Guided by self-determination theory, the aim of this study was to examine whether adolescents' autonomous motivation for making healthy diet choices mediates the association between parenting practices regarding diet and adolescent food choices. We analyzed data from the NCI FLASHE study, a survey of demographically diverse parents and their adolescent children (N = 1,646 dyads). Path models supported self-determination theory's assertion that indirect, encouraging parenting practices fostered internal motivation; in contrast, regulation was both positively and negatively linked to motivation depending on the model. Models also yielded direct paths between parenting practices and healthy and unhealthy diet choices. Overall, regardless of what predicted motivation, adolescents' autonomous motivation was linked with their consumption of healthier foods and drinks. As such, cultivating a sense of internal motivation during these formative years may put young people on a path toward healthy patterns of self-regulation later in life.
在自我决定理论的指导下，本研究旨在探讨青少年做出健康饮食选择的自主动机是否介导了饮食方面的养育方式与青少年食物选择之间的关联。我们分析了来自美国国立癌症研究所FLASH研究的数据，该研究对人口统计学特征多样的父母及其青春期子女（N = 1646对）进行了调查。路径模型支持自我决定理论的观点，即间接的、鼓励性的养育方式能促进内在动机；相比之下，根据模型的不同，控制与动机既存在正相关也存在负相关。模型还得出了养育方式与健康和不健康饮食选择之间的直接路径。总体而言，无论是什么预测了动机，青少年的自主动机都与他们对更健康的食物和饮料的消费有关。因此，在这些成长阶段培养内在动机意识可能会让年轻人在以后的生活中走上健康的自我调节之路
