We examined the impact of paternal rejection (based on father’s and children’s reports) on the children’s emotional eating behavior and if child psychological maladjustment mediated this relationship. Three hundred sixty-nine dyads of fathers and children were screened using self-report measures of demographic data, parental rejection, child psychological maladjustment, and disordered eating behavior. Children’s subjective perceptions of relationship with father have more impact on their psychological outcomes and unhealthy dietary patterns than father reported parenting quality. Children’s unhealthy psychological adjustment may be an essential underlying mechanism linking perceived paternal rejection of children’s emotional eating behaviors.

父亲排斥、心理失调和儿童情绪化饮食：8-11岁男孩和女孩的路径分析

我们研究了父亲的排斥（基于父亲和孩子的报告）对孩子情绪化饮食行为的影响，以及孩子心理失调是否介导了这种关系。使用人口统计数据、父母拒绝、儿童心理失调和饮食行为紊乱的自我报告测量方法对 369 对父子进行了筛查。与父亲报告的养育质量相比，儿童对与父亲关系的主观看法对他们的心理结果和不健康的饮食模式的影响更大。儿童不健康的心理调整可能是联系感知到的父亲对儿童情绪化饮食行为的排斥的重要潜在机制。
