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.

摘要： 目的 旨在编制一套具有高信效度的本土化婴儿饮食行为量表,以早期识别、预防婴儿饮食行为的发生。方法 对281名6~11月龄婴儿进行初始问卷调查。运用因子分析、区分度分析、Cronbach's α系数及Spearman相关分析筛选条目,形成试用问卷。对935名6~11月龄婴儿行试用问卷调查,筛选条目并形成正式量表。运用折半信度、重测信度、探索性因子分析和验证性因子分析等方法评价量表的信效度。结果 1)形成包含6个维度、33个条目的婴儿饮食行为量表,Cronbach's α系数为0.910,折半信度为0.927,重测信度为0.693,与各维度的相关系数为0.266~0.752。验证性因子分析示χ²/df=3.180,GFI=0.831,CFI=0.842,RFI=0.766,RMSEA=0.068。2)婴儿体格生长与出生体重、食物种类与进食能力、喂养人行为和食物响应相关(P<0.05)。父母文化水平和家庭收入对婴儿饮食行为影响显著(P<0.05)。结论 婴儿饮食行为量表具有良好的信效度,可客观反映6~11月龄婴儿的饮食行为问题,是我国本土化婴儿饮食行为评估的科学可信工具。
