OBJECTIVE
To assess longitudinally the relations between four parenting styles (authoritative, authoritarian, uninvolved, and indulgent) and child weight status in Mexican American families.
METHODS
Sixty-nine low-income Mexican American mothers and their 4- to 8-year-old children participated in a 4-year longitudinal study. Mothers completed demographic and parenting measures. Children's body weight and height were assessed annually. Body mass index was calculated to determine weight status.
RESULTS
At baseline, 65% of children were found to be normal weight, 14% were overweight, and 21% were obese. Analyses examined how parenting styles at baseline predicted child's weight status 3 years later, controlling for initial weight status. Children of indulgent mothers were more likely to become overweight 3 years later than children of authoritative or authoritarian mothers.
CONCLUSIONS
This study provides longitudinal evidence for the role of indulgent parenting in predicting overweight in Mexican American children. Possible mediating factors that may account for this relationship (e.g., dietary patterns, physical activity patterns, and children's self-regulation) are considered.
目的
纵向评估四种养育方式（权威型、专制型、放任型和溺爱型）与墨西哥裔美国家庭中儿童体重状况之间的关系。
方法
69 名低收入墨西哥裔美国母亲及其 4 至 8 岁的孩子参加了一项为期 4 年的纵向研究。母亲完成了人口统计学和养育方式的测量。每年评估儿童的体重和身高。计算体重指数以确定体重状况。
结果
基线时，65%的儿童体重正常，14%超重，21%肥胖。分析考察了基线时的养育方式如何预测 3 年后儿童的体重状况，同时控制初始体重状况。放任型母亲的孩子比权威型或专制型母亲的孩子更有可能在 3 年后超重。
结论
本研究为放任型养育方式在预测墨西哥裔美国儿童超重方面的作用提供了纵向证据。考虑了可能解释这种关系的中介因素（例如，饮食模式、身体活动模式和儿童的自我调节）。
