“…Greater scores reflect more impulsivity in each of the four subscales: perseverance (αCronbach = 0.65) premeditation (α = 0.79), urgency (α = 0.67), and sensation seeking (α = 0.68). The Arabic validated version used in the present study confirmed the original factor structure of the scale [42].…”

Background The Pathological Narcissism Inventory (PNI) is a multidimensional measure developed to assess narcissistic grandiosity and narcissistic vulnerability. We aimed to validate the Arabic version of the original Pathological Narcissistic Inventory (PNI) and its brief form (B-PNI) in a community sample of Lebanese adults. Methods The English language PNI items were translated into Arabic following a rigorous translation, back-translation, and linguistic evaluation. A total of 401 participants were administered the translated PNI, as well as previously validated Arabic versions of the Big Five Inventory-2, the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and the Impulsivity-8 Scale. Results Exploratory and confirmatory analyses supported the existence of seven first-order and two second-order factors of the PNI and B-PNI. Except for exploitativeness where females scored lower than males, no other significant differences by gender were observed for the remaining PNI subscale scores. Additionally, scores on all the subscales exhibited good reliability, while the associations with external measures supported the concurrent validity of the translated instrument. Conclusion The results of this study suggest that scores on the PNI and B-PNI are highly reliable with satisfactory concurrent and factorial validity, providing an assessment of broadly defined pathological narcissism among the Lebanese young adult population. The availability of the Arabic PNI and its brief form should facilitate improved understanding of pathological narcissism in Arabic cultures and the different factors that govern narcissistic personality pathology.

“…This possibly validates our finding that having prostate cancer was significantly correlated with lower scores on the DOS. A possible explanation for differences in these correlations between patients with breast cancer and patients with prostate cancer, is the gender difference between these cancer types, such that gender (i.e., being female) is associated with a higher prevalence of orthorexia nervosa, as has been previously established in several articles (Awad et al, 2021;Hallit, Barrada et al, 2021). This hypothesis is further fortified by a finding that the prevalence of women who place importance on the nutritional quality of foods is twice that of men (Olejniczak et al, 2017).…”

Individuals with cancer face daily challenges regarding diet and healthy lifestyle behaviors that may lead them to better health. This quest for improved health can be exaggerated in unhealthy ways if it is not approached with moderation as occurs with a condition called orthorexia nervosa (ON). Our aim in this study was to determine the prevalence of ON tendencies and their behavioral correlates among Lebanese adults with cancer. This was a monocentric cross-sectional study, conducted between December 2021 and February 2022, involving 366 patients. We collected data via telephone and recorded answers online on a Google form. We used the Düsseldorf Orthorexia Scale (DOS) to assess orthorexic behaviors, and we checked for behavioral correlates of orthorexia through a linear regression model using the DOS score as the dependent variable. On the DOS scale, we found that 9% of these participants showed possible ON tendencies, whereas 22.2% had definite ON tendencies. Factors associated with having more ON tendencies were (a) receipt of hormonotherapy, (b) being female and (c) having breast cancer. Having prostate cancer was significantly associated with fewer ON tendencies. Our results should help improve the management of patients with cancer through programs to increase patient awareness and education.

“…In line with previous studies, we found that healthy orthorexia symptoms are associated negatively with depression and anxiety levels. 10,42,43 Healthy orthorexia assesses the interests of a healthy diet and is a separate construct from psychopathology. In addition, orthorexia nervosa symptoms correlated positively with depression and anxiety levels.…”

Objective Orthorexia Nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by a rigid preoccupation with a perceived healthy diet. However, little is known about healthy orthorexia and orthorexia nervosa. We aim to examine the relationship between healthy orthorexia and orthorexia nervosa scores and personality traits in a Turkish sample. Methods Three hundred fifty participants from a community sample aged 18-65 were included in the study. The participants completed a sociodemographic data collection form, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Teruel Orthorexia Scale (TOS), and Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI). Results The frequency of healthy orthorexia was 32.3%, and orthorexia nervosa was 10.2% in our sample. There were no differences between genders regarding healthy orthorexia and orthorexia nervosa scores. Healthy orthorexia symptoms were negatively correlated with depression and anxiety (r = −.11 and r = −.20, respectively, P < .05) while positively correlated with agreeableness (r = .17), conscientiousness (r = .14), and extraversion (r = .15). Orthorexia nervosa symptoms was positively associated with anxiety (r = .12), depression (r = .10), and healthy orthorexia (r = .55). Hierarchical regression analyses showed that depression is negatively associated with healthy orthorexia symptoms, explaining a 4% variance. The Agreeableness trait was positively associated with healthy orthorexia symptoms and explained a 4% variance. However, regression analyses could not demonstrate a specific association with orthorexia nervosa symptoms. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to examine the relationships between personality traits, healthy orthorexia, and orthorexia nervosa symptoms in a Turkish sample. Examining specific sociocultural factors is essential to understand orthorexia nervosa and healthy eating behaviors.
