Psychometric validation of the Italian State Urge to Be Physically Active Questionnaire in eating disorders: Psychopathology correlates and diagnostic differences.
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: analyses revealed higher scores occurring in anorexia nervosa compared to binge-eating disorder, which decreased significantly over hospitalization, findings that are consistent with sensitivity to clinical change. High scores predominated in restrictive anorexia nervosa subtypes. Overall, findings support the psychometric adequacy of SUPAQ-I score interpretations for measuring acute movement urges in EDs. It appeared to capture an affect-driven and state-related dimension of movement urges related to, but not fully explained by, existing trait-based exercise measures and showed sensitive to clinical change. Further research is needed to refine cutoffs and examine the generalizability of these findings across populations and settings. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).
