This study analyses the factorial structure and psychometric properties of the Eating Self-Efficacy Scale (ESES; Glynn y Ruderman, 1986), an instrument developed to measure self-efficacy in relation to food intake. Two hundred and ninety-eight Spanish subjects participated, distributed in two groups: normal-weight group (n = 193), and overweight and obese group (n = 105). The findings reveal evidence of two situational factors (Negative Affect and Soccially Acceptable Circumstances). The confirmatory factor analysis corroborated the two-factor model on an independent sample (N = 345). The results show a high level of internal consistency. Significant correlations were found between the ESES scores and other variables that we hypothesised would be related to them.

Abstract
This study analyses the factorial structure and psychometric properties of the Eating Self-Efficacy Scale (ESES; Glynn y Ruderman, 1986), an instrument developed to measure self-efficacy in relation to food intake. Two hundred and ninety-eight Spanish subjects participated, distributed in two groups: normal-weight group (n = 193), and overweight and obese group (n = 105). The findings reveal evidence of two situational factors (Negative Affect and Soccially Acceptable Circumstances). The confirmatory factor analysis corroborated the two-factor model on an independent sample (N = 345). The results show a high level of internal consistency. Significant correlations were found between the ESES scores and other variables that we hypothesised would be related to them.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
