The Eating Beliefs Questionnaire (EBQ) is a self-report tool designed to evaluate both positive and negative beliefs about food and eating. These beliefs are thought to significantly contribute to the persistence of binge eating behaviors seen in individuals with Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, and other atypical eating disorders.
What this tool is good for:
The EBQ is particularly useful in diagnosing and understanding eating disorders like Bulimia Nervosa and Binge Eating Disorder. The EBQ aids in identifying cognitive patterns that sustain binge eating behaviors, which helps clinicians tailor treatment plans and supports research into the cognitive aspects of eating disorders.
