Suitable instruments for measuring Food Parenting Practices (FPP) among adolescents and their parents that also measure the perception of adolescents about their parent's FPP are rare. The current study describes the development and preliminary testing of a short 16-item Adolescent Food Parenting Questionnaire (AFPQ) for parents (AFPQ-p) and adolescents (AFPQ-a) that may enable future large-scale research on potentially eminent parent-child FPP discrepancy. Participants included 381 parents (73.8 % mothers; M 45.9, 26.2% fathers; M 49.1) and their adolescent children (aged 12-16) who participated in the Dutch "G(F)OOD together" study. Most parents finished higher professional education (mothers: 44.3 %; fathers: 34.4 %) and performed a paid job of 32 h per week or more (mothers: 22.1 %; fathers: 60.0 %). The theoretical framework of Vaughn (2016) was leading in the development of the AFPQ. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed on a random split sample of parent-adolescent dyads and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed on the other half. The EFA in both parent and adolescent samples resulted in a clear 5 factor solution explaining 61.6 % (AFPQ-p) and 64.2 % (AFPQ-a) of the variance respectively, representing the factors Autonomy Support (α = 0.79/.82), Coercive Control (α = 0.85/.83), Snack Structure (α = 0.79/75), Healthy Structure (α = 0.78/74) and Modelling (α = 0.69/85). CFA confirmed good model fit for the AFPQ-p and the AFPQ-a. Associations with adolescent self-reported food intake were in the expected direction, confirming the preliminary convergent validity of the instrument among a moderate to highly educated group of parent-adolescent dyads. Although the AFPQ provides a promising short instrument, future research in more diverse samples is needed to build evidence on the instrument's psychometric characteristics in other groups.
适用于测量青少年及其父母的饮食养育实践（FPP）的工具很少，而且这些工具还能测量青少年对父母 FPP 的看法。本研究描述了一种简短的 16 项青少年饮食养育问卷（AFPQ）的开发和初步测试，该问卷适用于父母（AFPQ-p）和青少年（AFPQ-a），这可能为未来关于潜在显著的亲子 FPP 差异的大规模研究提供便利。参与者包括 381 名父母（73.8%为母亲；M=45.9，26.2%为父亲；M=49.1）及其青少年子女（年龄在 12-16 岁之间），他们参加了荷兰“G(F)OOD together”研究。大多数父母完成了高等职业教育（母亲：44.3%；父亲：34.4%），并从事每周 32 小时或更多的有薪工作（母亲：22.1%；父亲：60.0%）。Vaughn（2016）的理论框架主导了 AFPQ 的开发。在父母-青少年对子的随机分割样本上进行了探索性因素分析（EFA），并在另一半样本上进行了验证性因素分析（CFA）。在父母和青少年样本中，EFA 都得出了一个清晰的 5 因素解决方案，分别解释了 61.6%（AFPQ-p）和 64.2%（AFPQ-a）的方差，代表了自主支持（α=0.79/0.82）、强制控制（α=0.85/0.83）、零食结构（α=0.79/75）、健康结构（α=0.78/74）和示范（α=0.69/85）的因素。CFA 证实了 AFPQ-p 和 AFPQ-a 的良好模型拟合。与青少年自我报告的食物摄入量的关联是预期的，这在一个中等到高度受教育的父母-青少年对子群体中证实了该工具的初步收敛效度。虽然 AFPQ 提供了一种很有前途的简短工具，但需要在更多样化的样本中进行进一步研究，以在其他群体中建立该工具心理测量特性的证据。
