The Hedonic and Eudaimonic Motives for Activities-Revised scale (HEMA-R) is one of the most extensively used instruments to assess how people pursue well-being. The main aims of the present research were to translate HEMA-R into Chinese and test its construct and predictive validity as well as measurement invariance across gender. In Study 1, we conducted confirmatory factor analysis with data containing 1090 Chinese undergraduates, and replicated the two-factor model which has been found in other studies. Furthermore, the measurement invariance across gender was supported throughout the multi-group confirmatory factor analysis. Study 2 replicated these results and further found the HEMA-R had satisfactory predictive validity in measures of well-being, social support and smartphone addiction. All the findings indicate that the HEMA-R is reliable and valid to measure hedonic and eudaimonic motives, and it could be applied generally across gender in Chinese adults.
活动的享乐主义和幸福论动机修订量表(HEMA-R)是评估人们追求幸福的最广泛使用的工具之一。本研究的主要目的是将 HEMA-R 翻译成中文,并检验其在跨性别群体中的结构和预测有效性以及测量不变性。在研究 1 中,我们对包含 1090 名中国本科生的数据进行了验证性因素分析,复制了在其他研究中发现的两因素模型。此外,跨性别群体的测量不变性在多组验证性因素分析中得到了支持。研究 2 复制了这些结果,并进一步发现 HEMA-R 在幸福感、社会支持和智能手机成瘾的测量中具有良好的预测有效性。所有的发现都表明,HEMA-R 是可靠和有效的,可用于衡量享乐主义和幸福论动机,并且可以在一般中国成年人中跨性别使用。
