| Food Preoccupation Questionnaire |
This questionnaire is designed to assess both the frequency of food-related thoughts and their emotional valence. The questionnaire shows good construct validity, internal reliability and test-retest reliability. The original 26 item version assesses thought frequency and the extent to which thoughts have a positive, negative or neutral emotional valence. Also included below is a 21 item version that omits the neutral subscale.
