Retracted. Resilience, parenting style, and children’s eating behavior

Abstract

At the request of the Journal Editors and SAGE Publishing, the following article has been retracted.

Wood, M., & Shukla, P. (2019). Resilience, Parenting Style, and Children’s Eating Behavior. Social Marketing Quarterly, 25(2), 123–136. https://doi.org/10.1177/1524500419831084

The article has been retracted after the journal became aware that substantial portions of the article were taken from the 2015 thesis titled ‘Is parental resilience associated with child feeding practices related to an authoritative parenting style and a reduced likelihood of childhood obesity?’ by Daisy Hopson, who was a student advisee of the first author, Matthew Wood, while he was a professor overseeing her writing of the thesis and Daisy was a student at the University of Brighton.

The authors informed the journal that second author, Prof. Paurav Shukla, was responsible for additional data analysis, which was not part of Hopson’s thesis. The authors further informed us that the second author took no part in the article’s literature review and discussion.

Original abstract:
This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between parental resilience and parenting styles and the impact of these characteristics on children’s eating behaviors and weight. Through a quantitative examination, we found parental concerns about their child’s weight positively relate to family attitudes toward fruits and vegetables but negatively relate to actual consumption of fruits and vegetables. Contrarily, advance planning of healthy meals among parents is negatively associated with family attitudes toward fruits and vegetables but positively associated with children’s consumption of fruits and vegetables. Family attitudes toward fruits and vegetables have a significant influence on children’s consumption of fruits and vegetables. The personal competence component of parental resilience has a significant moderating influence on the relationship between parental concerns about their child’s weight and his or her consumption of fruits and vegetables. The “acceptance of self and life” component of parental resilience has a significant moderating influence on the relationship between advance planning of healthy meals among parents and children’s consumption of fruits and vegetables.
