Conducting exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with the existing home environment assessment-the Comprehensive Home Environment Survey (CHES), to identify scales related to food parenting practices.
Parents of 3- to 5-year-old children (n = 172) completed the CHES surveys. After selected items from CHES were categorized into food parenting practice constructs, EFA was used to identify potential subconstructs. Internal consistency and Spearman correlation analysis were also conducted.
The EFAs identified 4 factors within the structure, 4 within coercive control, and 2 within autonomy support.
The results provided preliminary evidence and support that the CHES can be used to measure food parenting practices. The study was limited to a small sample of non-Hispanic White and highly educated participants, less identified items within autonomy support, and lower internal consistency for several identified factors. Confirmatory factor analysis in a larger and more diverse sample is needed for future research.
运用现有的家庭环境评估工具——综合家庭环境调查（CHES）进行探索性因素分析（EFA），以确定与食物养育方式相关的量表。
3至5岁儿童的父母（n = 172）完成了CHES调查。从CHES中选取的项目被归类为食物养育方式结构后，采用EFA来识别潜在的子结构。还进行了内部一致性和斯皮尔曼相关性分析。
EFA在该结构中识别出4个因素，在强制控制中有4个，在自主支持中有2个。
研究结果提供了初步证据，支持CHES可用于测量食物养育方式。该研究仅限于非西班牙裔白人且受教育程度高的小样本参与者，自主支持中识别出的项目较少，且几个识别出的因素内部一致性较低。未来研究需要在更大且更多样化的样本中进行验证性因素分析。
