“…Other tools attempt to address specific screening problems that concern the ED population, such as lack of disclosure. The Self-Loathing Subscale (SLSS) has been shown to have high internal consistency, concurrent validity, and convergent validity; since the SLSS is based on questions about exercise and is not easily identifiable as a screening tool for EDs, the scale may be particularly useful in identifying possible pathologies in individuals who may try to suppress or deny obvious symptoms of EDs (Aruguete et al, 2007). Alternatively, clinicians should recognize that the majority of women with EDs will not readily disclose this information to their healthcare providers, so asking questions sensitively as a concerned provider for the infant or child might be better received than strategies Engaging Healthcare Providers to Help Mothers with Eating Disorders Create Healthy Eating Environments for Their Children such as use of the SLSS (Carwell and Spatz, 2011).…”

Eating disorders (EDs), such as anorexia, bulimia, and bingeeating disorder, involve extreme emotions, attitudes, and behaviors surrounding weight, food, and body image, all of which can lead to destructive health consequences. While EDs have innumerable effects on affected individuals, less is known about the consequences for the offspring of childbearing women with past or current EDs. Children of mothers with EDs are at increased risk of various problems during gestation and childhood, including higher rates of miscarriage, cesarean-section deliveries, and stillbirth; greater likelihood of preterm delivery, small- or large-for-gestational-age, low or high birth weight, and growth disturbances; and lower likelihood of being breastfed. These children are also more likely to develop dysfunctional eating habits, behaviors, and attitudes throughout adolescence. Possible effects of maternal EDs on parenting include withholding food from children, using food to reward or punish, a preoccupation with weight interfering with the mother’s responsiveness to her child, failure to express positive attitudes toward eating, and higher tension during mealtimes. These risks are influenced by a variety of factors and the consequences for children are difficult to predict. Complicating matters, the foundations of an ED are established long before diagnosis. The familial setting provides a unique opportunity for integrated and concurrent primary and tertiary ED-prevention strategies for both child and mother. It is imperative for healthcare providers to consider the potential value of educational programs and support for mothers with EDs, as early intervention could interrupt the cycle of risk associated with eating disorders and their effects on the developing child.

“…Draeger et al (23) studied the concept of obligatory exercise by assessing an overcommitment to exercise using the Self-Loathing Subscale (SLSS). Aruguete et al (24) verified the reliability and validity of the SLSS as a tool for possible EDs. These studies suggest that the SLSS has high internal consistency, concurrent validity, and convergent validity.…”

“…These studies suggest that the SLSS has high internal consistency, concurrent validity, and convergent validity. Aruguete et al (24) also mentioned that the SLSS as a part of the EOQ was based on exercise-related issues; therefore, it was not easily identifiable by participants as a screening tool for eating disorders. Hausenblas and Downs (25) noted that overstating the similarities between eating disorders and obligatory exercisers and using unidimensional scales to assess the complete construct was not appropriate.…”

The Exercise Orientation Questionnaire (EOQ) is a method for evaluating individuals' exercise attitudes and behaviors associated with exercise motivation. A lack of exercise motivation can affect physical activity attitudes, behavior, and action among university students. Physical inactivity may lead to health risks. The purpose of this study was to assess the measurement of psychological properties in the EOQ and to determine the reliability and validity of the EOQ when applied to Chinese university students. A total of 368 university students (male 48.8%) aged between 17 and 23 years (M = 19.60, SD = 1.18) participated in the current study. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) were used to verify the factorial validity of the EOQ. The internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega) was used to determine reliability. Multiple regression analysis was used to test concurrent validity. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to determine the participants' level of physical activity. The range of the subscale coefficient was 0.80–0.89, and the total scale was 0.95, which indicated that the reliability of the EOQ was excellent. The research showed that the initial CFA model of the EOQ had poorly fitting indices. The corrected model after seven residual correlations achieved the setting standard, but the correlation coefficient between some factors exceeded the standard threshold, which indicated that the CFA fitting model was not ideal. ESEM is a combination of exploratory and verifiable analytical techniques. Using ESEM and abbreviated version CFA to analyze the data indicated that the model fitted well [ESEM: TLI = 0.97 > 0.90, CFI = 0.96 > 0.90, SRMR = 0.02 < 0.08, and RMSEA = 0.045 < 0.08 (90% CI 0.033–0.055); CFA: TLI = 0.92 > 0.90, CFI = 0.91 > 0.90, SRMR = 0.08, and RMSEA = 0.06 < 0.08 (90% CI 0.055–0.067)]. The results of multiple regression analysis suggested that the ESEM model was effective in distinguishing the differences between individuals with different levels of physical activity (PAL) and body mass index (BMI). Overall, the Chinese abbreviated version of the EOQ (EOQ-CA) was fond to be a reliable tool for monitoring the exercise attitudes and behaviors of Chinese University students.
