Book Perceived Parenting Style and Self efficacy for Fruit and Vegetable Consumption Among University Students Living on Campus

Download or read book Perceived Parenting Style and Self efficacy for Fruit and Vegetable Consumption Among University Students Living on Campus written by Shannon Summers and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research suggests that parenting style has long-term implications on the emotional and behavioral development of children. The current study investigated the influence of parenting style on dietary behaviors beyond adolescence by examining the relationships between perceived parenting style, self-efficacy for fruit and vegetable consumption, and weight status among 227 college students living in campus residences. Spearman's rank-order correlations, linear regression, and independent sample t-test statistical analyses were used to test the hypothesis. Results demonstrated that authoritative parenting was positively correlated with self-efficacy for fruit and vegetable consumption (p

Book Social Cognitive Predictors of College Students  Fruit and Vegetable Intake

Download or read book Social Cognitive Predictors of College Students Fruit and Vegetable Intake written by Denice C Ahlstrom and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the social cognitive theory factors of home availability of fruits and vegetables, nutrition knowledge, food preparation ability, and cooking self-efficacy and the demographic factors of race/ethnicity, age, gender, marital status, living situation, and meal plan participation in relation to college students' fruit and vegetable consumption. The study sample was comprised of students attending on-campus classes at Utah State University during spring semester of 2009. Data were collected via traditional pencil-and-paper surveys distributed during classes with students in varying stages of their college education and from different fields of study. In total, 207 surveys were used for the linear regression analysis. Race/ethnicity was not included in the regression model due to lack of sufficient racial/ethnic diversity. Of the remaining variables, availability of fruits and vegetables in the home, cooking self-efficacy, and meal plan participation were found to be significant predictors of college students' fruit and vegetable consumption. Availability in the home was the strongest predictor of fruit and vegetable intake in this sample.

Book Predictors of Fruit and Vegetable Consumption

Download or read book Predictors of Fruit and Vegetable Consumption written by Kristen R. Erskine and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there are a wide range of health benefits to consuming fruits and vegetables, average Americans are not consuming the daily recommended amount, with rural populations consuming considerably fewer fruits and vegetables than the average population. This makes it crucial for research to be done on the rural populations so that targeted interventions can be created to increase their fruit and vegetable consumption, and in turn, their overall health. The current study evaluated the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) on fruit and vegetable consumption among individuals living in rural areas. A total of 118 rural participants completed the electronic survey; various correlation analyses were run among TPB and SCT constructs and the dependent variable and fruit and vegetable consumption; analyses included both a Pearson r correlation and regression analysis. Results indicated that while both theories (TPB and SCT) were significant predictors of fruit and vegetable consumption, perceived behavioral control accounted for the most variance in consumption within TPB and facilitation was the only significant predictor of consumption within SCT. Both theories indicated that internal constructs such as attitude and self-efficacy were not significant; with control and access being the main factors for fruit and vegetable consumption. If this demographic has no control or access to fruit and vegetables, then other constructs such as their attitudes and confidence in eating them are less likely to predict consumption.

Book Fruit and Vegetable Consumption Among an Ethnically Diverse Sample of Middle School Aged Girls

Download or read book Fruit and Vegetable Consumption Among an Ethnically Diverse Sample of Middle School Aged Girls written by Shannon Chiles and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obesity is a major health concern not only for adults, but for children and adolescents as well. Fruit and vegetable (F&V) consumption has been associated with a reduced risk of obesity among children and adolescents, but few children and adolescents meet the nationally recommended amount of daily F&V consumption. Also, few studies have examined this relationship among an ethnically diverse sample. Therefore, the purpose of the current study is to explore factors (parental F&V consumption and F&V self-efficacy) related to F&V consumption among 200 Middle school girls of Hispanic and Non-Hispanic descent. Multiple group path analyses were conducted. High self-efficacy for F&V consumption was associated with higher F&V consumption among Non-Hispanic girls, and vegetable consumption among Hispanic girls. No significant relationships were observed between BMI and child fruit and vegetable consumption, or parental fruit and vegetable consumption and child fruit and vegetable consumption. Future studies should examine these relationships in a longitudinal study to determine causality.

