“…Despite this, the cognitive mechanisms underlying food neophobia are not well understood. Correlations between food neophobia and a child's actual 'willingness to try' a novel food are weak (Tuorila, Lähteenmäki, Pohjalainen, & Lotti, 2001) or inconsistent (Dovey et al, 2008). For instance, Dovey & Shuttleworth (2006) found that whilst food neophobia in rural children was higher than in urban children, these children were more willing to try unfamiliar vegetables than urban children.…”

“…A distinção dos gêneros em relação à opinião sobre o produto inovador foi evidenciada pelo interesse de mulheres pelo produto não familiar, pelas novas versões e novos sabores. Já os homens revelaram preferência pelo produto tradicional, que respeite o que é habitualmente conhecido por eles corrobora com os estudos que apontam que as mulheres são menos neofóbicas (KOIVISTO; SJÖDEN, 1996; HURSTI; SJÖDÉN, 1997;TUORILA et al, 2001;BÄCKSTRÖM;PIRTTILÄ-BACKMAN;TUORILA, 2003;CAMARENA;. A afirmação de que consideram importante que as indústrias apresentem novos sabores e versões diferentes do pão de queijo tradicional também justifica uma atitude menos neofóbica.…”

No processo de escolha do alimento, o ambiente em que o consumidor está inserido, suas experiências passadas, os meios dos quais esse consumidor participa e os significados simbólicos que esse produto pode ter para ele influenciam o seu comportamento de compra e consumo de um alimento inovador e não familiar.…”

This article presents the results of an exploratory study that sought to analyze the attitude of 476 consumers in the city of Campo Grande about to their perception, motivation and tendency to food neophobia regarding the consumption of an innovative food product, the cheesy bread with carrot developed by SENAI/MSResumo: Este artigo apresenta os resultados de um estudo exploratório que pretendeu analisar a atitude de 476 consumidores do município de Campo Grande quanto à sua percepção, motivação e tendência à neofobia alimentar quanto ao consumo de um produto alimentar inovador, o pão de queijo com cenoura desenvolvido pelo SENAI/MS. Para o tratamento dos dados, foi realizada a análise estatística de correspondência múltipla e análise de cluster com o auxílio do software francês SPAD. Os resultados dessas análises permitiram a composição de uma tipologia de comportamentos. Quatro grupos mais representativos daquela amostra foram definidos como: "Pão de queijo, só se for caseiro", "Adoro inovação, desde que a aparência do produto seja semelhante à do caseiro", "Confio mesmo em marca conhecida" e, por fim, "Nada disso me interessa". Os resultados mostraram que três dos quatro grupos de respondentes apresentaram tendências de rejeição ao produto alimentar inovador/não familiar. Comportamentos menos neofóbicos foram percebidos nos grupos melhor representados por mulheres, com as maiores rendas e níveis de informação. A falta de tempo ou habilidade no preparo do alimento e a habilidade da indústria em oferecer produtos parecidos com o caseiro ou com aquele que foi feito pela mãe/avó são as principais justificativas para as atitudes positivas em relação ao novo produto. Os resultados deste artigo representam para a indústria e outros agentes dos poderes público e privado importantes fontes de informação para construção de suas políticas.Palavras-chave: Neofobia alimentar.

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to examine the association between parental eating behaviours and dietary patterns and feeding practices of infants and young children. Design: Data on infant-feeding practices were collected from each infant's birth via parentally self-administered follow-up diaries. Three questionnaires, the ThreeFactor Eating Questionnaire, the Food Neophobia Scale and the Index of Diet Quality, were administered when the children were aged 4 and 13 months. Setting: South-western Finland. Subjects: Families participating in the STEPS longitudinal cohort study (n 1797). Results: Mean duration of exclusive breast-feeding was 2·4 months and total duration of breast-feeding averaged 8·1 months. The first solid food was introduced into children's diets at the age of 3·9 months, on average. Mothers with highly restrictive eating were more likely to introduce solid foods sooner than mothers who ranked lower in these behaviours (3·8 months v. 4·0 months, P = 0·012). Neophobic mothers breast-fed exclusively (2·0 v. 2·6 months, P = 0·038) and in total (7·2 v. 8·5 months, P = 0·039) for shorter times than average mothers, even after adjusting for various demographic characteristics. Fathers' diet quality was associated with total breast-feeding duration and with introduction of complementary foods in unadjusted analyses and with total breastfeeding duration also after adjusting for confounding factors. Conclusions: Mothers' and fathers' eating patterns and practices are associated with the feeding practices of infants and young children. Health promotion interventions seeking to improve parents' eating patterns might lead to more favourable feeding practices for infants and young children. Keywords Parental eating behaviour Breast-feeding Complementary feedingFeeding practices for infants and young children are important in order to ensure optimal growth and development in childhood, as well as health and well-being later in life. Breast milk, fed exclusively for the first 6 months and thereafter with adequate complementary foods until 1-2 years of age, is recommended globally to provide the best nutrition for infants as well as long-and short-term health benefits for the mother and child (1)(2)(3) . However, breastfeeding (BF) duration and complementary feeding practices are far from the recommended standards in many countries, including Finland (4)(5)(6) .Infant feeding behaviour and practices are influenced by numerous factors. In particular, the determinants of BF have been widely studied. BF initiation and duration have commonly been related to maternal age, marital status, race, smoking, educational level, socio-economic status, maternal obesity, parity, method of delivery and psychosocial factors (7,8) . Furthermore, studies have reported that the introduction of solid foods earlier than recommended may also be influenced by multiple factors, such as a mother's young age, smoking, low educational level, marital status or a child's low birth weight (9)(10)(11)(12) .Parents' e...
