To assess relationships between mothers' feeding practices (food as a reward, food for emotion regulation, modelling of healthy eating) and mothers' willingness to purchase child-marketed foods and fruits/vegetables (F&V) requested by their children during grocery co-shopping.
Cross-sectional. Mothers completed an online survey that included questions about feeding practices and willingness (i.e. intentions) to purchase child-requested foods during grocery co-shopping. Feeding practices scores were dichotomized at the median. Foods were grouped as nutrient-poor or nutrient-dense (F&V) based on national nutrition guidelines. Regression models compared mothers with above-the-median v. at-or-below-the-median feeding practices scores on their willingness to purchase child-requested food groupings, adjusting for demographic covariates.
Participants completed an online survey generated at a public university in the USA.
Mothers (n 318) of 2- to 7-year-old children.
Mothers who scored above-the-median on using food as a reward were more willing to purchase nutrient-poor foods (β=0·60, P<0·0001), mothers who scored above-the-median on use of food for emotion regulation were more willing to purchase nutrient-poor foods (β=0·29, P<0·0031) and mothers who scored above-the-median on modelling of healthy eating were more willing to purchase nutrient-dense foods (β=0·22, P<0·001) than were mothers with at-or-below-the-median scores, adjusting for demographic covariates.
Mothers who reported using food to control children's behaviour were more willing to purchase child-requested, nutrient-poor foods. Parental feeding practices may facilitate or limit children's foods requested in grocery stores. Parent-child food consumer behaviours should be investigated as a route that may contribute to children's eating patterns.
评估母亲的喂养行为（食物作为奖励、食物用于情绪调节、健康饮食示范）与母亲在与孩子一起购物时购买孩子要求的商业化食品和水果/蔬菜（F&V）的意愿之间的关系。
横断面研究。母亲完成了一项在线调查，其中包括关于喂养行为和在与孩子一起购物时购买孩子要求的食物的意愿（即意图）的问题。喂养行为评分以中位数为界进行二分法。根据国家营养指南，将食物分为营养差或营养丰富（F&V）。回归模型比较了喂养行为评分高于中位数与等于或低于中位数的母亲在购买孩子要求的食物分组方面的意愿，调整了人口统计学协变量。
参与者在美国一所公立大学生成的在线调查中完成了调查。
2 至 7 岁儿童的母亲（n 318）。
在使用食物作为奖励方面得分高于中位数的母亲更愿意购买营养差的食物（β=0·60，P<0·0001），在使用食物进行情绪调节方面得分高于中位数的母亲更愿意购买营养差的食物（β=0·29，P<0·0031），在健康饮食示范方面得分高于中位数的母亲更愿意购买营养丰富的食物（β=0·22，P<0·001），而得分等于或低于中位数的母亲则更愿意购买营养丰富的食物，调整了人口统计学协变量。
报告使用食物控制孩子行为的母亲更愿意购买孩子要求的、营养差的食物。父母的喂养行为可能促进或限制孩子在杂货店要求的食物。应调查父母-子女食品消费行为，因为它可能是导致儿童饮食模式的一个途径。
