This study aimed to cross-culturally adapt the 17-item Fruit Self-Efficacy (FSE) and Vegetable Self-Efficacy (VSE) scales into Malay and obtain initial evidence on their measurement properties. The study comprised two sequential phases. Phase 1 involved forward and backward translation, cognitive debriefing with five adolescents, linguistic equivalence assessment by six experts, content validity assessment by nine experts, qualitative and quantitative face validity assessment involving 15 unique adolescents, and pretesting with 37 adolescents. Phase 2 comprised an initial psychometric evaluation among 128 adolescents from four classes in one purposively selected public secondary school in Selangor. The adaptation process included age-appropriate refinements to the linguistic and contextual aspects of fruit and vegetable preparation, snacks, social occasions, serving terminology, and meal contexts. In particular, \u201cpieces of fruit\u201d was adapted to \u201cservings of fruit\u201d and supported by a pictorial serving guide, while \u201chot meal\u201d was contextualized as \u201cmain meal.\u201d All source items met the prespecified content-validity criteria. Scale-level content-validity indices were 0.99 for FSE and 0.95 for VSE, while scale-level face-validity indices ranged from 0.95 to 0.97. One FSE item with an initial clarity index below the criterion was revised using concrete preparation examples and reassessed. In the separate psychometric sample, the prespecified one-factor FSE model showed acceptable fit (CFI\u202f=\u202f0.974, TLI\u202f=\u202f0.970, RMSEA\u202f=\u202f0.069, SRMR\u202f=\u202f0.061), although pronounced item-level ceiling effects were observed. The prespecified VSE model showed substantial misfit (RMSEA\u202f=\u202f0.136, SRMR\u202f=\u202f0.099), and its structural validity was not established. A same-sample\n                    <jats:italic>post hoc<\/jats:italic>\n                    specification with six correlated residuals remained hypothesis-generating because its RMSEA was 0.094. The multistage process produced linguistically and culturally adapted FSE and VSE scales that met the prespecified content and face-validity criteria among the expert and adolescent samples assessed. However, evidence supporting the one-factor structure was stronger for FSE than VSE. Further cognitive investigation and adequately powered, independent multisite evaluation across diverse ethnic and age groups are required before broader use.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2026.1920784","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,29]],"date-time":"2026-09-29T05:50:11Z","timestamp":1790661011000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Cross-cultural adaptation and initial psychometric evaluation of the fruit and vegetable self-efficacy scales among secondary school adolescents in Selangor, Malaysia"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Zanariah","family":"Zaini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Toxicology and Health Risk, Faculty of Health Sciences, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia","place":["Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia"]},{"name":"Institute for Health Behavioural Research, National Institutes of Health, Ministry of Health","place":["Shah Alam, Malaysia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nursyazwani","family":"Jabir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health Behavioural Research, National Institutes of Health, Ministry of Health","place":["Shah Alam, Malaysia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arimi Fitri","family":"Mat Ludin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Healthy Ageing and Wellness, Faculty of Health Sciences, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia","place":["Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruzita","family":"Abd Talib","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Community Health Studies, Faculty of Health Sciences, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia","place":["Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ismarulyusda","family":"Ishak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Toxicology and Health Risk, Faculty of Health Sciences, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia","place":["Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","volume-title":"Self-Efficacy: the Exercise of Control","author":"Bandura","year":"1997"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"304","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02874555","article-title":"Self-regulation, self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and social support: social cognitive theory and nutrition behavior","volume":"34","author":"Anderson","year":"2007","journal-title":"Ann Behav Med"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"7","DOI":"10.1093\/her\/17.1.7","article-title":"Ethnic differences in social correlates of diet","volume":"17","author":"Cullen","year":"2002","journal-title":"Health Educ Res"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jneb.2006.06.006","article-title":"Self-efficacy and norm measures for lunch fruit and vegetable consumption are reliable and valid among fifth grade students","volume":"39","author":"Thompson","year":"2007","journal-title":"J Nutr Educ Behav"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"35","DOI":"10.1016\/j.appet.2013.02.005","article-title":"Psychosocial determinants of fruit and vegetable consumption among students in a New Zealand university.
