本研究探讨了433个家庭对（N=866）的样本中的家庭沟通模式（会话和整合取向），健康特定的沟通变量，健康态度和健康行为之间的关联。正如预期的那样，多层次模型的结果显示，个人的健康态度与他们的自我报告的健康行为密切相关。研究结果还表明，感知确认从家庭成员在健康特定的谈话（a）直接影响健康态度，（B）部分占家庭谈话取向和健康态度之间的正相关关系，（c）部分占家庭整合取向和健康态度之间的负相关关系。同样地，健康沟通频率（a）直接影响健康态度，（B）部分解释了家庭谈话取向与健康态度之间的正相关关系，（c）与健康行为直接相关。行动者-伙伴相互依存模型（APIM）的结果支持了上述一个人自己的健康态度和健康行为之间的人内关联，以及年轻人的健康态度和他们有影响力的家庭成员的健康行为之间的正相关关系。这些研究结果的影响进行了讨论，因为它们涉及到理论和肥胖预防。
This study explored associations among family communication patterns (conversation and conformity orientations), health-specific communication variables, health attitudes, and health behaviors in a sample of 433 family dyads (N=866). As expected, results of multilevel models revealed that individuals' health attitudes were strongly associated with their self-reported health behaviors. Findings also suggested that perceived confirmation from a family member during health-specific conversations (a) directly influenced health attitudes, (b) partially accounted for the positive relationship between family conversation orientation and health attitudes, and (c) partially accounted for the inverse relationship between family conformity orientation and health attitudes. Similarly, frequency of health-specific communication (a) directly influenced health attitudes, (b) partially accounted for the positive relationship between family conversation orientation and health attitudes, and (c) directly associated with health behaviors. Results from an actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) supported the aforementioned within-person association between a person's own health attitudes and health behaviors, as well as a positive relationship between young adults' health attitudes and their influential family member's health behaviors. Implications of these findings are discussed as they relate to theory and obesity prevention.
