Abstract
The purpose of this work is to establish the validity of the Indonesian Palatable Eating Motives Scale (I-PEMS) and to describe the characteristics in palatable eating motives among current Indonesian young adults. The Original Palatable Eating Motives Scale (PEMS) was translated into Indonesian and back-translated into English to confirm the conceptual and linguistic equivalence. The scale was administered to emerging adults aged 18-25 years old. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the I-PEMS has an acceptable factor structure. The result provided evidence of four factors of palatable eating motives. No significant difference from the I-PEMS score between males and females. The association was only observed between the scores of Conformity motive and Body Mass Index.
Highlights
The tendency to gain weight is associated with two factors: 1) metabolic and 2) behavioral risk factors [1]
Both can cause a positive energy balance, but aspects of the energy intake are considered to be more contributing to the positive energy balance
The main objective of this study is to validate the Palatable Eating Motives Scale (PEMS) measurement tools that have been adapted in Indonesian (I-PEMS)
Summary
The tendency to gain weight is associated with two factors: 1) metabolic and 2) behavioral risk factors [1]. The second factor is behavioral factors related to energy intake and energy expenditure. Both can cause a positive energy balance, but aspects of the energy intake are considered to be more contributing to the positive energy balance. The behavioral risk factors can be in the form of patterns of eating behavior, hedonic events that guide and reinforce behavior, the strength of hunger and satiety sensations, or preferences for and selection of particular types of foods. Some of the diets associated with weight gain are disinhibition eating, binge eating, and eating in the absence of hunger. Preferences for and selection of particular types of foods matter. We are living in an environment called food abundant environment
