Overview

Cross-sectional validation reveals a five-factor structure for parent and teen food parenting surveys, indicating utility for assessing dietary socialization discrepancies.

Key Points

  • To develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of the 16-item Adolescent Food Parenting Questionnaire for both parents and adolescents.
  • Surveyed 381 parent-adolescent dyads (adolescents aged 12–16; parents: 73.8% mothers, 26.2% fathers) from the Dutch 'G(F)OOD together' study.
  • Conducted exploratory factor analysis (EFA) on a random split-half sample and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) on the remaining half.
  • Assessed convergent validity through correlations with self-reported adolescent dietary intake.
  • EFA identified a 5-factor structure explaining 61.6% of the variance for parents (AFPQ-p) and 64.2% for adolescents (AFPQ-a), comprising Autonomy Support, Coercive Control, Snack Structure, Healthy Structure, and Modelling.
  • CFA demonstrated good model fit across both parent and adolescent instruments, with Cronbach's alpha values ranging from 0.69 to 0.85 across subscales.
  • Associations between questionnaire factors and adolescent food intake aligned with hypothesized directions, supporting preliminary convergent validity.
