Resumen
Background. Adolescence is one of the stages where a large number of physical,
psychological and emotional changes occur, the latter playing a key role in adherence
to a healthy dietary pattern. Taking into account the above, this research reflects the
objectives of developing an explanatory model of the incidence of attention, clarity and
emotional repair on adherence to the Mediterranean diet and to contrast the structural
model through a multigroup analysis based on Mediterranean adherence to this dietary
pattern.
Methods. To this end, a comparative descriptive cross-sectional study has been carried
out with 293 students from the third cycle of primary education. The instruments used
were a sociodemographic questionnaire, the KIDMED test and the Trait Meta-Mood
Scale (TMMS-24).
Results. Students who show low adherence to the Mediterranean diet have a negative
association with the repair of negative emotions. Participants who show a medium
adherence to the Mediterranean diet, it is observed that they have a negative relationship
with emotional clarity, while students who claim to have a high adherence to the
Mediterranean diet show positive relationships with each of the constructs that make
up emotional intelligence.
