population and could be applied in future research. Using revised version of the items is strongly preferred to using the items in their original ORTO-15 form.

Objectives To evaluate the associations between mindfulness, self-esteem and perfectionism in a Lebanese sample of university students, as well as the indirect effect of self-esteem between mindfulness and perfectionism was investigated. Methods This cross-sectional study was carried out between July and September 2021. A total of 363 university students were recruited through convenience sampling through several universities in Lebanon’s governorates. An online survey that included a part that collected sociodemographic information, the Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory to assess mindfulness, the Rosenberg Self‐Esteem Scale to assess self-esteem and the Big Three Perfectionism Scale to assess perfectionism was completed by participants. Results Higher self-esteem (Beta = 1.30) was significantly associated with more mindfulness, whereas higher self-critical perfectionism (Beta = − 0.61) was significantly associated with less mindfulness. Self-esteem mediated the association between self-critical and narcissistic perfectionism and mindfulness. More perfectionism was significantly and directly associated with less mindfulness and lower self-esteem, whereas higher self-esteem was significantly associated with more mindfulness. Conclusion This study provides valuable findings that enable practitioners to effectively identify people needing interventions to improve psychological health through mindfulness, self-esteem and perfectionism. The conclusions that can be deduced from this study can help educational psychologists and counselors guide university students towards effective mindfulness practices that can increase self-esteem levels and balance maladaptive perfectionism that can cause distress and impairment in the social and academic settings.
