“…Our research support the results of studies showing that parents have a significant influence on the development of their children's body image, body image disturbances and disordered eating [24][25][26]. Associations between several variables describing the socioeconomic situation of a family and the children's eating attitudes proved to be significant.…”

Aim of the studyThe aim of the study was to assess the correlation between the results of the Polish version of Maloney’s ChEAT-26, the socio-economical status of pre-pubertal pupils from Krakow schools and their family situation.Subject or material and methodsThe study group comprised 218 pupils that attended Grades from 4 to 6 and their mothers. The children’s ChEAT-26 results were related to family structure, emigration, parental education, the mother’s state of health and her subjective judgement of her state of health and her family circumstances, employment status and financial circumstances.ResultsDisordered eating attitudes of the children were elevated in families where one of the parents had emigrated. Parents with higher education levels tend to have a stronger influence on their child’s eating habits. The children of such parents are more aware of dietary standards, they tend to control their eating habits more but they also get less pleasure out of eating food. Having the mother achieve professional success, in her estimation, turned out to be positively correlated with an increased desire in her child to lose weight. A mother’s positive assessment of her family was correlated with her child’s greater compliance with the principles of healthy eating. Some of the observed correlations were different in the boys’ group and in the girls’ group.DiscussionAny discussion concerning the relationship of the obtained results with a change in the social circumstance, although likely, is only hypothetical.ConclusionsStudy has provided evidence of a connection between socioeconomic status, family variables and eating attitudes in young children in modern Poland.

“…Thirdly, we only included mothers in this study. It is important for future research to also consider fathers, as they too play a significant role in the development of their children's body image (Rodgers & Chabrol, 2009). Indeed, some studies have reported that engaging fathers in body image and Running head: MOTHER DAUGHTER PREFERENCES FOR INTERVENTIONS 11 eating disorder prevention interventions has proven more difficult than involving mothers (Trost, 2006).…”

“…Mothers play a key role in influencing their daughter's body image (Rodgers & Chabrol, 2009). They can foster positive body image among their daughters by modelling positive attitudes and behaviours towards their own appearance (Abraczinskas, Fisak, & Barnes, 2012).…”

“…But studies on young adult women suggest it would be only psychological control by the father, whereas psychological control by the mother would have an indirect influence through mediating mechanisms such as maladaptive perfectionism (Soenens et al, 2008) or moderating the relationship between body dissatisfaction and disordered eating (Sira & White, 2010). Thus, an important avenue for future research is to further explore these parental influences as well as daughters' mediating/ moderating mechanisms such as body dissatisfaction, internalization of appearance ideals, appearance anxiety and personality traits (Rodgers & Chabrol, 2009;Soenens et al, 2008;Tetley, Moghaddam, Dawson, & Rennoldson, 2014). Furthermore, recent review papers share a common idea that there are no particular patterns in family functioning associated with eating disorders; rather, family functioning is diverse (Holtom-Viesel & Allan, 2014;Konstantellou, Campbell, & Eisler, 2012;Le Grange, Lock, Loeb, & Nicholls, 2010).…”

Abstract:The associations between parent-daughter relationship characteristics and disordered eating behaviors among emerging adult women from the Czech Republic were examined. Participants (N = 798 women, M = 22.25 years old, SD = 1.42) reported on disordered eating behaviors (dieting and unhealthy weight-control behaviors; UWCB), their relationship characteristics with each parent (trust, communication, alienation and psychological control) and covariates (weight, height, frequency of communication with parents, living status and parental statuses). Overall, 41% of women were on a diet, and 33% engaged in at least one UWCB. Logistic regression analyses revealed that none of the parent-daughter relationship characteristics had any association with dieting. However, a low quality of mother-daughter relationship (low trust, high alienation and psychological control) had a significant association with UWCB. None of the fatherdaughter relationship characteristics had a significant association with UWCB. The results suggest that preventive interventions with the family should emphasize the quality of the motherdaughter relationship.
