Abstract:

 It is thought that the tendency to finish all the food on the plate plate clearing tendency is a behavior that can be frequently observed in individuals and may increase the frequency of obesity. It was aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Plate Clearing Tendency Scale PCTS, which was developed to evaluate individual differences in plate clearing tendency, in a sample of Turkish individuals. The study was conducted with 333 adults 32.7 male, 67.3 female aged between 19 and 64 years mean 32.411.5. Individuals completed the questionnaire online. Validity and reliability analyses were conducted for the Turkish version of the plate cleaning tendency scale T-PCTS. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to evaluate the factor structure of the T-PCTS, and reliability analyses and Spearman correlations were also examined. The one-factor structure of the T-PCTS showed good model fit and had acceptable internal reliability Cronbach alpha and McDonald Omega 0.70. No relationship was found between T-PCTS and food cravings and its sub-factors p0.05. A negative and non-significant relationship was found between total T-PCTS score and body mass index r-0.022, p0.05. T-PCTS is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring plate clearing tendency in Turkish adults. The tendency to clean the plate was not affected by immediate situations that guide eating behavior such as food cravings. Considering that long-term negative eating behaviors are effective in the emergence of obesity, the tendency to clean the plate may be shaped by past eating behaviors and may provide a new perspective on obesity management.

 Tabaktaki yemeğin tamamını bitirmeye yönelik eğilimin tabak temizleme eğilimi bireylerde sıklıkla gözlenebilecek bir davranış olduğu ve obezite sıklığını artırabileceği düşünülmektedir. Tabak temizleme eğilimindeki bireysel farklılıkların değerlendirilebilmesi amacıyla geliştirilen Tabak Temizleme Eğilimi Ölçeğinin Plate Clearing Tendency Scale-PCTS Türk bireylerden oluşan bir örneklemde psikometrik özelliklerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma, 19-64 yaşları arasında ortalama 32,411,5 333 yetişkin birey 32,7 erkek, 67,3 kadın birey ile yürütülmüştür. Bireyler anket formunu çevrimiçi olarak tamamlamıştır. Tabak temizleme eğilimi ölçeğinin Türkçe versiyonu için geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik analizleri yapılmıştır. T-PCTSnin faktör yapısını değerlendirmek için doğrulayıcı faktör analizinden yararlanılmıştır ayrıca güvenirlik analizleri ve Spearman korelasyonları da incelenmiştir. T-PCTSnin tek faktörlü yapısı iyi model uyumu göstermiştir ve kabul edilebilir iç güvenirliğe sahiptir Cronbach alpha ve McDonald Omega 0,70. T-PCTS ile besin isteği ve alt faktörleri arasında ilişki saptanmamıştır p0,05. Toplam T-PCTS puanı ile beden kütle indeksi arasında negatif yönlü ve anlamlı olmayan bir ilişki saptanmıştır r-0,022, p0,05. T-PCTS Türk yetişkinlerde tabak temizleme eğilimini ölçmede geçerli ve güvenilir bir araçtır. Tabak temizleme eğilimi besin isteği gibi yeme davranışını yönlendiren anlık durumlardan etkilenmemiştir. Obezitenin ortaya çıkmasında uzun sürece yayılan olumsuz yeme davranışlarının etkili olduğu düşünüldüğünde, tabak temizleme eğilimi geçmiş dönemde yerleşmiş beslenme davranışlarına bağlı şekillenebilir ve obezite yönetimine yeni bir bakış açısı kazandırabilir.
