这项研究调查了幼儿的饮食行为和气质之间的联系。3-8岁儿童的母亲（N = 241）完成了他们的孩子的饮食行为和气质的措施，并报告了他们的孩子的身高和体重。据报道，情绪化程度较高的儿童会表现出更多的回避食物的饮食行为。害羞，社交和活动与儿童的饮食行为无关。儿童体重指数越高，其进食行为越接近食物，但体重指数与儿童气质无关。未来的研究应该更具体地探讨情绪气质如何影响儿童的饮食行为。(C)2011爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
This study examined the associations between eating behaviours and temperament in a sample of young children. Mothers (N = 241) of children aged 3-8 years completed measures of their children's eating behaviours and temperament and reported their child's height and weight. Children with more emotional temperaments were reported to display more food avoidant eating behaviours. Shyness, sociability and activity were not related to children's eating behaviours. Higher child BMI was related to more food approach eating behaviours but BMI was unrelated to child temperament. Future research should explore more specifically how emotional temperaments might influence child eating behaviour. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
