IES-2
Intuitive Eating Scale-2 – deutsche Version (Gisch & Warschburger)
Short abstract
The IES-2 has been adapted from the English original and measures intuitive eating behavior in adulthood. It comprises 23 items distributed over four subscales (Unconditional permission to eat, Eating for physical rather than emotional reasons, Trust in physical hunger and satiety signals, Eating in accordance with physical needs). Reliability: Cronbach's internal consistency ranges from alpha = .73-.91. Validity: A factor analysis demonstrates a four-factor model. In addition, analyses can show associations with different variables (e.g., gender, age, weight, quality of life).
