This study aimed to compare maternal and paternal feeding practices with male and female children and examine the influence of the gender of both the parent and child on the relationship between parental unhealthy eating attitudes and controlling feeding practices. One hundred and eighty-eight participants (94 co-habiting mother-father dyads, mean age 36.4 years, SD=4.9), who were the parents of 46 male and 48 female children (mean age 37.7 months, SD=12.7) completed measures of unhealthy eating attitudes and feeding practices. Mothers and fathers differed significantly in their reports of unhealthy eating attitudes but not in their restrictive or pressurising feeding practices. Mothers reported greater perceived feeding responsibility and greater monitoring of their children's food intake than fathers. Bulimia scores were correlated with controlling feeding practices in mothers of girls but not boys. Fathers' body dissatisfaction was correlated with monitoring of sons' but not daughters' food intake. These findings suggest that parental extrapolation of weight concerns may be more likely to occur within mother-daughter and father-son relationships.
本研究旨在比较父母对男孩和女孩的喂养方式，并考察父母性别和孩子性别对父母不健康饮食态度与控制型喂养方式之间关系的影响。188名参与者（94对同居父母，平均年龄36.4岁，标准差=4.9），他们是46名男孩和48名女孩（平均年龄37.7个月，标准差=12.7）的父母，完成了不健康饮食态度和喂养方式的测量。母亲和父亲在不健康饮食态度的报告上有显著差异，但在限制或强迫性喂养方式上没有差异。母亲报告的喂养责任感更强，对孩子食物摄入量的监测也比父亲更多。暴食得分与女孩母亲而非男孩母亲的控制型喂养方式相关。父亲对身体的不满与对儿子而非女儿食物摄入量的监测相关。这些发现表明，父母对体重问题的推断更可能发生在母女和父子关系中。
