Research concerning child feeding practices has focused on children and adolescents, and little is known about how feeding practices used in childhood relate to eating behaviors and weight status in early adulthood. We assessed college students' and their parents' retrospective reports of child feeding practices used when the students were in middle childhood. We also assessed the college students' current reports of their eating behaviors using the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) and the Intuitive Eating Scale (IES), and measured their current BMI. Results showed that college students' and their parents' reports about previous parental use of child feeding practices were not correlated. Parent reports of their own use of child feeding practices were more related to students' eating behaviors and BMI than were students' recollections about feeding practices used by their parents. An analysis of gender effects showed that there were positive correlations between parental child feeding practices, BMI, and emotional eating for female students. These relationships did not exist for male students. The results suggest that child feeding practices recollected by parents are linked to the development of emotional eating and weight status of women in early adulthood.
有关儿童喂养行为的研究主要集中在儿童和青少年身上，对于儿童时期使用的喂养行为如何与成年早期的饮食行为和体重状况相关知之甚少。我们评估了大学生及其父母对大学生处于童年中期时所采用的儿童喂养行为的回顾性报告。我们还使用荷兰饮食行为问卷（DEBQ）和直觉饮食量表（IES）评估了大学生当前的饮食行为，并测量了他们当前的 BMI。结果表明，大学生及其父母对以前父母使用儿童喂养行为的报告没有相关性。父母对自己使用儿童喂养行为的报告与学生的饮食行为和 BMI 更相关，而不是学生对父母使用的喂养行为的回忆。对性别效应的分析表明，对于女学生，父母的儿童喂养行为、BMI 和情绪性进食之间存在正相关。对于男学生，这些关系并不存在。研究结果表明，父母回忆的儿童喂养行为与女性在成年早期的情绪性进食和体重状况的发展有关。
