Mealtime observations were conducted and occurrences of appropriate and inappropriate mealtime behavior and various forms of parental attention (e.g., coaxing, reprimands) were recorded for 25 children admitted to an intensive feeding program and their parents. Using the data from the observations, lag sequential analyses were conducted to identify changes in the probability of child appropriate and inappropriate mealtime behavior before and after various forms of parental attention. A combination of univariate and repeated measures ANOVAs using frequency of child behavior were also conducted to corroborate conclusions drawn from the visual analysis of individual participant data. Results showed that parental attention was frequently followed by temporary decreases in inappropriate mealtime behavior and increases in bite acceptance. Moreover, various forms of parental attention resulted in statistically significant changes in child behavior, which supports the clinical utility of these data.
对 25 名接受强化喂养计划的儿童及其家长进行了用餐观察，并记录了适当和不适当的用餐行为以及各种形式的家长关注（例如哄劝、斥责）的发生情况。使用观察数据，进行了滞后序列分析，以确定在各种形式的家长关注前后，儿童适当和不适当的用餐行为的概率变化。还使用儿童行为的频率进行了单变量和重复测量方差分析，以证实从个别参与者数据的视觉分析中得出的结论。结果表明，家长关注后，不适当的用餐行为会暂时减少，而咬接受度会增加。此外，各种形式的家长关注会导致儿童行为发生统计学上显著的变化，这支持了这些数据的临床实用性。
