This study surveyed 185 parents to determine whether their perceived risk of their child developing obesity and their implicit theories about the malleability of weight independently and/or interactively predict their child-feeding and pursuit of child-related obesity risk information. Higher risk perceptions were associated with healthier feeding intentions and more information seeking. More incremental (malleable) beliefs predicted healthier feeding intentions and greater pursuit of environmental, but not genetic, information. Contrary to hypotheses, the influence of implicit theories and risk perceptions were primarily independent; however, more incremental beliefs predicted less "junk food" feeding among only parents with lower perceived risk.
本研究调查了 185 位家长,以确定他们对孩子肥胖风险的感知,以及他们对体重可塑的内隐理论是否独立地和(或)交互地预测他们的育儿方式以及对与孩子肥胖相关风险信息的追求。更高的风险感知与更健康的喂养意图和更多的信息寻求有关。更渐进的(可塑的)信念预测了更健康的喂养意图和对环境信息而非遗传信息的更多追求。与假设相反,内隐理论和风险感知的影响主要是独立的;然而,只有在那些感知风险较低的父母中,更渐进的信念才预示着较少的“垃圾食品”喂养。
