Associations between parent and child attitudes and behaviors related to eating and weight were examined among college-age men and women and their mothers and fathers (ns = 44, 47, 87, and 66, respectively). Parent attitudes and behaviors were assessed from the perspective of the parent and the student, and 2 pathways of influence were examined: modeling and direct criticism. In general, students' attitudes and behaviors were more strongly related to perceptions of their parents rather than to parents' own self-reports. There was more support for perceived direct criticism as a pathway of influence, particularly for daughters. Perceived criticism about eating and appearance had large associations with student attitudes and behaviors. Weight loss behavior was related to perceived criticism among daughters and to perceived paternal eating attitudes among sons. Results highlight important methodological and conceptual questions for intergenerational research.
在大学年龄段的男性和女性及其父母（人数分别为44、47、87和66）中，研究了亲子之间与饮食和体重相关的态度和行为之间的关联。从父母和学生的角度评估了父母的态度和行为，并研究了两种影响途径：榜样作用和直接批评。总体而言，学生的态度和行为与他们对父母的看法的关联更强，而非与父母自己的自我报告。作为一种影响途径，更多的支持来自于感知到的直接批评，尤其是对女儿而言。对饮食和外表的感知批评与学生的态度和行为有很大关联。减肥行为与女儿感知到的批评以及儿子感知到的父亲的饮食态度有关。研究结果突出了代际研究中重要的方法学和概念性问题。
