Abstract

In Mexico social dynamics are changing toward less traditional arrangements. With a qualitative interview study, we explore the link between marital conflict and mothers' ability to foster healthy dietary habits. Sample consisted of 21 middle-class cohabitating mothers of preschoolers. Results suggests that marital conflict leads women to experiences of tension, ambivalence, or inaction on fostering healthy eating habits. Parents' mismatch in gender beliefs, food preferences, time orientation, and risk aversion play a role in creating disagreements. When men participate, women feel "helped" and grateful, but the forms and extent of desired participation may vary among traditional, ambivalent and non-traditional women.

婚姻冲突与学龄前儿童的健康饮食习惯：墨西哥城市夫妻妇女经验研究》。

在墨西哥，社会动态正在向不那么传统的安排转变。通过定性访谈研究，我们探讨了婚姻冲突与母亲培养健康饮食习惯的能力之间的联系。样本包括 21 位学龄前儿童的中产阶级同居母亲。结果表明，婚姻冲突导致女性在培养健康饮食习惯方面出现紧张、矛盾或不作为的体验。父母在性别观念、食物偏好、时间取向和风险规避方面的不匹配也是造成分歧的原因之一。当男性参与时，女性会感到 "被帮助 "并心存感激，但传统女性、矛盾女性和非传统女性希望参与的形式和程度可能有所不同。

期刊介绍： Ecology of Food and Nutrition is an international journal of food and nutrition in the broadest sense. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of food and nutrition -- ecological, biological, and cultural. Ecology of Food and Nutrition strives to become a forum for disseminating scholarly information on the holistic and cross-cultural dimensions of the study of food and nutrition. It emphasizes foods and food systems not only in terms of their utilization to satisfy human nutritional needs and health, but also to promote and contest social and cultural identity. The content scope is thus wide -- articles may focus on the relationship between food and nutrition, food taboos and preferences, ecology and political economy of food, the evolution of human nutrition, changes in food habits, food technology and marketing, food and identity, and food sustainability. Additionally, articles focusing on the application of theories and methods to address contemporary food and nutrition problems are encouraged. Questions of the relationship between food/nutrition and culture are as germane to the journal as analyses of the interactions among nutrition and environment, infection and human health.
