本研究旨在探讨营养标签理解任务的客观表现，以及计算能力和食物相关参与对这一表现水平的影响。进行了一项初步研究（n = 45），以编制法语量表。对于主研究（n = 101），参与者提供了人口统计学信息，并回答了营养标签调查，简短的计算量表和两种不同的食物相关参与量表（即食物参与量表和营养参与量表）。这两项研究都是在线进行的，并获得了所有参与者的同意。参与者只正确回答了三分之二的营养标签任务项目。计算能力和食物参与分数与这项任务的表现呈正相关。最后，食物参与与算术相互作用。具体来说，计算能力得分低的人在这项任务中的表现通常更差，但如果他们的食物参与得分高，他们的表现就会提高。这表明，在处理营养标签时，与食物相关的高动机可能会弥补计算能力差。
The purpose of this study was to investigate objective performance on a nutrition label comprehension task, and the influence of numeracy and food-related involvement on this performance level. A pilot study (n = 45) was run to prepare the scales in French. For the main study (n = 101), participants provided demographic information and answered the nutrition label survey, the short numeracy scale and two different food-related involvement scales (i.e. the food involvement scale and the nutrition involvement scale). Both studies were conducted online, and consent was obtained from all participants. Participants answered correctly only two-thirds of the nutrition label task items. Numeracy and food involvement scores were positively correlated with performance on this task. Finally, food involvement interacted with numeracy. Specifically, people scoring low in numeracy performed generally more poorly on the task, but if they had high food involvement scores, their performance increased. This suggests that high food-related motivation may compensate for poor numeracy skills when dealing with nutrition labels.
