Abstract

Objective: Parents' ability to cooperate and work as a team in feeding their children relates to positive health and relational outcomes. However, our understanding of feeding coparenting largely relies on parents' perceptions. It is unclear how mothers' and fathers' perceptions of feeding coparenting relate to objective ratings of these behaviors at mealtime and whether features of the marital relationship relate to measurements of feeding coparenting and discrepancies in couple members' perceptions of these dynamics.

Methods: The current study analyzed daily self-reports and observer ratings of feeding coparenting among dyads for 1 week, along with parent perceptions of marital quality, in a sample of 63 mother-father dyads present at their preschool-age child's dinner meal (266 dinner observations).

Results: Using a series a multilevel models, results showed mothers' daily perceptions of feeding coparenting related to ratings of feeding coparenting balance; parents' perceptions of daily feeding coparenting related to their reports of marital quality; and lower maternal feeding coparenting perceptions relative to their partner's perceptions related to lower mother-reported marital quality and higher father-reported marital quality.

Conclusions: Findings are discussed in terms of measurement considerations and contextual factors impacting feeding coparenting.

报告和观察的日常喂养父母：学龄前儿童的父母之间的婚姻质量的联系。

目的：父母在喂养孩子方面的合作和团队工作能力与积极的健康和关系结果有关。然而，我们对喂养父母的理解很大程度上依赖于父母的观念。目前尚不清楚母亲和父亲对喂养父母的看法如何与进餐时这些行为的客观评分有关，以及婚姻关系的特征是否与喂养父母的测量和夫妻成员对这些动态的看法的差异有关。方法：本研究分析了为期一周的每日自我报告和观察评分，以及父母对婚姻质量的看法，研究对象是63对出现在学龄前儿童晚餐上的父母对（266次晚餐观察）。结果：采用一系列的a -多水平模型，结果显示母亲的日常喂养父母的感知与喂养父母的平衡评分相关；父母对日常喂养父母的看法与其报告的婚姻质量相关；母亲对养育子女的认知相对于伴侣的认知较低与母亲报告的较低的婚姻质量和父亲报告的较高的婚姻质量有关。结论：研究结果讨论了测量考虑和环境因素影响喂养共育。
