ABSTRACT

Using a questionnaire survey, this study examined Latinx mothers’ (n = 72) perception of Latinx grandparents’ involvement in children’s physical activity. Data were collected about a specific child (i.e., focal child) and a specific grandparent who spent the most time with the focal child (i.e., focal grandparent). Results showed that mothers perceived a substantive level of grandparental support for child’s physical activity and a small-to-moderate level of disagreement with grandparent in child’s physical activity. Mother-grandparent disagreement negatively affected grandparent’s support, which in turn positively affected child’s physical activity. Socio-demographic and household-related correlates of mother-grandparent disagreement and grandparent’s support were also examined.

摘要

本研究使用问卷调查调查了拉丁裔母亲（n = 72）对拉丁裔祖父母参与儿童体育活动的看法。收集了关于特定孩子（即焦点孩子）和与焦点孩子在一起时间最多的特定祖父母（即焦点祖父母）的数据。结果表明，母亲认为祖父母对孩子的体育活动有实质性的支持，而在孩子的体育活动方面与祖父母存在小到中度的分歧。祖父母的分歧对祖父母的支持产生负面影响，而祖父母的支持反过来又对孩子的身体活动产生积极影响。还检查了母亲与祖父母分歧和祖父母支持的社会人口和家庭相关相关性。
