In Western food culture, chocolate is the most frequently craved food. Given the risks associated with excessive consumption, an appropriate assessment scale for chocolate craving is needed, but a Japanese translation of the Attitudes to Chocolate Questionnaire (ACQ) does not yet exist. We developed a Japanese version of the ACQ and examined its validity and reliability. An online survey of 630 adults (272 men and 358 women, mean age 38.94 years) was administered. Further, an additional survey of 88 adults (47 men and 41 women) was conducted to assess the test-retest reliability. The results reveal that the Japanese version of the ACQ has a two-factor structure, as indicated by previous studies, and high internal consistency and test-retest reliability. These results suggest that the Japanese version of the ACQ has the same characteristics as the original, German, and Dutch versions, and is a valid and reliable scale to assess chocolate craving.
