Picture books with characters that promote healthy eating are increasingly being used to make this behavior more attractive. The first aim of this study was to investigate whether the effect of vegetable-promoting picture books on toddlers' vegetable consumption differed according to the reading style and the use of a hand puppet during reading. The second aim was to investigate whether these effects were mediated by toddlers' narrative involvement and character imitation. In a 2 (reading style: interactive vs. passive) x 2 (puppet use: with vs. without puppet) between-subjects design, 163 toddlers (2-3 years) were randomly assigned to one of the four reading conditions. The story was about a rabbit that loves to eat carrots. After the fourth reading day, the eating task was conducted in which children could eat freely from four different snacks, including carrots. The main finding was that interactive reading produced the greatest carrot consumption. The explanation for this effect was that interactive reading stimulated toddlers to imitate poses of the book characters, even more when interactive reading was supported by the use of a hand puppet. The findings underline that young children should be actively involved with health interventions in order for them to be effective.
带有促进健康饮食角色的图画书越来越多地被用于让这种行为更具吸引力。本研究的首要目的是调查，根据阅读方式以及阅读过程中是否使用手偶，促进蔬菜食用的图画书对幼儿蔬菜摄入量的影响是否存在差异。第二个目的是调查这些影响是否通过幼儿的叙事参与和角色模仿来介导。在一项2（阅读方式：互动式与被动式）×2（手偶使用：使用手偶与不使用手偶）的组间设计中，163名幼儿（2至3岁）被随机分配到四种阅读条件之一。故事是关于一只爱吃胡萝卜的兔子。在第四个阅读日之后，进行了进食任务，孩子们可以从包括胡萝卜在内的四种不同零食中自由进食。主要发现是互动式阅读带来了最大的胡萝卜摄入量。对此效果的解释是，互动式阅读刺激幼儿模仿书中角色的姿势，在使用手偶辅助互动式阅读时更是如此。研究结果强调，幼儿应该积极参与健康干预措施，这样这些措施才能有效。
