WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Food Acceptance and Awareness Questionnaire, FAAQ Test

Food Acceptance and Awareness Questionnaire (FAAQ) Test - Symptoms and Signs

cbt
awareness
eating behavior

This measure is designed to assess how individuals relate to internal experiences connected to eating and appetite. The Food Acceptance and Awareness Questionnaire (FAAQ) provides a brief self-report snapshot of acceptance of food-related urges and mindful awareness of eating-related choices.

Items ask respondents to rate how they respond to hunger, cravings, and emotionally driven urges to eat, including the degree to which they can notice these experiences without excessive avoidance or self-judgment. The instrument includes 10 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete.

In clinical and research settings, the Food Acceptance and Awareness Questionnaire (FAAQ) may be used to characterize eating-related acceptance/awareness processes and to monitor change over time, such as during interventions targeting problematic eating patterns. It was developed by Juarascio, A.
