饮食的自我调节越来越成为一个感兴趣的领域，特别是在儿童肥胖和发展文献和预防方面。本研究旨在探讨母亲和父亲的过度限制性喂养行为对儿童饮食自我调节的影响。一个温和的多元回归模型进行测试的调节作用的性别之间的关系明显限制喂养的做法和自我调节。一个简单的斜率分析，然后用来探讨之间的交互作用项的明显限制喂养和性别。适度分析的结果表明，父母的性别是一个显着的影响因素之间的关系，公开限制喂养和儿童的自我调节饮食。在探讨相互作用时，简单斜率是负的，当性别是女性时，这意味着与男性相比，女性使用明显的限制会对儿童在饮食方面的自我调节能力产生负面影响。喂养研究通常将仅母亲样本的结果推广到所有父母，但这些结果提供了反对这样做的证据。
Self-regulation in eating is increasingly becoming an area of interest especially in child obesity and development literature and prevention. This study aims to examine differences in the impact of overtly restrictive feeding practices across mothers and fathers on child's self-regulation in eating. A moderated multiple regression model was run to test the moderating effect of gender on the relationship between overtly restrictive feeding practices and self-regulation. A simple slope analysis was then used to probe the interaction term between overt restriction in feeding and gender. Results from a moderation analysis indicate parental gender to be a significant factor affecting the relationship between overtly restrictive feeding and a child's self-regulation in eating. On probing the interaction, the simple slope was negative and significant when gender was female meaning that women's use of overt restriction negatively impacts children's ability to self-regulate in eating compared to men. Feeding studies often generalize findings from mother-only samples to all parents but these results provide evidence against doing so.
