背景资料。良好的心理测量学测量被认为是有效研究的必要条件，本研究使用结构方程模型来检验广泛使用的关于儿童喂养的父母信念和做法的测量方法--儿童喂养问卷[Birch L.L.，Fisher J.O.，Grimm-Thomas K.，Markey C.N.，Sawyer R.，Johnson S.L.]的验证性因素分析：儿童喂养问卷的验证性因素分析：父母对儿童喂养和肥胖倾向的态度、信念和做法的衡量。食欲2001；36：201-10]方法。101名黑人和130名西班牙裔学龄前儿童(126名女孩，105名男孩)的低收入父母完成了简化版的CFQ。使用LISREL 8.51进行验证性因素分析，支持假设的因素结构，但揭示了在感知儿童体重因素和限制因素方面的跨文化概念问题，这些问题在改进的模型中得到了解决。不变性分析表明，在修改后的模型中，因素结构、负荷量和协方差在不同种族之间保持不变。控制父母BMI和婚姻状况的MANCOVA在儿童喂养责任、儿童体重关注和儿童感知体重因素上存在种族差异，这些因素受到父母教育和儿童BMI的调节。结果支持在黑人和西班牙裔中使用修订后的CFQ版本，并显示除了与父母教育和儿童超重状况的互动外，在因子得分上没有种族差异。(C)2005 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
Background. Psychometrically sound measures are considered a necessary condition for valid research, This study used structural equation modeling to examine the cross-cultural equivalence of a widely used measure of parental beliefs and practices regarding child feeding, the Child Feeding Questionnaire [Birch L.L., Fisher J.O., Grimm-Thomas K., Markey C.N., Sawyer R., Johnson S.L. Confirmatory factor analysis of the child feeding questionnaire: a measure of parental attitudes, beliefs and practices about child feeding and obesity proneness. Appetite 2001;36:201-10].Methods. Low-income parents of 101 Black and 130 Hispanic pre-school children (126 girls, 105 boys) completed a reduced version of the CFQ.Results. Confirmatory factor analyses using LISREL 8.51 supported the hypothesized factor structure but revealed cross-cultural conceptual problems on the perceived child weight factor and problematic items on the restriction factor that were addressed in a modified model. Invariance analyses demonstrated invariance of factor structure, loadings, and covariances in the modified model across ethnic groups. MANCOVA, that controlled for parent BMI and marital status, revealed ethnic differences on the child feeding responsibility, child weight concern, and perceived weight of child factors that were moderated by parent education and child BMI.Conclusions. Results supported the use of a modified version of the CFQ among Blacks and Hispanics and revealed no ethnic differences on factor scores, except on interactions with parent education and overweight status of child.
