摘要
The validity of the Child Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ), one of the measures used to assess parental child feeding practices and attitudes, has been confirmed in American populations. We used confirmatory factor analysis to test the validity and factor structure of the translated version of the CFQ among parents of Japanese elementary school children. The structural equation modelling software Linear Structural Relationships (LISREL) was applied to explore the validity of the translated CFQ to examine child feeding behaviours and attitudes in a sample of 920 parents of Japanese elementary schoolchildren from schools in Koshu City in Yamanashi prefecture (grades 4-6), Japan. The confirmatory factor analysis suggested that after dropping the items with a low factor loading and adding three error covariances between items, the 7-factor model displayed acceptable fit and most items loaded as expected. Of the 24 direct facto-item correlations, 22 were greater than 0.50. Our study confirmed the validity of the translated CFQ to assess child feeding practices and attitudes among parents of elementary schoolchildren brought up in a Japanese eating culture.
