Adherence to plant-rich diets remains low despite numerous health benefits accruing to such practices. We sought to distinguish college students who report high adherence to a plant-rich diet ("Sustainers") from those who are less successful ("Strivers"). Sustainers more strongly endorsed multiple ethical dietary motives and indicated stronger allegiance to their values compared to Strivers, who rated health reasons more highly. Sustainers scored better on seven factors relating to effective dietary goal pursuit. Results underscore the importance of motivational factors in the maintenance of plant-based eating.
尽管遵循富含植物的饮食有诸多健康益处，但此类饮食习惯的坚持率仍然很低。我们试图区分那些报告对富含植物的饮食有高坚持度的大学生（“维持者”）和那些不太成功的学生（“奋斗者”）。与更看重健康原因的“奋斗者”相比，“维持者”更强烈地认可多种道德饮食动机，并表明对自己的价值观有更强的忠诚。在与有效追求饮食目标相关的七个因素上，“维持者”得分更高。结果强调了动机因素在维持植物性饮食方面的重要性。
