Abstract

Objective To develop Eating Behavior Scale for infants with high reliability and validity,so as to provide a scientific and reliable tool for the evaluation of infants' eating behavior in China. Methods A total of 281 parents of 6- to 11-month-old infants were investigated. Then the initial questionnaires were formed. Factor analysis,discriminant analysis,Cronbach's α coefficient and Spearman correlation analysis were used to screen the initial items. And 935 parents of 6- to 11-month-old infants were asked to fill out primary questionnaire. Finally the formal questionnaire was formed. The reliability and validity of the formal questionnaire was tested by Guttman split-half reliability analysis,retest reliability analysis,exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Results 1) Finally the Eating Behavior Scale of 6- to 11-month-old infants consisted of 33 items with 6 dimensions was formulated. The Cronbach's α coefficient of scale was 0.910,Guttman split-half reliability was 0.927,the retest reliability of the scale was 0.693,and the correlation coefficient between each factor and the scale ranged from 0.266 to 0.752. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the values of χ2/df,GFI,CFI,RFI and RMSEA of the scale were 3.180,0.831,0.842,0.766 and 0.068,respectively. 2) The length and weight of infants were positively correlated with the birth weight,of food type and eating ability,of feeding behavior and of food response(P<0.05). The education level of parents and income had significant influences on infants' eating behaviors(P<0.05). Conclusion The scale is a scientific and reliable tool with good reliability and validity,which can objectively evaluate the dietary behavior problems of infants in China.
