Factors Affecting the Prediction of Eating Behavior in Children: Stepwise Regression Analysis on Parental Feeding Styles

Gulcan Arusoglu, Sine Yilmaz, Basak Can.


Abstract
Introduction: In order to prevent obesity in adults, it is necessary to intervene in negative behaviors that develop in childhood. These negative behaviors include negative eating behaviors. The aim of our study is to investigate the relationship between parental feeding styles, which is one of the most important factors affecting children's feeding behavior.
Materials and Methods: In this research, which was planned as a descriptive study, the Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire and Parental Feeding Style Questionnaire scales were administered to the participants by the researchers.
Results: Research results showed that parental feeding styles, such as emotional feeding and incentive feeding, are one of the most important predictors of children's eating behaviors. In addition, the child's weight also affects sub-dimensions such as eating selectivity, slow eating, and enjoyment of eating.
Conclusion: The interaction between the child's weight and eating behavior is a vicious circle that is harder to break. However, if the parents' eating styles are changed in the right direction, the child's eating behavior can be improved and the child's weight can be managed. This is an important way to prevent childhood obesity. For this reason, parents and caregivers who are responsible for the child's nutrition need to acquire healthy eating behaviors and adapt these behaviors to their own lives.

Key words: Children's Eating Behavior, Parental Feeding Styles, Preschool, School-Age
