Brief Summary

Background: Mindful eating is an important concept that refers to individuals regulating their eating behaviors by being aware of factors such as physical hunger, satiety, emotional states and environmental influences. This approach can be used especially in psychologically based interventions such as eating disorders, emotional eating and combating obesity. Aim: In this study, it is aimed to adapt the MIND-EAT scale into Turkish and to analyze its validity and reliability. Methods The sample of the study consists of at least 360 volunteer individuals aged 18 and over. Care will be taken to ensure a balanced gender distribution in the sample selection. The data collection process will be carried out through an online survey platform using non-probability random sampling method. In addition to obtaining information on the demographic characteristics (age, gender, education level, etc.) and eating habits of the participants through the survey, the Mindful Eating Scale (MIND-EAT Scale) will be applied as the main data collection tool. The Intuitive Eating Scale 2 (IES-2) and the Three Factor Eating Scale (TFEQ-R21) will be used to test the validity of the scale. To assess the reliability of the scale, a minimum of 20 participants will be administered the scale again at a 2-week interval. Expected Results of the Study: If the MIND-EAT scale is adapted to the Turkish population with a validity and reliability study, it will determine whether individuals have eating awareness and will contribute to the development of more effective approaches.
