The purpose of this investigation was to examine the extent to which the maternal-facilitated, social cognitive theory constructs of environment, emotional coping, expectations, self-control, and self-efficacy predicted child fruit and vegetable consumption and sugar-free beverage intake. Instrumentation comprised three stages of data collection and analysis. Stage 1 included item generation, face and content validity by a panel of six experts, and readability by Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level tests. Stage 2 assessed stability of the theoretical constructs using the test-retest procedure with 30 participants. Structural equation modeling was used during Stage 3 to conduct confirmatory factor analysis and to establish predictive validity of the models. A total of 224 respondents participated in this study. Maternal-facilitated home environment and self-efficacy were significant predictors of child fruit and vegetable consumption while maternal-mediated home environment and emotional coping were significant predictors of child sugar-free beverage intake.
本调查的目的是检验由母亲促成的社会认知理论中环境、情绪应对、期望、自我控制和自我效能等构念对儿童水果和蔬菜摄入量以及无糖饮料摄入量的预测程度。研究方法包括三个数据收集和分析阶段。第一阶段包括项目生成、由六位专家组成的小组进行的表面效度和内容效度评估，以及通过弗莱什易读性测试和弗莱什-金凯德年级水平测试评估可读性。第二阶段使用重测程序对30名参与者进行测试，以评估理论构念的稳定性。第三阶段使用结构方程模型进行验证性因素分析并建立模型的预测效度。共有224名受访者参与了本研究。由母亲促成的家庭环境和自我效能是儿童水果和蔬菜摄入量的重要预测因素，而母亲介导的家庭环境和情绪应对则是儿童无糖饮料摄入量的重要预测因素。
