This study assessed the relationships between parents' retrospective recollections of their mothers' child feeding practices (CFP), current disordered eating (DE) and current CFP (how they now feed their children). 174 Israeli parents (136 mothers, 38 fathers; 40.1 ± 6.9 years of age) of children between the ages of 2 and 18, living at home, completed questionnaires online assessing demographics, retrospective recollections of the CFP that their mothers used when they were children, current CFP and current DE. Specific aspects of retrospectively recalled maternal CFP were significantly associated with the same aspects of current CFP. Current DE mediated the association between retrospectively recalled maternal CFP and current CFP and moderated the association between current concern about child's weight and pressure for child to eat. Results highlight that the way adults pass on their feeding practices to their children is strongly influenced by their childhood recollections of their mothers' concern about their weight, pressure for them to eat or restriction of their food intake. People often strive to behave differently from their parents, especially in the realm of food and eating. However, our findings suggest that parental CFP can become entrenched and can be passed on to our children.
本研究评估了父母对其母亲养育实践（CFP）的回溯回忆、当前饮食失调（DE）和当前 CFP（他们现在如何喂养孩子）之间的关系。174 名以色列父母（136 名母亲，38 名父亲；年龄 40.1±6.9 岁）的孩子年龄在 2 至 18 岁之间，居住在自己家中，在线完成了评估人口统计学特征、父母对其儿时母亲 CFP 的回溯回忆、当前 CFP 和当前 DE 的问卷。回想母亲 CFP 的特定方面与当前 CFP 的相同方面显著相关。当前 DE 调节了回溯性回忆的母亲 CFP 与当前 CFP 之间的关联，并调节了当前对孩子体重的担忧与孩子进食压力之间的关联。研究结果表明，成年人将喂养实践传递给孩子的方式受到他们儿时对母亲关注自己体重、对自己进食的压力或限制自己食物摄入的回忆的强烈影响。人们通常努力与父母不同，尤其是在食物和饮食方面。然而，我们的研究结果表明，父母的 CFP 可能会根深蒂固，并传递给我们的孩子。
