Psychometric properties of measures of hedonic and eudaimonic orientations in Japan: the HEMA scale. The hedonic and eudaimonic motives for activities (HEMA) in Japan: the pursuit of well-being.

It is hoped that our findings will stimulate further research on well-being using the HEMA scale. In sum, these findings suggest that the Japanese HEMA scale is useful to capture hedonic and eudaimonic conceptions of well-being as orientations. The scale showed high internal consistency and six-week test-retest reliability and reasonable correlations with life satisfaction, positive affect, negative affect, psychological well-being, and interdependent happiness. Latent mean differences of the scale across these demographic groups were less than small. The Japanese HEMA scale demonstrated measurement invariance at the configural, metric, scalar, and strict levels across gender and age groups. We investigated the measurement invariance and psychometric properties of the Hedonic and Eudamonic Motives for Activities (HEMA) scale in a Japanese adult sample ( N = 1,892). Greater attention to hedonic motivation is critical for understanding behaviors that account for a significant proportion of worldwide death and disease.Hedonic pleasure orientation (seeking enjoyment), hedonic relaxation orientation (seeking comfort), and eudaimonic orientation (seeking meaning) are major ways that people pursue well-being. The concept of hedonic motivation is based on recent developments in the fields of affective neuroscience (i.e., incentive salience theory) and psychology (i.e., dual-processing theory) and is positioned herein as the central mechanism of the ancient and intuitive theory of psychological hedonism. Why is it so hard to choose the fruit salad instead of the chocolate cake? Why do we dread our daily workout? And why do some of us find it so difficult to quit smoking, quit drinking too much, or stop using drugs? This chapter argues that these unhealthy behaviors are largely a function of hedonic motivation: an automatically triggered motivational state that manifests in a felt desire to perform behaviors that have previously brought immediate pleasure, or dread of performing behaviors that have previously brought immediate displeasure. 21 Affective Determinants of Health Behavior.Part 1 Conclusions and Future Directions.20 Decision Making in Cancer Prevention and Control.19 Emotions, Delay, and Avoidance in Cancer Screening.14 The Role of Negative Affect in the Course of Substance Use Disorders.12 “Stressed Spelled Backward Is Desserts”.
