Project description

Although parents most likely do influence children's eating behavior, research has failed to establish a solid relationship between parenting styles and children's eating habits. This project starts from a bidirectional mdoel and aims at mapping the complex dynamics of processes of interpersonal influence in families and their role in explaining children's eating behavior.
