Self-regulation in eating is increasingly becoming an area of interest especially in child obesity and development literature and prevention. This study aims to examine differences in the impact of overtly restrictive feeding practices across mothers and fathers on child's self-regulation in eating. A moderated multiple regression model was run to test the moderating effect of gender on the relationship between overtly restrictive feeding practices and self-regulation. A simple slope analysis was then used to probe the interaction term between overt restriction in feeding and gender. Results from a moderation analysis indicate parental gender to be a significant factor affecting the relationship between overtly restrictive feeding and a child's self-regulation in eating. On probing the interaction, the simple slope was negative and significant when gender was female meaning that women's use of overt restriction negatively impacts children's ability to self-regulate in eating compared to men. Feeding studies often generalize findings from mother-only samples to all parents but these results provide evidence against doing so.
饮食自我调节越来越成为一个研究热点，尤其是在儿童肥胖和发展文献以及预防领域。本研究旨在检验母亲和父亲在公开限制喂养实践方面对儿童饮食自我调节的影响的差异。采用了调节多元回归模型来检验性别对公开限制喂养实践与自我调节之间关系的调节作用。然后使用简单斜率分析来探测喂养公开限制和性别之间的交互项。调节分析的结果表明，父母的性别是影响公开限制喂养与儿童饮食自我调节关系的一个重要因素。在探测交互作用时，当性别为女性时，简单斜率为负且显著，这意味着与男性相比，女性使用公开限制会对儿童的饮食自我调节能力产生负面影响。喂养研究通常将仅来自母亲样本的发现推广到所有父母，但这些结果表明不应这样做。
