General Description

Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire – Food Craving (CFQ-FC) is a 7-item measure designed to specifically assess the tendency to get fused with disturbing mental events (such as undesirable and disturbing thoughts and urges) around food craving.CFQ-FC presented a one-dimensional structure and revealed a very good internal consistency, construct reliability, temporal stability, and convergent and divergent validity, being positively associated with similar constructs and with indicators of eating and general psychopathology. CFQ-FC also discriminated individuals with clinically significant symptoms of binge eating from participants with no symptoms.
