Young girls' emerging dietary restraint and disinhibition are related to parental control in child feeding

Perceptions of parental pressure to eat and eating behaviours in preadolescents: The mediating role of anxiety

“…Average scores on the KCFQ were comparable to the results found with the original KCFQ (Carper, Fisher & Birch, 2000). Mean levels of self-reported anxiety (SCAS) were slightly higher than previous studies using this measure (Farrow et al, 2011;Spence, 1998), possibly due to the lower mean age of the children in the present study.…”

“…The links between dietary restraint and perceptions of pressure to eat support previous research with younger children which has found greater parental pressure to eat is associated with children's reduced intake of food (e.g., Galloway et al, 2006;Wardle & Carnell, 2007). Pressure to eat is thought to disrupt children's ability to respond to internal cues of hunger and satiety (Carper, Fisher & Birch, 2000) and can have long-lasting implications on food intake (Batsell et al, 2002).…”

Maternal and paternal controlling feeding practices with male and female children

“…The CFQ is widely used to assess parental control over child feeding (Carper, Fisher & Birch, 2000;Fisher, Birch, Smiciklas-Wright & Picciano, 2000;Fisher, Mitchell, Smiciklas-Wright & Birch, 2002;Francis, Hofer, & Birch, 2001), and has been shown to have good validity and reliability ).…”

Finishing the family meal. The interactional organisation of satiety

“…Moreover, this work also comes with a warning that eating with others can have undesirable implications for those wishing to lose or manage their weight , and yet such conditions form the basis of the majority of our eating practices. A further area of research within psychology considers the impact of parenting styles on child feeding practices (Farrow, Galloway, & Fraser, 2009), often driven by a concern with childhood obesity or weight issues (Blissett & Haycraft, 2008;Carper, Fisher, & Birch, 2000;Faith, Scanlon, Birch, Francis, & Sherry, 2004;Wardle, Sanderson, Guthrie, Rapoport, & Plomin, 2002). The parenting styles or strategies typically examined include a range of practices, from encouraging children to finish their food, to controlling the type and amount of food that they eat (Bourcier, Bowen, Meischke, & Moinpour, 2003;Hendy, WIlliams, Camise, Eckman, & Hedemann, 2009;Sleddens, Kremers, De Vries, & Thijs, 2010).…”
