Eating habits are established early and are difficult to change once formed. This study investigated the role of caregiver-child attachment quality and its associations with high-caloric food consumption in a sample of middle socio-economic status children and adults, respectively. Survey data were collected from an online questionnaire administered separately to 213 (143 girls) children and 216 parents (adult sample; 180 women). Two studies showed that an insecure parental attachment, whether actual (Study 1; children) or recalled (Study 2; adults), significantly and positively predicted high-caloric food consumption in both samples. The present findings highlight the importance of parental attachment and its association with unhealthy eating patterns in children and adults.
饮食习惯在早期就已形成，一旦形成便难以改变。本研究分别调查了中等社会经济地位的儿童和成人样本中，照顾者与儿童的依恋质量的作用及其与高热量食物消费的关联。通过在线问卷分别收集了213名儿童（143名女孩）和216名家长（成人样本；180名女性）的调查数据。两项研究表明，不安全的亲子依恋，无论是实际存在的（研究1；儿童）还是回忆起来的（研究2；成人），在两个样本中均能显著且正向预测高热量食物的消费。目前的研究结果凸显了亲子依恋的重要性及其与儿童和成人不健康饮食模式的关联。
