This research examined the associations between parents' reports of the quality of their romantic relationships with their partner/spouse, their feeding interactions with their children, and their children's eating behaviours. One hundred and fifty-six married/cohabiting mothers of young children completed self-report measures of their romantic relationship quality, child feeding practices and children's eating behaviours. Reports of a less warm, more hostile romantic relationship were associated with children's less adaptive eating behaviours. More hostile relationship quality was also related to greater restriction of their children's food intake. The quality of parents' romantic relationships is associated with parental feeding practices and children's eating behaviours. Further work should examine the emotional tone of mealtimes in order to discover whether this may be the mechanism of the relationship.
本研究考察了父母对其与伴侣/配偶的浪漫关系质量的报告、他们与孩子的喂养互动以及孩子的饮食行为之间的关系。156 名有年幼子女的已婚/同居母亲完成了对其浪漫关系质量、儿童喂养行为和儿童饮食行为的自我报告评估。报告中浪漫关系较不温暖、更具敌意与儿童较不适应的饮食行为有关。更具敌意的关系质量也与对孩子食物摄入的限制更大有关。父母浪漫关系的质量与父母的喂养行为和孩子的饮食行为有关。进一步的研究应该检查用餐时的情绪基调,以发现这是否是这种关系的机制。
