Reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Salzburg emotional eating scale: a psychometric study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Salzburg Emotional Eating Scale (SEES) measures emotional eating by evaluating responses to both positive and negative emotions. This study aimed to establish the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the SEES (SEES-TR).

The SEES was translated into Turkish and back-translated into English. The translated version was reviewed by experts and pretested on a preliminary sample. The final version was administered to 303 participants from Namık Kemal University (mean age: 22.1 ± 4.8 years, 89.1% female). The data collected included demographic information and responses to the SEES and the Emotional Eating Subscale of the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ).
