目的：运用自我决定理论，本研究探讨了不同的监管过程中的健康饮食动机和他们的决定因素在跨文化的样本，通过探索因素结构，测量不变性，结构效度的健康饮食动机量表（MHES）设计：381匈牙利，264日本，293挪威大学生参加了横断面调查研究。采用验证性因素分析、相关分析和协变量检验进行心理测量学评价。主要观察指标：除MHES的6个因子外，（无动机，外部，内向，整合，识别调节和内在动机），验证变量包括肥胖状态，不吃早餐，健康，情绪，外部和克制的饮食风格。MHES的优先六因素模型充分拟合所有三种培养物的样本数据。调查问卷表明，所有组的因素结构和因素负荷的不变性。不同类型的监管过程中表现出弱关联的验证变量在预期的方向，有点不同的模式跨culture.Conclusion：MHES是一个有效的工具，衡量不同类型的健康饮食的行为法规。该措施在不同文化中的解释相似，这使得进一步研究促进健康饮食的因素成为可能。
Objective: Applying self-determination theory, the present study examined the different regulatory processes of healthy eating motivations and their determinants in a cross-cultural sample by exploring the factor structure, measurement invariance, and construct validity of the Motivation for Healthy Eating Scale (MHES).Design: 381 Hungarian, 264 Japanese, and 293 Norwegian university students participated in the cross-sectional survey study. The psychometric evaluation was done by applying confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), correlation analysis, and CFA with covariates testing.Main outcome measures: Besides the six factors of MHES (Amotivation, External, Introjected, Integrated, Identified regulation and Intrinsic motivation), validating variables included obesity status, breakfast skipping, wellbeing, and emotional, external and restrained eating styles.Results: Thea priorisix-factor model of MHES adequately fit the sample data from all three cultures. The questionnaire demonstrated invariance of the factor structure and factor loadings across all of the groups. The different types of regulatory processes showed weak associations with the validating variables in the expected directions, with somewhat varied patterns across cultures.Conclusion: The MHES is a valid tool that measures different types of behavioural regulations of healthy eating. The measure is interpreted similarly across different cultures, which makes further investigations of the factors promoting healthy eating possible.