Book Developmental and Demographic Differences in Youth Self efficacy for Fruit and Vegetable Consumption and Proxy Efficacy for Fruit and Vegetable Availability

Download or read book Developmental and Demographic Differences in Youth Self efficacy for Fruit and Vegetable Consumption and Proxy Efficacy for Fruit and Vegetable Availability written by Karly Scott-Hillis Geller and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumption of fruits and vegetables (FV) contributes to healthy growth and development among youth. For effective intervention development, an understanding of the underlying casual influences on consumption is needed. The current dissertation is intended to identify whether influences on youth fruit and vegetable consumption (FVC) vary by age, gender, ethnicity and socioeconomic status (SES). The series of four chapters focus on self-efficacy for FVC and proxy efficacy to influence other adults to provide supportive FV environments. Chapter One reviews studies examining the influences on youth FVC. Consistently across studies, FV preferences and FV availability influenced youth FVC. Chapter Two and Chapter Three report studies documenting that children's confidence (proxy efficacy) to influence parents to make FV available and to influence other adults (after-school staff) to make FV available are independent but related constructs to self-efficacy to eat fruits and self-efficacy to eat vegetables. Differences were found in these constructs according to school demographic variables and youth demographic variables. Chapter Two reports that youth attending elementary schools with lower concentrations of racial/ethnic diversity and higher concentrations of high SES were more confident in influencing their parents to make FV available than youth attending schools with higher concentrations of racial/ethnic diversity and higher concentrations of low SES. Although analyses of cross sectional data collected on elementary-aged youth presented in Chapter 3 showed no demographic differences at the school level, Chapter Four examined longitudinal data across sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade and found demographic differences using youth level variables. Across the middle school years, youth declined in proxy efficacy and racial/ethnic minority youth declined at a significantly faster rate than white youth. Each year, male and lower SES youth were significantly lower in proxy efficacy than females and higher SES youth, respectively. Thus, school or youth demographic differences in self-efficacy and proxy efficacy may contribute to the understanding of why males and lower SES youth eat less FV than females and higher SES youth.

This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

Book Dads  Vs  Moms  Attitudes Related to Fruit   Vegetable Consumption

Download or read book Dads Vs Moms Attitudes Related to Fruit Vegetable Consumption written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For several years, recommendations in public health policy have encouraged an increase in fruit and vegetable consumption by adults and children in the United States. The health benefits of increasing fruit and vegetable consumption continue to grow, despite the daily intake of fruit and vegetables remaining well below recommended levels for most Americans. A variety of factors influence fruit and vegetable consumption. Perceived obstacles (including social, personal and economic challenges), intrinsic or extrinsic motivation, beliefs, confidence in coping with barriers to change behavior (self-efficacy), and self-management are all factors that impact fruit and vegetable intake among adults and children. However, much of the research on the influence of parents and food consumption has focused on moms, with very little research focused on dads. In an effort to better understand differences between dads' and moms' attitudes and behaviors related to fruit and vegetables for themselves and their children, PBH conducted an on-line survey throughout 2014. All respondents were either solely responsible for, or normally participated in, their household's grocery shopping and had children ten years of age or younger in the household. The survey included 600 dads and 600 moms. Questions about various factors related to fruit and vegetable consumption are outlined in this paper.

Book Application of the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change to Consumption of Fruits  Vegetables  and Grain Products Among Young Adults

Download or read book Application of the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change to Consumption of Fruits Vegetables and Grain Products Among Young Adults written by Susan Nyambura Maina and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perceived advantages and self-efficacy scores increased while scores on perceived disadvantages decreased from precontemplation to maintenance stages with the exception of the action stage for fruits and grain products. For grain products, scores on the perceived disadvantages increased, with a corresponding decrease in scores for perceived advantages at the action stage. Hispanic origin, gender, race, current relationship status, and living arrangements were significant predictors of either decisional balance and/or self-efficacy among young adults. The results have implications for nutrition education and research.
