这项研究调查了自我调节认知和社会影响变量对健康行为（营养和身体活动）的影响是否因国家而异。来自匈牙利、波兰、土耳其和美国的青少年（N = 2387）参与了这项研究。测量指标包括自我效能感、未来取向、社会比较取向、同伴感知行为、年龄和性别。这些变量被纳入路径模型作为健康行为的预测因子。还审查了国家作为调解人的作用。结果显示，自我效能感、SCO和同伴感知行为预测了所有四个国家的健康促进行为。在未来取向和性别的作用方面发现了一些差异。
This study investigated whether the effects of self-regulatory cognitions and social influence variables on healthy behaviors - nutrition and physical activity - vary across countries. Adolescents (N = 2387) from Hungary, Poland, Turkey, and the USA participated in the study. Measures included self-efficacy, future orientation, social comparison orientation (SCO), perceived behaviors of peers, as well as age and gender. These variables were included in the path model as predictors of healthy behaviors. The role of a country as a moderator was also examined. Results showed that self-efficacy, SCO, and perceived behaviors of peers predicted both health-promoting behaviors in all four countries. Some differences were found regarding the role of future orientation and gender.
