父母对孩子使用的喂养策略塑造了孩子对食物的态度和行为。本研究调查了母亲和孩子的性格特征是否与母亲对孩子使用的喂养策略类型有关。本研究还检验了这些特征是否与儿童的体重指数（BMI）相关。母亲 (N=2928) 报告了她们对目标孩子使用三种喂养策略（限制、强迫进食、监控）的频率以及她们的个性和孩子的个性。母亲和孩子的责任心与较少使用限制和压力进食以及更多使用监控显着相关。儿童的开放性和宜人性同样与较少使用限制和压力进食有关。母亲和孩子的责任心与儿童肥胖相关：肥胖儿童的责任心得分较低，而母亲在该特征上得分也较低；饮食限制和压力部分介导了母亲尽责性和儿童体重指数之间的关联。目前的研究结果表明，母亲和孩子性格的个体差异与儿童时期三种常见喂养策略的使用以及孩子的体重有关。
The feeding strategies that parents use with their children shape their children's attitudes and behaviors toward food. The present research examined whether personality traits of the mother and the child are associated with the types of feeding strategies mothers use with their children. The present research also examined whether these characteristics are associated with the child's body mass index (BMI). Mothers (N= 2928) reported how often they used three feeding strategies (Restriction, Pressure to Eat, Monitoring) with the target child and their personality and the personality of the child. Both mother and child Conscientiousness were associated significantly with less use of Restriction and Pressure to Eat and more use of Monitoring. Child Openness and Agreeableness were likewise related to less use of Restriction and Pressure to Eat. Mother and child Conscientiousness were associated with child obesity: Children with obesity scored lower in Conscientiousness and also had mothers who scored lower on this trait; Restriction and Pressure to Eat partially mediated the association between mother Conscientiousness and child BMI. The present findings suggest that individual differences in both mother and child personality are associated with the use of three common feeding strategies in childhood and the child's weight.
