摘要

导言:由于包括主动交通在内的日常体育活动可以改善儿童的健康状况,因此有必要研究儿童为各种目的而步行的预测因素,而不仅仅是步行上下学。儿童及其父母(或监护人)对步行的行为、认知和态度之间的关系非常重要,因为儿童对出行的决定并不是独立于父母或监护人的影响而做出的。此外,横断面研究的结果可能不足以解释儿童的步行情况,因为他们之间的关系是持续存在的。因此,我们研究了儿童和父母的观念与步行行为之间的纵向关系。方法我们使用了美国俄勒冈州波特兰市 182 名 4-16 岁儿童及其父母的两波面板数据。我们估算了一个交叉滞后面板模型(CLPM)来分析儿童和家长的认知与步行行为之间的连续关系。数据是通过调查、加速度计和 GPS 设备收集的。结果我们发现,当父母步行更多的时候,他们的孩子在这两个时期也步行更多。家长对孩子步行环境中陌生人和交通的积极安全认知大大增加了孩子的步行时间。儿童的安全认知(仅在第二阶段)和与时间相关的行为控制感知(在两个阶段)影响了他们对步行的态度,但不影响步行时间。 结论:我们的研究通过两年的反复观察,揭示了父母与儿童步行的态度和行为之间的重要关系。根据我们的研究结果,适合父母步行的社区会对儿童的步行产生积极影响。要鼓励儿童持续步行,家长需要先步行。

Under the influence of parents: A longitudinal study of children's walking

Introduction

As daily physical activities, including active transportation, improve children's health, studying predictors of children's walking for all purposes rather than just walking to and from school is necessary. Relationships between the behavior, perceptions, and attitudes of children and their parents (or guardians) about walking are important because children's decisions about travel are not made independently of the influence of their parents or guardians. In addition, findings from cross-sectional studies may not be sufficient to explain children's walking since their relationship is persistent. Therefore, we examined the longitudinal relationship between children's and parents' perceptions and walking behavior.

Methods

We used two-wave panel data of 182 children aged 4–16 and their parents in Portland, Oregon, USA. We estimated a cross-lagged panel model (CLPM) to analyze the continuous relationships between children's and parent's perceptions and walking behaviors. Data were collected through surveys, accelerometers, and GPS units.

Results

We found that when parents walked more, their children also walked more in both periods. Parents' positive safety perceptions about their children's walking environment in terms of strangers and traffic significantly increased children's walking time. Children's safety perceptions (only in the second period) and time-related perceived behavioral control (in both periods) affected their attitude toward walking but not walking time.

Conclusion

Our study reveals meaningful relationships between the attitudes and behaviors of parents' and children's walking based on repeated observations over two years. Given our results, neighborhoods that are good for parents to walk in positively affect children's walking. Parental walking needs to precede to encourage continuous children's walking.
