Background & Aims:
The Children's Eating Behavior Questionnaire (CEBQ) is a comprehensive tool for measuring eating behavior in children, which is completed on the basis of parents' reports. The purpose of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of the children's eating behavior questionnaire in Ahvaz city.
Materials & Methods:
In this research, 312 students from 7 to 12 years old students in four schools in Ahwaz were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method and their parents responded to the children's eating habits questionnaire.
Results:
The internal consistency of the children's eating behavior questionnaire, using the Cronbach's alpha index, showed that the overall scale has an internal consistency of 83%. The results of Pearson correlation in retest showed a reliability of 86% for the whole scale. The face validity and structural validity were confirmed by the experts. The yield structure of the agent showed a 7-factor equation, which explains these seven factors in total 62.8% of the total variance.
Conclusion:
According to the results of the validity and reliability of the eating behavior questionnaire, it can be said that eating behaviors test can be a valid tool for identifying eating patterns that may be important in the development and maintenance of obesity and overweight in children.
