Abstract Satisfaction with food-related life (SWFRL) is one component of satisfaction with life. Although researchers have identified associations between satisfaction with food-related life and specific food behaviours, it is still not clear how consumers conceptualize this complex construct. The aims of the present study were to explore consumers’ conceptualization of SWFRL, to compare how parents and adolescents in dual-headed households perceive SWFRL, and to identify aspects that would increase their SWFRL. One-hundred and sixty-four dual families composed of mother, father, and at least one adolescent child between 10 and 17 years of age participated in the study. They completed a word association task with “Being satisfied with my food-related life” and completed the sentence “I would be more satisfied with my food-related life if…”. Participants’ responses were aligned with the formal definition of SWFRL. References to specific foods and food characteristics were also mentioned in the word association task. No significant differences were found between parents and adolescents in the frequency of mention of responses related to the identified categories and supra-categories, suggesting lack of differences in their conceptualization of SWFRL. Changes in eating behaviours and individuals’ resources for purchasing and preparing foods were regarded as the main factors that could increase SWFRL. Differences between family members were found in some of the aspects associated with an increase in SWFRL. Results from this study can aid in the development of strategies for promoting changes in eating habits and increasing SWFRL, targeted at different family members.

如何对与食物相关的生活感到满意？双亲家庭中父母与青春期子女的比较

摘要 食物相关生活满意度（SWFRL）是生活满意度的一个组成部分。尽管研究人员已经确定了对与食物相关的生活的满意度与特定食物行为之间的关联，但仍不清楚消费者如何概念化这种复杂的结构。本研究的目的是探索消费者对 SWFRL 的概念化，比较双亲家庭中的父母和青少年如何看待 SWFRL，并确定会增加他们 SWFRL 的方面。由母亲、父亲和至少一名 10 至 17 岁青少年儿童组成的一百六十四个双重家庭参与了这项研究。他们完成了“对与食物有关的生活感到满意”的单词联想任务，并完成了“如果……我会对与食物有关的生活更满意”这句话。参与者的回答与 SWFRL 的正式定义一致。联想任务中也提到了对特定食物和食物特征的引用。在提及与确定的类别和超类别相关的回答的频率方面，父母和青少年之间没有发现显着差异，这表明他们对 SWFRL 的概念化缺乏差异。饮食行为的变化和个人购买和准备食物的资源被认为是可能增加 SWFRL 的主要因素。在与 SWFRL 增加相关的一些方面发现了家庭成员之间的差异。这项研究的结果有助于制定针对不同家庭成员的促进饮食习惯改变和增加 SWFRL 的策略。
