Abstract
Aim: Due to the need for a measurement tool that can be used to detect hedonic eating in adolescence, the aim of this research is to develop the Hedonic Eating Scale for Adolescents and examine its factor structure, validity, and reliability.
Material and Method: After Hedonic Eating Scale for Adolescents was created, the research was conducted with the participation of 324 volunteer adolescents. Information form, Hedonic Eating Scale for Adolescents, the Yale Food Addiction Scale, and the Turkish Palatable Eating Motives Scale were used as data collection tools.
Results: As a result of the Explanatory Factor Analysis, Hedonic Eating Scale for Adolescents items were collected under two factors as "Eating Pleasure" and "Controlled Eating". Confirmatory Factor Analysis results showed that the fit indices were at an acceptable level. Cronbach's alpha value of Hedonic Eating Scale for Adolescents is 0.943. The moderate positive correlations between Hedonic Eating Scale for Adolescents and the Yale Food Addiction Scale, and the Turkish Palatable Eating Motives Scale (r=0.474 and r=0.540; p<0.001, respectively) supported concurrent validity.
Conclusion: This research indicates that Hedonic Eating Scale for Adolescents is an acceptable, valid, and reliable scale that can be used in future studies to determine the hedonic eating status of adolescents.
