“…Respondents are asked to rate each item according to the past seven days. The reliability and validity of each Japanese version has already been confirmed (Doi, Roberts, Takeuchi, & Suzuki, 2001; Ujiie & Kono, 1994; Someya et al., 2001; Kitamura & Suzuki, 1993; Asukai et al., 2002).…”

“…The development of the items was based on clinical descriptions of AN phenomenology and criteria provided by Feighner, et al (1972) to diagnose this eating disorder (ED). Over time, the EAT has became one of the most broadly used self-reports in the field of ED in a variety of cultures (Castro, Toro, Salamero, & Guimera, 1991;De Leon, Ruiz, & Camacho, 2008;Koslowsky, et al, 1992;Leichner, Steiger, Puentes-Neuman, Perreault, & Gottheil, 1994;Nasser, 1986Nasser, , 1997Neumaerker, Dudeck, Vollrath, & Neumaerker, 1992;Pereira, et al, 2008;Ranzenhofer, et al, 2008;Ujiie, & Kono, 1994).…”

The Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26): Reliability and Validity in Spanish Female Samples

et al. 2010

This paper focuses on the validation of the Spanish form of the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26; Garner, Olmsted, Bohr\ud \ud & Garfinkel, 1982) across two studies. Participants in Study 1 were 778 females recruited from community settings\ud \ud (aged 12-21). Study 2 included 86 females recruited from clinical and 86 females from community settings (aged 12-\ud \ud 35). Results from Principal and Simultaneous Component Analyses showed a unidimensional structure of the EAT-26\ud \ud item scores. Reliability analyses supported the internal consistency of the scale. Study 1 also explores the ability of\ud \ud the EAT-26 to discriminate between subjects with Eating Disorder (ED), Symptomatic or Asymptomatic by means of\ud \ud ROC analyses and using results from the Questionnaire for Eating Disorder Diagnoses (Q-EDD; Mintz, O’Halloran,\ud \ud Mulholland, & Schneider, 1997) as criterion. The EAT-26 demonstrated good specificity but insufficient sensitivity to\ud \ud detect a full or partial ED. Study 2 explores the ability of the questionnaire to discriminate between subjects with and\ud \ud without ED. The EAT-26 demonstrated good specificity and moderate sensitivity to detect ED. Clinical and theoretical\ud \ud implications of these results are discussed

“…Denying symptoms of eating disorder behaviour and attitudes is in part immanent to anorexia and, in order to overcome this problem and to improve case detections, the authors proposed the inclusion of further questions concerning weight and mood. Ujiie and Kono [3] pointed out high false-negative mean scores among the restricting type of anorexia. Mintz and O'Halloran [1] reached a similar result and suggested that the EAT may not be a valid assessment tool for the restricting type.…”

Denial of Symptoms and Psychopathology in Adolescent Anorexia Nervosa

et al. 2006

Objective: To evaluate the psychopathological status and denial of symptoms in a sample of 38 consecutively admitted adolescents with anorexia nervosa (AN). Method: The Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Aged Children was used to determine the categorical diagnosis of eating disorder. The anorexic adolescents completed the EAT-40 (Eating Attitude Test) and, on the basis of its score, the sample was dichotomized in a false-negative group (FNG) scoring under 30 and a positive group (PG) scoring over 30. We compared these two subgroups in terms of clinical variables (age of onset and admission, duration of illness prior to admission, diagnosis, BMI) and psychopathology assessed by the CBCL (Child Behaviour Checklist) and the YSR (Youth Self-Report). In order to evaluate the possible role of diagnosis and BMI on the EAT score we also dichotomized the sample with respect to the diagnosis (full vs. partial AN) and to the mean female BMI (≤15 vs. >15). Results: A significant difference was found in terms of duration of illness prior to admission, which was briefer in the FNG. Higher CBCL and YSR values were found in the PG with significant differences in terms of YSR internalizing symptoms. A large amount of significantly positive Pearson’s correlations were found between the CBCL and YSR values in the FNG. No significant Pearson’s correlations were found between EAT, BMI and diagnosis. Conclusions: The lower CBCL and YSR values in the FNG seem to point out a tendency of this group to deny anxiety and depression as well as an eating pathology; the longer duration of illness prior to admission in the PG seems to support the hypothesis that the PG may be considered to be not so much more disturbed as more aware of its eating attitudes and psychopathology. The nature of denial in anorexic adolescents is discussed.
