“…The researcher recruited fathers as well as mothers because several recent studies (Marcus 2006; Pine, Wilson, and Nash 2007) have indicated that fathers are also major caregivers for children in terms of the time they spend with children as well as their involvement in children's eating habits, nutrition, school life and media exposure (Brooks et al 1998; Coontz 2005; Downs 2008).

There have been numerous discussions about what factors influence children's obesity level and their attitudes toward advertising. Among many possible factors, parental influence cannot be ignored, because children (7–12 years old) generally spend more time with their parents than with anybody else.

The results reveal that parental communication styles/patterns significantly influence children's obesity level and their attitude toward TV snack/fast‐food ads.
