Reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Salzburg emotional eating scale: a psychometric study.
Article in Journal of eating disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe Salzburg Emotional Eating Scale (SEES) measures emotional eating by evaluating responses to both positive and negative emotions. This study aimed to establish the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the SEES (SEES-TR).
methodThe SEES was translated into Turkish and back-translated into English. The translated version was reviewed by experts and pretested on a preliminary sample. The final version was administered to 303 participants from Namık Kemal University (mean age: 22.1 ± 4.8 years, 89.1% female). The data collected included demographic information and responses to the SEES and the Emotional Eating Subscale of the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ). Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha, McDonald's omega, and test-retest analyses. Validity was evaluated using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, along with content and face validity and convergent validity.
resultsThe SEES-TR demonstrated high internal consistency, with Cronbach's alpha values for the subscales ranged from 0.913 to 0.942, indicating excellent reliability. McDonald's omega values supported these findings. Test-retest reliability indicated stability over time. Exploratory factor analysis confirmed a four-factor structure consistent with the original SEES, corresponding to happiness, sadness, anger, and anxiety, further supported by confirmatory factor analysis. Content and face validity were established through expert reviews and pretesting. Significant positive correlations (r = 0.425-0.522, p < 0.01) between the SEES-TR subscales and the DEBQ Emotional Eating Subscale indicate strong convergent validity.
conclusionThe Turkish version of the Salzburg Emotional Eating Scale showed reliability and validity for assessing emotional eating behaviors in the Turkish population. This tool can be useful in both clinical and research settings to evaluate emotional eating in response to various emotional states.
