Abstract
Background: Informant discrepancies in physical activity parenting practices (PAPP) are prevalent, but their effect on adolescent physical activity (PA) remains underexplored. This study aims to examine the relationship between the (in)congruence in the parent-adolescent reports of PAPP and adolescent physical activity (PA).
Methods: Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect perceptions on nine types of PAPP and adolescents' PA levels from 373 Chinese parent-adolescent dyads. Multiple linear regression, polynomial regression, and Response Surface Analysis were employed to explore the relationship between parent-adolescent (in)congruence in PAPP reports and adolescent physical activity.
Results: Over half of the dyads exhibited incongruence in their PAPP reports, with parents generally reporting higher PAPP scores compared to adolescents. Neither parent-reported nor adolescent-reported punishment, pressuring, and restriction were significantly associated adolescent PA. In contrast, adolescent-reported disengagement, expectation, facilitation, monitoring, non-directive support, and autonomy support demonstrated stronger significant associations with their PA levels compared to parent-reported measures. Congruence in reporting expectation, facilitation, monitoring, non-directive support, and autonomy support was positively associated with adolescent PA, while incongruence in these practices showed inverse associations. In addition, adolescents' gender-specific analyses demonstrated different informant effects on disengagement, monitoring, and non-directive support.
Conclusion: Parent-adolescent (in)congruences on positive PAPP rather than negative PAPP showed significant relationships with adolescents' PA levels, highlighting the importance of aligning parents' and adolescents' perceptions on positive PAPP to promote adolescent PA. Moreover, adolescent girls appear to be more sensitive to PAPP involving parents' presence than boys.
(父母与青少年关于体育活动养育实践报告的一致性:与青少年体育活动的关联》(In)Congruences in parent-adolescent reports of physical activity parenting practices: associations with adolescent physical activity.
背景:父母在体育活动养育实践(PAPP)中的告密者差异很普遍,但其对青少年体育活动(PA)的影响仍未得到充分探讨。本研究旨在探讨父母与青少年在体育活动养育实践报告中的不一致与青少年体育活动(PA)之间的关系:方法:本研究采用自填式问卷调查法,收集了 373 位中国家长和青少年对九种 PAPP 和青少年体育锻炼水平的看法。研究采用了多元线性回归、多项式回归和响应面分析等方法来探讨家长与青少年在PAPP报告中(不)一致与青少年体育活动之间的关系:结果:一半以上的家长和青少年的 PAPP 报告不一致,家长报告的 PAPP 分数普遍高于青少年报告的分数。父母和青少年报告的惩罚、压力和限制都与青少年的体育锻炼没有明显关系。相比之下,青少年报告的脱离、期望、促进、监督、非指导性支持和自主性支持与他们的PA水平有更大的关联。在报告期望、促进、监督、非指导性支持和自主性支持方面的一致性与青少年的活动量呈正相关,而在这些做法方面的不一致性则呈负相关。此外,针对青少年性别的分析表明,信息提供者对脱离、监督和非指导性支持有不同的影响:结论:家长与青少年在积极PAPP方面的(不)一致而非消极PAPP方面的(不)一致与青少年的PA水平有显著关系,这凸显了家长与青少年在积极PAPP方面看法一致对促进青少年PA的重要性。此外,与男孩相比,女孩似乎对涉及父母在场的 PAPP 更为敏感。
