ABSTRACT
A large amount of studies have shown that parenting behaviours play an important role for children’s engagement in physical activities. However, the role of children’s perception of parenting behaviours and the way parenting behaviours interact with personal factors (e.g. self-efficacy) are not well established. We examined the differences between children’s and parents’ perception of parental support, the relationship to children’s physical activity, and the role of children’s and parent’s self-efficacy. Two hundred eighty-three parent–child dyads (children: 51.9% female, age: M = 10.74 years, SD = 1.34) filled out questionnaires on children’s physical activity, perceptions of parental support, and self-efficacy. The agreement between child and parent reports were quantified using the intra-class correlation coefficient. Path analysis and structural equation modelling were performed to analyse the interrelations. Agreement between children’s and parents’ perception of parental support was poor. Path analysis revealed that only children’s perception is associated with their physical activity. Parents’ self-efficacy beliefs are related to children’s and parents’ perceptions of parental support and indirectly to children’s physical activity. The results emphasize the importance of integrating both parents’ and children’s variables as well as parent–child variables in dyadic models to enhance the understanding of family environmental influences on children’s health-related behaviours.

父母和孩子对自我效能感和父母支持的感知与孩子的身体活动有关:亲子对的横断面研究
摘要
大量研究表明,育儿行为对儿童参与体育活动起着重要作用。然而,儿童对养育行为的看法以及养育行为与个人因素(例如自我效能)相互作用的方式尚未得到很好的确立。我们检查了儿童和父母对父母支持的看法之间的差异,与儿童身体活动的关系,以及儿童和父母自我效能感的作用。283 父子二人组(子女:51.9% 女性,年龄:M = 10.74 岁,SD = 1.34) 填写了关于儿童身体活动、父母支持感和自我效能感的问卷。使用类内相关系数量化孩子和父母报告之间的一致性。进行路径分析和结构方程建模以分析相互关系。儿童和父母对父母支持的看法之间的一致性很差。路径分析显示,只有儿童的感知与他们的身体活动有关。父母的自我效能信念与孩子和父母对父母支持的看法有关,并间接与孩子的身体活动有关。
