Validity of the Revised Hedonic and Eudaimonic Motives for Activities Scale (HEMA-R) in an Argentine Sample

VALIDATION OF THE HEDONIC AND EUDAIMONIC MOTIVES FOR ACTIVITIES-REVISED (HEMA-R) IN AN ARGENTINE SAMPLE

The Argentine adaptation of the HEMA-R supports a two-factor structure (hedonia and eudaimonia) with adequate fit, acceptable reliability, and moderate temporal stability.

The aim was to translate and culturally adapt the HEMA-R scale and evaluate its psychometric properties in Argentine adults. The scale was adapted from the validated Italian version through bilingual review, back-translation, and cultural adaptation; it consists of 10 items rated on a 7-point Likert scale. The sample comprised 514 university students (71.34% women, age range 18–71). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) yielded CFI = 0.97, TLI = 0.96, RMSEA = 0.070 (90% confidence interval 0.06–0.09), and SRMR = 0.061 for the two-factor model, and CFI = 0.98, TLI = 0.98, RMSEA = 0.053, and SRMR = 0.049 for the three-factor model; the two-factor solution was retained. Items 1, 4, 6, 7, and 9 constituted the hedonia factor, while items 2, 3, 5, 8, and 10 constituted the eudaimonia factor; the correlation between the factors was r = 0.40, p < 0.001. Internal consistency was ω = 0.76 and α = 0.73 for hedonia, and ω = 0.67 and α = 0.65 for eudaimonia. For discriminant validity, average variance extracted (AVE) values were 0.44 and 0.35, HTMT was 0.42, and r² = 0.16. For test–retest reliability, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was 0.60 for hedonia (r = 0.61, p < 0.001) and 0.53 for eudaimonia (r = 0.53, p < 0.001). Items seven and ten showed the lowest factor loadings, and eudaimonia exhibited stronger and more consistent associations with measures of well-being. In conclusion, the Argentine version of the HEMA-R supports a consistent two-factor structure with adequate reliability, discriminant and convergent validity, and moderate temporal stability.
