Description
Seda Kaya and her five co-authors, publishing in 2024, check whether a Turkish version of the ORTO-R questionnaire measures unhealthy food fixations fairly. The scale targets orthorexia, an obsessive focus on healthy eating, and a good translation must be shown to hold together and to agree with related measures. The team surveyed 1,077 adults online in late 2022 and early 2023 and ran the standard battery of statistical checks.
The scale's two-part structure, one part for the fixation itself and one quirk of wording, fit the data well by every index the team reports. Both parts scored as reliable, and scores lined up as expected with an eating attitudes test, an anxiety scale, and a life satisfaction scale. The authors conclude the Turkish ORTO-R is a valid and reliable tool for studying orthorexic behavior in adults, at the level of a descriptive study.
