Parenting is an often-studied correlate of children's physical activity, however there is little research examining the associations between parenting styles, practices and the physical activity of younger children.
This study aimed to investigate whether physical activity-based parenting practices mediate the association between parenting styles and 5-6 year-old children's objectively-assessed physical activity.
770 parents self-reported parenting style (nurturance and control) and physical activity-based parenting practices (logistic and modeling support). Their 5-6 year old child wore an accelerometer for five days to measure moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Linear regression was used to examine direct and indirect (mediation) associations. Data were collected in the United Kingdom in 2012/13 and analyzed in 2014.
Parent nurturance was positively associated with provision of modeling (adjusted unstandardized coefficient, β = 0.11; 95% CI = 0.02, 0.21) and logistic support (β = 0.14; 0.07, 0.21). Modeling support was associated with greater child MVPA (β = 2.41; 0.23, 4.60) and a small indirect path from parent nurturance to child's MVPA was identified (β = 0.27; 0.04, 0.70).
Physical activity-based parenting practices are more strongly associated with 5-6 year old children's MVPA than parenting styles. Further research examining conceptual models of parenting is needed to understand in more depth the possible antecedents to adaptive parenting practices beyond parenting styles.
育儿方式是儿童身体活动方面经常被研究的一个相关因素,然而,很少有研究探讨育儿风格、育儿行为与年幼儿童身体活动之间的关联。
本研究旨在调查基于身体活动的育儿行为是否在育儿风格与5至6岁儿童客观评估的身体活动之间起中介作用。
770名家长自我报告了育儿风格(关爱和控制)以及基于身体活动的育儿行为(逻辑支持和榜样支持)。他们5至6岁的孩子佩戴加速度计五天,以测量中度至剧烈身体活动(MVPA)。采用线性回归来检验直接和间接(中介)关联。数据于2012/13年在英国收集,并于2014年进行分析。
家长关爱与榜样支持(调整后的非标准化系数,β = 0.11;95%置信区间 = 0.02,0.21)和逻辑支持(β = 0.14;0.07,0.21)呈正相关。榜样支持与儿童更高的MVPA相关(β = 2.41;0.23,4.60),并且确定了一条从家长关爱到儿童MVPA的小间接路径(β = 0.27;0.04,0.70)。
基于身体活动得育儿行为比育儿风格与5至6岁儿童的MVPA关联更强。需要进一步研究育儿的概念模型,以更深入地了解除育儿风格之外适应性育儿行为的可能前因。
