The present study explored the reliability and validity of our newly translated test, the Korean version of the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire(DEBQ). We gave the DEBQ to 292 female college students in Seoul. The DEBQ consisted of three subtest, Restrained Eating Scale(DEBQ-R), Emotional Eating Scale(DEBQ-EM), and External Eating Scale(DEBQ-EX). Estimated internal reliability using Cronbach's α of each test was .90, .93, .79, respectively. The correlation between the Three Factor Eating Questionnaire(TFEQ)-CR(cognitive restrained scale) and DEBQ-R was .86, Eating Disorder Inventory(EDI)-B(bulimia scale) and DEBQ-EM or DEBQ-EX were .54 and .41, respectively. Validity of the DEBQ was investigated by principal component analysis, yielding 3 factors of restrained eating pattern, emotional eating pattern, and external eating pattern. The present results indicate that the DEBQ is a useful tool in the analysis various eating patterns. Some limitations of this study and implications for further studies are discussed.
