Using ecSI 2.0 and sDOR.2-6y

Using the Satter Inventories: ecSI 2.0TM  and sDOR.2-6yTM

The Satter inventories measure the social, emotional, and relational aspects of feeding and eating. Rather than addressing what and/or how much individuals eat, they query eating attitudes and behaviors and the feeding relationship between parent and child. Studies show that positive eating and feeding as measured by the Satter inventories correlate with superior nutritional and wellness indicators.

The Satter Eating Competence Inventory (ecSI 2.0TM)

ecSI 2.0TM is a copyrighted, validated instrument for assessing adult Eating Competence as defined by the Satter Eating Competence Model.1 ecSI 2.0TM has been validated in English and in other languages for all income groups. It has test-retest reliability so it can be used before, during, and after intervention. The 16 items on ecSI 2.0TM  address each of four ecSatter factors: eating attitudes (I am comfortable with my enjoyment of food and eating), food acceptance (I experiment with new food and learn to like it), food regulation (I eat as much as I am hungry for), and contextual skills (I make time to eat).

sDOR.2-6y TM

sDOR.2-6y TM  is a copyrighted, validated instrument that assesses parent adherence to the Satter Division of Responsibility in Feeding with children from ages two to six years. It has test-retest reliability so it can be used before, during, and after intervention.2 The 12 items on sDOR.2-6y TM  address parent leadership with feeding (My family has meals at about the same times every day), and child autonomy with eating (I let my child eat until s/he stops eating and doesn’t want to eat any more).
