Children's Eating Attitudes and Behaviour: A Study of the Modelling and Control Theories of Parental Influence

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 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. The results provide some support for parental influence modeling and control theory
