Survey Measures include:

Acculturation/incorporation – Abbreviated Multidimensional Acculturation Scale (Zea, Asner-Self, Birman, & Buki, 2003). The AMAS-ZABB is a 42 item, self-report scale with Likert-type response options designed to assess three factors associated with acculturation in the United States and in the country of origin: identity, language competence, and cultural competence.

Parenting style – The PPQ scale yields three continuous scores reflecting Baumrind’s (1971) three parenting styles of authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive.

Parental feeding practices – 49-item questionnaire that measures 12 aspects of parental feeding behavior, including monitoring child food intake, using food to regulate the child’s emotions, using food as a reward, child control over feeding, teaching about nutrition, encouraging good habits, restricting child’s food intake for weight reasons, restricting child’s intake for health reasons, and modeling healthy eating habits.

Child eating behaviors – A 35-item parent-report questionnaire that measures eight dimensions of eating style in children. These constructs include responsiveness to food, enjoyment of food, satiety responsiveness, slowness in eating, fussiness, emotional overeating, emotional undereating, and desire for drinks.

Anti-fat attitudes – Crandall’s Anti-fat Attitudes Questionnaire (AFA; Crandall, 1994) will assess parents’ attitudes toward obesity. This measure consists of 13 Likert-type response items and includes three subscales: the evaluation and dislike of individuals who are fat, the controllability of weight/fat, and personal concerns and distress about weight or the prospect of becoming overweight.

Parent’s concern about child overweight - Concern for child’s overweight and child’s underweight were measured by ten questions from two subscales derived from the Child Feeding Questionnaire.

Perception of child’s body. Parents’ satisfaction with their child’s current body shape was assessed utilizing body silhouettes of children (Collins, 1991; Appendix F). Parents were asked to indicate which of the seven figures they feel most closely resembles their child and then rate the figure they would most like their child to resemble and the figure they would not like their child to resemble.
