Abstract
UNLABELLED: Psychometric evaluation of the German version of the Health Regulatory Focus Scale Objectives: This study examines the psychometric properties of the German version of the Health Regulatory Focus Scale (HRFS), which measures health-related promotion- and prevention-based motivation.
METHODS: The study is based on data from the 28th (N = 332) and 29th survey wave (N = 253) of the Saxony Longitudinal Study. It examines item characteristics, factorial, convergent and prognostic validity as well as the influence of sociodemographic variables.
RESULTS: The psychometric properties of the German version are excellent, after removal of Item 5. A two-factor structure as well as good validity were confirmed.
CONCLUSION: The shortened German version of the HRFS is well suited to capturing the health related regulatory focus of this test and makes it useful in the area of health promotion and prevention.
