Abstract

Food involvement is one of the personality traits that influences the food cognition and behavior of consumers. Given the irrelevance of previous food involvement scales such as measuring lifestyle diligence and a food culture, this study aimed to develop the food involvement inventory (FII) designed specifically for foods and current consumers. This study focused on identifying the factors/constructs of the FII that would best represent and explain food involvement through item generation, administration, and validation. The collected items from involvement-related scales and expert discussions were administrated based on the evidence of construct and content. Validation of the FII based on the exploratory factor analysis identified four attitudinal components as constructs (affective, cognitive, behavioral-purchase, and behavioral-cooking) within the final 25 items. These four constructs constituted structural models for the FII, and the models were shown to be acceptable in the confirmatory factor analysis.

摘要

食物参与是影响消费者对食物的认知和行为的人格特质之一。鉴于以前的食物参与量表（如衡量生活方式勤奋程度和饮食文化）无关紧要，因此本研究旨在开发专门为食物和当前消费者设计的食物参与量表（FII）。这项研究的重点是确定FII的因素/结构，这些因素/结构最能通过项目生成，管理和确认来代表和解释食物的参与。从参与程度量表和专家讨论中收集的项目是根据结构和内容的证据进行管理的。根据探索性因素分析对FII进行验证，确定了四种态度成分作为构成因素（情感，认知，行为购买，和行为烹饪）中的最后25项。这四个构建体构成了FII的结构模型，并且在验证性因子分析中显示该模型是可接受的。
