有人提出,父母的喂养行为与孩子的饮食行为有关。本研究的目的是编制儿童进餐喂养行为问卷(CMFBQ),以评估母亲应对孩子进餐挑食所采用的策略。参与者是日本东京和福井的幼儿园和托儿所中834名3 - 6岁儿童的母亲,她们完成了自填式问卷。对从这些参与者获得的数据进行探索性和验证性因素分析,得出了一个包含18个项目的量表,有4个分量表:“行为策略”、“消极强制”、“惩罚与奖励”以及“许可”。这些分量表的内部一致性(克朗巴赫系数α)在0.65到0.82之间。母亲的惩罚与奖励以及母亲的许可与孩子的挑食呈正相关;然而,其他行为策略,包括消极强制,与孩子的挑食没有显著相关性。CMFBQ能够评估母亲鼓励孩子进餐所采用的策略。研究人员和健康从业者可以使用这一测量工具更好地了解母亲如何激励孩子进餐,并在不给受访者造成过度负担的情况下考虑这些做法对孩子饮食行为的影响。
It has been suggested that parents' feeding behaviors are associated with the eating behaviors of their children. The objective of this study was to develop the Child Mealtime Feeding Behavior Questionnaire (CMFBQ) to assess the strategies used by mothers in response to picky eating by their children at meals. The participants, 834 mothers of 3- to 6-year-old children attending kindergartens and nursery schools in Tokyo and Fukui, Japan, completed the self-administered questionnaires. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of data obtained from these participants produced an 18-item scale with 4 subscales: "behavioral strategy", "passive coercion", "punishment and reward", and "permission". The internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) of these subscales ranged from .65 to .82. Maternal punishment and reward and maternal permission were positively associated with children's picky eating; however, other behavioral strategies, including passive coercion, were not significantly related to children's picky eating. The CMFBQ can assess the strategies used by mothers to encourage their children to eat meals. Researchers and health practitioners can use this measure to better understand how mothers motivate their children to eat meals and to consider the implications of these practices for children's eating behaviors without placing an undue burden on respondents.
