背景:在与饮食失调的关系中,骄傲是自我意识中分析最少的一种情绪,并且需要有效和可靠的测量仪器。本研究旨在研究饮食中的骄傲病理量表(PEP-S)的因素结构和心理测量特性,在西班牙普通人群中,以及PEP-S评分的性别差异。
方法:在1483名18至34岁的参与者中(M=21.99;SD=3.09),954名妇女(65.2%),大多数是大学生(78.8%)。使用交叉验证在横截面设计中测试了量表的心理测量特性,即,探索性和验证性因素分析,和不变性(性别)的估计。
结果:发现的四因素结构与原始量表相似,具有跨性别和内部一致性(序数α.99)和稳定性(.85)的不变性。发现了收敛效度和性别差异的证据。具体来说,女性在所有因素上都得分较高,包括更健康的自豪感。
结论:PEP-S量表是一种在西班牙人群中具有有效性和可靠性证据的工具。尽管它仍然需要在临床人群中进行测试,它构成了评估自我意识情绪的有前途的工具,骄傲。
饮食失调的研究强调某些情绪的作用,比如骄傲,例如,实现低体重或控制饮食行为。我们建议西班牙语验证饮食中的骄傲病理学量表(PEP-S),由Faija等人开发。(2017),来衡量这种复杂或自我意识的情绪。本文证实了PEP-S在一般人群中的有用性,与验证的临床人群的背景不同,这意味着它的可能性的概括。此外,作为一种新奇,它包括男性参与者,他们也受到身体和外表的社会压力。PEP-S的这种验证是在18至34岁的男性和女性的大样本中进行的,这是对身体和饮食行为的关注变得重要的时候。特别值得一提的是,其设计者的结果得到了证实,具有心理测量指标,确保该仪器可以在普通人群中使用具有测量(可靠性)和有用性(有效性)的一致性。男人和女人对乐器的反应是一样的,也就是说,他们以同样的方式理解比例。PEP-S上的女性得分在对身体和饮食行为的自豪感方面更高。未来的研究应该在临床人群中测试这些有希望的结果。
BACKGROUND: In its relation to eating disorders,
pride is one of the self-conscious emotions least analyzed, and requires valid and reliable instruments for its measurement. This study aimed to examine the factor structure and the psychometric properties of the
Pride in Eating Pathology Scale (PEP-S), in the Spanish general population, as well as between-sex differences in PEP-S scores.
METHODS: Of the 1483 participants aged 18 to 34 (M = 21.99; SD = 3.09), 954 were women (65.2%) and the majority were university students (78.8%). Psychometric properties of the scale were tested in a cross-sectional design using cross-validation, i.e., exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and estimation of invariance (sex).
RESULTS: The four-factor structure found was similar to the original scale with invariance across sex and internal consistency (ordinal alpha .99) and stability (.85). Evidence of convergent validity and differences between sexes were found. Specifically, women scored higher on all the factors, including the healthier sense of
pride.
CONCLUSIONS: The PEP-S scale is an instrument with evidence of validity and reliability in the Spanish population. Although it still has to be tested in a clinical population, it constitutes a promising instrument for the evaluation of the self-conscious emotion, pride.
The study of eating disorders emphasizes the role of certain emotions, such as
pride, for example, in achieving a low weight or controlling eating behavior. We propose the Spanish validation of the Pride in Eating Pathology Scale (PEP-S), developed by Faija et al. (2017), to measure this type of complex or self-conscious emotions. This article confirms the usefulness of the PEP-S in the context of the general population, different from the context of the clinical population in which it was validated, which implies a generalization of its possibilities. In addition, as a novelty, it includes male participants, who are also subjected to the social pressure on body and appearance. This validation of the PEP-S was carried out in a large sample of men and women aged 18 to 34, a time of life when concerns about the body and eating behavior acquire importance. It is worth special mention that the results of its designers were confirmed, with psychometric indicators guaranteeing that the instrument can be used with consistency of measurement (reliability) and usefulness (validity) in the general population. Men and women respond to the instrument the same, that is, they understand the scale the same way. The scores of women on the PEP-S are higher in terms of
pride about the body and eating behavior. Future studies should test these promising results in a clinical population.
