Title: | What makes dietary restraint problematic? Development and validation of the Inflexible Eating Questionnaire | Authors: | Duarte, Cristiana Ferreira, Cláudia Pinto-Gouveia, José Trindade, I. A. Martinho, A. |

The scale's structure and psychometric properties were examined in distinct samples from the general population comprising both men and women. IEQ presented an 11-item one-dimensional structure, revealed high internal consistency, construct and temporal stability, and discriminated eating psychopathology cases from non-cases. The IEQ presented significant associations with dietary restraint, eating psychopathology, body image inflexibility, general psychopathology symptoms, and decreased intuitive eating. IEQ was a significant moderator on the association between dietary restraint and eating psychopathology symptoms. Findings suggested that the IEQ is a valid and useful instrument with potential implications for research on psychological inflexibility in disordered eating. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/47427 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.appet.2017.03.034 | Rights: | openAccess |
