T1  - What do you like to eat? Correlation between food familiarity and actual preference
JF  - Zeitschrift für Gesundheitspsychologie
N2  - The preference for fruits and vegetables is the main predictor for the longtime healthy eating behavior. There are many factors which affect the development of food preferences. The familiarity with different foods seems to be a special aspect associated with the corresponding preference. To establish a preference for fruits and vegetables during early childhood, we need to know more about the factors that affect this preference development. So far, research has mostly concentrated on the food intake and less on the corresponding preference. Additionally, it is often based on studies of the mere-exposure effect or on older children and their ability to label fruits and vegetables correctly. Findings about the level of food familiarity in young children and its relation to the actual food preference are still missing. Our study focuses on different aspects of food familiarity as well as on their relationship to the child's preference and presents results from 213 children aged 2 to 10 years. Using standardized photos, the food preference was measured with a computer-based method that ran automatically without influence from parents or interviewer. The children knew fewer of the presented vegetables (66 %) than fruits or sweets (78 % each). About the same number of vegetables (63 %) had already been tasted by the children and were considered tasty. Only 48 % of the presented vegetables were named correctly - an ability that increases in older children. Concerning the relationship between the familiarity with vegetables and their preference, the different familiarity aspects showed that vegetables of lower preference were less often recognized, tasted, considered tasty, or named correctly.

T1  - ISS : ein Instrument zur Erfassung elterlicher Steuerungsstrategien in der Essenssituation
N2  - Vorgestellt wird ein Instrument zur Erhebung muetterlicher Steuerungsstrategien in der Essenssituation (ISS), fuer deren Erfassung bislang kein deutschsprachiges, ueberprueftes Instrument vorliegt. Dazu wurde an 163 Muettern mit Vorschulkindern ein auf Grundlage bereits existierender englischsprachiger Instrumente (CFQ, CFSQ) sowie Fokusinterviews mit Experten und Muettern entstandener Itempool ueberprueft. Die Studie berichtet ueber die faktoren- und itemanalytischen Ergebnisse, nach denen sich 21 Items als trennscharf und verstaendlich erwiesen. Eine explorative Faktorenanalyse ergab sechs Faktoren, die zusammen 68% der Varianz aufklaerten. Sie umfassen aktive Strategien, wie Restriktion, Draengen und Belohnung, aber auch passive Steuerung durch Vorbild, Monitoring und die Staerkung der Eigenverantwortung des Kindes. Analysen zu Unterschieden im Steuerungsverhalten der Mutter bestaetigten die Faehigkeit des Instrumentes zur Differenzierung zwischen Muettern mit verschiedenem soziooekonomischen Status und Kindern unterschiedlichen Gewichts.
