Abstract

BACKGROUND: Motivation and desire are the main psychological factors associated with regular
breakfast consumption among elementary students. The purpose of this study was to assess the
readiness of students to regular breakfast consumption.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This research was cross‑sectional study; 300 students participated
who were selected based on cluster sampling from elementary schools in different parts of Ardabil
and were interviewed using a motivational questionnaire according to SOC model. The acquired
data was then analyzed by ANOVA and linear regression.
RESULTS: Cognitive processes of change such as social liberation (β = 0.31, α = 0.001) and
self‑reevaluation (β = 0.13, α = 0.04) and self‑efficacy (β = 0.44, α = 0.001) played a significant role
in motivating students to move from the inactive stage to preparation stage.
CONCLUSION: By understanding the motivational factors of regular breakfast consumption, a regular
program can be implemented to increase breakfast consumption and ensure the health of students
and help them to grow in learning ability and abstract thinking.
