We investigated the relationship between selected parent behaviors, child mealtime behavior, and infant relative weight. Subjects were 7 male and 7 female children varying in age from 12 to 30 months (mean = 23.9 months). Each subject and parents were observed during the dinnertime meal on two occasions using the BATMAN (Bob and Tom's Method of Assessing Nutrition). The children spent 58% of the mealtime eating. They spent very little time making active decisions about what and how much they ate (food requests = 2% of the time; food refusals = 1% of the time). We found significant correlations between child relative weight and (a) parental prompts to eat (r = .81, p less than .001), (b) parental food offers (r = .51, p less than .05), and (c) parental encouragement to eat (r = .82, p less than .001). Thus, the present study suggests a relationship between certain parental variables and the relative weight of their children.
我们研究了特定的父母行为、儿童用餐行为和婴儿相对体重之间的关系。研究对象为7名男性和7名女性儿童，年龄在12至30个月之间（平均年龄为23.9个月）。使用BATMAN（鲍勃和汤姆营养评估方法）在两个不同场合的晚餐时间对每个儿童及其父母进行观察。孩子们用餐时间的58%用于进食。他们很少花时间主动决定吃什么和吃多少（提出食物要求的时间占2%；拒绝食物的时间占1%）。我们发现儿童相对体重与以下因素之间存在显著相关性：（a）父母鼓励进食（r = 0.81，p < 0.001），（b）父母提供食物（r = 0.51，p < 0.05），以及（c）父母鼓励吃饭（r = 0.82，p < 0.001）。因此，本研究表明某些父母变量与其子女的相对体重之间存在关联。
