VAZQUEZ-VAZQUEZ, Vanessa Monserrat et al. Emotional eating: A systematic review of validated tests in Mexican population. Rev. Mex. de trastor. aliment [online]. 2021, vol.11, n.2, pp.158-170.  Epub 18-Jun-2024. ISSN 2007-1523.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fesi.20071523e.2021.2.658.

The objective of this systematic review was to identify and analyze the psychometric properties of the emotional eating (EE) tests currently validated in Mexico. The search was performed according to PRISMA criteria in three databases: Pubmed, Science Direct and Redalyc. Two instruments were identified: The Eating and Appraisal Due to Emotions and Stress Questionnaire (EADES) and the Emotional Eating Scale (EAE). The validity method used in both scales was the exploratory factor analysis and reliability of Cronbach’s alpha (α = .91 in the EADES and α = .94 in the EES). It is concluded that the use of these scales could be based on the conceptual and operational definition of the EE that each one considers, in order to retake the one that best suits the objectives of the study. In the same way, it’s suggested to give continuity to the consolidation of the psychometric properties of both scales, through expanding to other populations (clinics, of different age groups and residents of different areas of the country) as well as using the currently suggested psychometric indicators (among them the CFA and the calculation omega’s coefficient).
