Parents play an influential role on their child’s eating and physical activity. How maternal personality and individual differences, such as motivation and self-regulation, are associated with their weight-related parenting has yet to be studied. The current study examined relationships of mothers’ motivational and self-regulatory characteristics with weight-related parenting practices. Mothers (N = 149, MAge = 42.78 years, 49% Hispanic/Latino) of school-aged children (ages 10-14 years, 55.7% female) completed questionnaires assessing behavioral inhibition system/behavioral activation system (BIS/BAS), self-control, and weight-related parenting practices (i.e., role modeling, food restriction, rule enforcement, limiting, discipline, pressure to eat). Structural equation modeling examined associations of BIS, BAS, and self-control with parenting practices. Among mothers, higher avoidance motivation was associated with difficulty with rule enforcement. Higher approach motivation was associated with less limiting of unhealthy food and sedentary behavior. Higher self-control predicted more role modeling and less difficulty with rule enforcement. Findings support associations of maternal motivational and self-regulatory processes with weight-related parenting behaviors. Results may inform tailored strategies based on individual differences for family-based interventions for parenting. Higher maternal avoidance motivation was associated with rule enforcement for eating and sedentary behaviors for children. Higher maternal approach motivation was associated with less limiting of children’s eating and sedentary behavior. Higher maternal self-control was associated with more role modeling for healthy eating and physical activity. Higher maternal self-control was negatively associated with rule enforcement for eating and sedentary behaviors for children. Results may inform tailored strategies based on individual differences for family-based interventions for .
