Children's eating attitudes and behaviour: a study of the modelling and control theories of parental influence.

In this study, we focused on snack foods and compared the modeling of control and the modeling of the influence of parents on the attitudes and behaviors of children 's diet. 112 parents / children completed a matching questionnaire describing the reported snack intake, dietary motivation and physical complaints. Parents managed their children's food intake and completed other management related projects trying to use food as a tool to manage their behavior. The results show a significant correlation between reported snack intake, dietary motivation and physical discontent reported by parents and children, indicating that this model plays an important role. Next, divide parents according to control score. Parents said that children who manage their children 's diet reported a high intake of healthy and unhealthy snacks. In addition, children who expressed increasing use of food as a means of controlling children's behavior reported higher physical discontent. This result supports the modeling and control theory of parent influence. However, modeling seems to have a consistent impact, but parental restrictions vary depending on parental restrictions placed on child diet or other behavioral aspects. In short, an aggressive parent role model may be a better way to improve a child's diet than a dietary restriction attempt.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how parents affected their dietary attitudes and feeding behaviors, and examined modeling, control, and control theory of influence of parents. However, there are some problems that need to be addressed in this survey. First of all, many children do not agree to participate in this study. Some parents might not have been informed about the exam because they did not receive consent form and had to agree to choose to participate in the exam rather than opt out. Therefore, without consent, it may reflect children's forgetfulness rather than to dietary behavior research. However, others who are not, may also differ from people who are interested in diet and food intake. Since dietary restrictions and consent may be relevant in every direction, it is impossible to estimate the impact this will have on the outcome. However, there is a problem with all food intake.

Diet attitudes and behaviors of children: modeling influence of parents and studying control theory

In short, the diet of children is often poor, and research has solved this problem. Several studies have focused on modeling and point out that children can imitate the feeding behavior of their parents and their attitudes and physical dissatisfaction related to their diet. In other studies, the role of management is emphasized, many parents manage their intake of children and use food to manage their behavior, but this is not necessarily the expected positive effect Not exclusively. However, these two theories are mainly solved independently of each other. In agreement with this, this research was aimed at investigating the relationship between attitudes and behaviors of parents and children's meal, evaluating and comparing modeling of parental influences and control theory. Many previous studies have focused on staple foods such as bread, pasta, vegetables, and have studied diet therapies for children in major food groups.
