The Child Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ) is a widely used measure of parental feeding practices, comprising seven factors that measure aspects of parental control over feeding and beliefs about children's obesity proneness. Parents in South Australia (N=203) completed the CFQ at their 4- or 5-year-old child's preschool health visits in May and June 2006. This study examined the factor structure and psychometric properties of the questionnaire. Initially, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to examine the factor structure of the CFQ. Using EFA an additional factor could be extracted, comprising 2 items from the Restriction subscale regarding parents' use of food to reward behaviour. Several modified seven factor models of the CFQ, specified in previous research, were examined using confirmatory factor analysis and compared with an eight factor model. An eight factor model specifying an additional factor, food as reward, provided the best fit to the data, however, until replicated and validated, a seven factor model excluding the reward items is recommended for general use. The findings suggest that further work is required in the conceptualization of the Restriction subscale.
儿童喂养问卷（CFQ）是一种广泛用于衡量父母喂养行为的工具，它包含七个因素，用于测量父母在喂养方面的控制程度以及对孩子肥胖倾向的看法。南澳大利亚州的203名家长于2006年5月和6月在其4岁或5岁孩子的学前健康检查时完成了CFQ问卷。本研究对该问卷的因素结构和心理测量特性进行了考察。最初，采用探索性因素分析（EFA）来检验CFQ的因素结构。通过EFA可提取出一个额外的因素，该因素由限制分量表中关于父母用食物奖励行为的2个项目组成。使用验证性因素分析对先前研究中指定的几个修改后的CFQ七因素模型进行了检验，并与八因素模型进行了比较。一个指定了额外因素“食物作为奖励”的八因素模型与数据拟合最佳，然而，在得到重复验证之前，建议普遍使用排除奖励项目的七因素模型。研究结果表明，在限制分量表的概念化方面还需要进一步开展工作。
