女性在男性的饮食健康方面发挥着关键作用，但男性如何看待妻子对他们饮食行为的影响的性质和机制尚不清楚。这项研究调查了非洲裔美国男性如何描述他们的妻子在塑造他们的饮食行为中所扮演的角色。主题内容分析被用来分析数据，从9个探索性焦点小组进行了方便的样本83名非洲裔美国男子谁是中年或老年人，住在密歇根州东南部。与在家相比，男性认为在外面吃饭时有更多的自由选择吃什么，即使是在妻子的陪同下。这些男性表示，他们的妻子对他们在家吃什么的影响比他们自己的喜好更大。他们描述了家庭中传统的性别食物角色，并对妻子在家庭食物准备和决策中发挥主导作用感到满意。对于妻子努力准备健康的食物，男人们的感觉很复杂。虽然他们很感激妻子关心他们的健康，但男人们觉得很少有人征求他们的意见，让他们知道如何让饮食更健康，而且他们经常不喜欢妻子做出的健康改变。男性优先考虑让妻子开心、保持配偶角色分工和维持婚姻和谐，而不是参与食物决策或表达个人食物偏好。因此，干预措施，以改善已婚非洲裔美国人的饮食行为需要明确考虑，男性可能会优先考虑婚姻和谐和维护配偶的食物角色超过他们的口味，偏好，和所需的食物决策的作用。
Women play a critical role in men's dietary health, but how men think about the nature and mechanisms of their wives’ influence on their eating behavior is not well understood. This study examined how African American men described the roles their wives played in shaping their eating behavior. Thematic content analysis was used to analyze data from nine exploratory focus groups conducted with a convenience sample of 83 African American men who were middle aged or older and lived in southeast Michigan. Men perceived having more freedom to choose what they ate when eating out, even accompanied by their wives, compared to at home. The men indicated their wives influenced what they ate at home more than their own preferences. They described traditional gendered food roles at home and were satisfied that their wives played a dominant role in household food preparation and decision making. Men had mixed feelings about wives’ efforts to prepare healthier meals. While they appreciated that their wives cared about their health, the men felt they were rarely consulted on how meals could be healthier and often disliked the healthy changes their wives made. The men prioritized keeping their wives happy, preserving spousal division of roles, and maintaining marital harmony over participating in food decision making or expressing their personal food preferences. Thus, interventions to improve married African American men's eating behaviors need to explicitly consider that men may prioritize marital harmony and preserving spousal food roles over their tastes, preferences, and desired food decision-making roles.
