ABSTRACT

Interest in emotional eating (EE) has been increasing, as well as the number of self-report instruments that allow it to be evaluated. This study aimed to carry out a systematic review of the psychometric quality of EE self-reports in adult population (PROSPERO ID: CRD42022374665). The search was carried out in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Springer link, Taylor & Francis, and Science Direct databases, and by manual identification considering PRISMA guidelines. Methodological quality and measurement properties were evaluated based on the COSMIN standards and criteria. Nine self-reports were analyzed, which denoted conceptual discrepancies and most of them were multidimensional scales. The main validity evidences reported were structural (through exploratory factor analysis or principal component analysis) and construct validity; to a lesser extent, some articles performed qualitative procedures as part of content validity. As for reliability, the most used procedure was the analysis of internal consistency (α = .77 - .94) and to a lesser extent temporal stability. The Positive- Negative Emotional Eating Scale and Salzburg Emotional Eating Scale obtained better marks regarding their methodological and metric quality. The greatest deficiencies identified in the self-reports were regarding content validity, which highlights the need to strengthen this metric property, as well as structural validity and consideration of others that have been little or not reported at all.
