It remains unclear if there is a difference between parental physical activity (PA) support in parents of children with developmental disabilities (DDs) and parental PA support in parents of children without DDs across countries.
The purposes of the current study were to examine parental PA support in parents of children with and without DDs from the United States and South Korea and to examine their parental PA support mechanism based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB).
An online survey was used to measure demographic information, parental PA support, and four constructs of TPB in parents with and without DDs in the two countries (n = 277). One-way analysis of variance was used to compare parental PA support and the TPB constructs among the participants. Two separate path analyses were performed to examine associations between the TPB constructs and parental PA support in American parents of children with and without disabilities and South Korean parents of children with and without disabilities.
Parental PA support was significantly higher in American parents of children with DDs than in South Korean parents of children with DDs. Intention was significantly associated with parental PA support, and attitude was the strongest predictor for intention in both pathway models.
The difference in parental PA support between American parents of children with DDs and South Korean parents of children with DDs may exist. TPB-based intervention may be necessary in order to increase low parental PA support in South Korean parents of children with DDs.
目前尚不清楚，在有和没有发育障碍（DD）儿童的父母之间，父母对孩子的身体活动（PA）支持是否存在差异。
本研究旨在从美国和韩国两国的角度，检验有和没有 DD 儿童的父母对孩子的 PA 支持，并基于计划行为理论（TPB），检验他们的 PA 支持机制。
本研究采用在线调查的方式，对两国有和没有 DD 儿童的父母的人口统计学信息、父母对孩子的 PA 支持以及 TPB 的四个构念进行了测量（n=277）。采用单因素方差分析比较了参与者的 PA 支持和 TPB 构念。对美国有和没有残疾儿童的父母以及韩国有和没有残疾儿童的父母进行了两项独立的路径分析，以检验 TPB 构念与父母 PA 支持之间的关联。
有 DD 儿童的美国父母的 PA 支持显著高于有 DD 儿童的韩国父母。意向与父母 PA 支持显著相关，在两个路径模型中，态度都是意向的最强预测因素。
有 DD 儿童的美国父母和有 DD 儿童的韩国父母之间的 PA 支持可能存在差异。为了提高韩国有 DD 儿童的父母的低 PA 支持，可能需要基于 TPB 的干预。
