| Popis: | Both mothers&rsquo and best friends&rsquo food intake are associated with adolescents&rsquo food intake, but they are rarely investigated simultaneously. In this study, we tested the associations of mothers&rsquo food intake with adolescents&rsquo intake of unhealthy and healthy food, obtained from home and from outside the home, and the moderating role of adolescents&rsquo exposure to their food intake. Participants included 667 adolescents (53% female, Mage = 12.9) and 396 of their mothers. Within this adolescent sample, 378 best friend dyads were identified. All participants completed food frequency questionnaires. Mothers separately reported on their food intake in the presence and absence of their child, and adolescents indicated how often they ate and drank together with their best friend during school breaks. Mothers&rsquo but not best friends&rsquo food intake was positively related to adolescents&rsquo intake of unhealthy and healthy food obtained from home and healthy food obtained from outside the home. Exposure to mothers&rsquo healthy food intake magnified mother-child similarities in healthy food intake. Exposure to best friends&rsquo intake of unhealthy food moderated adolescent-friend similarities in unhealthy food intake. Future work should assess the mechanisms that underlie these similarities, and should investigate these associations over time and in later developmental periods. |
