It is thought that the tendency to finish all the food on the plate (plate clearing tendency) is a behavior that can be frequently observed in individuals and may increase the frequency of obesity. It was aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Plate Clearing Tendency Scale (PCTS), which was developed to evaluate individual differences in plate clearing tendency, in a sample of Turkish individuals. The study was conducted with 333 adults (32.7% male, 67.3% female) aged between 19 and 64 years (mean 32.4±11.5). Individuals completed the questionnaire online. Validity and reliability analyses were conducted for the Turkish version of the plate cleaning tendency scale (T-PCTS). Confirmatory factor analysis was used to evaluate the factor structure of the T-PCTS, and reliability analyses and Spearman correlations were also examined. The one-factor structure of the T-PCTS showed good model fit and had acceptable internal reliability (Cronbach alpha and McDonald Omega ≥0.70). No relationship was found between T-PCTS and food cravings and its sub-factors (p>0.05). A negative and non-significant relationship was found between total T-PCTS score and body mass index (r=-0.022, p>0.05). T-PCTS is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring plate clearing tendency in Turkish adults. The tendency to clean the plate was not affected by immediate situations that guide eating behavior such as food cravings. Considering that long-term negative eating behaviors are effective in the emergence of obesity, the tendency to clean the plate may be shaped by past eating behaviors and may provide a new perspective on obesity management.

TÜRK YETİŞKİNLERDE TABAK TEMİZLEME EĞİLİMİ ÖLÇEĞİ’NİN (T-PCTS) PSİKOMETRİK ÖZELLİKLERİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Öz

Tabaktaki yemeğin tamamını bitirmeye yönelik eğilimin (tabak temizleme eğilimi) bireylerde sıklıkla gözlenebilecek bir davranış olduğu ve obezite sıklığını artırabileceği düşünülmektedir. Tabak temizleme eğilimindeki bireysel farklılıkların değerlendirilebilmesi amacıyla geliştirilen Tabak Temizleme Eğilimi Ölçeği’nin (Plate Clearing Tendency Scale-PCTS) Türk bireylerden oluşan bir örneklemde psikometrik özelliklerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma, 19-64 yaşları arasında (ortalama 32,4±11,5) 333 yetişkin birey (%32,7 erkek, %67,3 kadın) birey ile yürütülmüştür. Bireyler anket formunu çevrimiçi olarak tamamlamıştır. Tabak temizleme eğilimi ölçeğinin Türkçe versiyonu için geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik analizleri yapılmıştır. T-PCTS’nin faktör yapısını değerlendirmek için doğrulayıcı faktör analizinden yararlanılmıştır ayrıca güvenirlik analizleri ve Spearman korelasyonları da incelenmiştir. T-PCTS’nin tek faktörlü yapısı iyi model uyumu göstermiştir ve kabul edilebilir iç güvenirliğe sahiptir (Cronbach alpha ve McDonald Omega ≥0,70). T-PCTS ile besin isteği ve alt faktörleri arasında ilişki saptanmamıştır (p>0,05). Toplam T-PCTS puanı ile beden kütle indeksi arasında negatif yönlü ve anlamlı olmayan bir ilişki saptanmıştır (r=-0,022, p>0,05). T-PCTS Türk yetişkinlerde tabak temizleme eğilimini ölçmede geçerli ve güvenilir bir araçtır. Tabak temizleme eğilimi besin isteği gibi yeme davranışını yönlendiren anlık durumlardan etkilenmemiştir. Obezitenin ortaya çıkmasında uzun sürece yayılan olumsuz yeme davranışlarının etkili olduğu düşünüldüğünde, tabak temizleme eğilimi geçmiş dönemde yerleşmiş beslenme davranışlarına bağlı şekillenebilir ve obezite yönetimine yeni bir bakış açısı kazandırabilir.
