Objective To develop the Preschooler′s Parents Feeding Behavior Scale, so as to provide a standardized measure tool for clinical practice and related studies. Methods The theoretical framework and concept model of preschooler′s parents feeding behavior were determined through literature review, combined with qualitative interviews among target population and expert consultation. The first draft of Parents′ Feeding Behavior Scale contained 95 items was made. After two rounds of survey in the urban and rural kindergartens of Jinan and Xi′an, the formal scale with 35 items by using different item selection methods. The structure of the formal scale were evaluated by using factor analysis and correlation analysis, and the reliability, validity and discrimination of the scale were evaluated based on the survey data of 912 preschool children from 5 kindergartens of Jinan and Xi′an. Results Preschooler′s Parents Feeding Behavior Scale consisted of 35 items, including 7 dimensions like responsibility feeding, weight concerns, with content of diet, diet concept, diet behavior as the center of the restricted feeding, forced feeding, and monitoring feeding dimensions. The cumulative variance contribution rate was 58.6%.The Cronbach′s α coefficient of the scale was 0.91, split-half and re-test reliability coefficient was 0.89 and 0.80, respectively. Conclusions Preschooler′s Parents Feeding Behavior Scale has good reliability and validity, seven dimensions in this scale can comprehensively reflect parents′ feeding behavior characteristics
