The aim of this research is to gain a better understanding of the way parent confidence influences young people’s weight related behaviours, such as eating habits, physical activities and leisure activities. Learning about parent confidence is important; research has shown that parents are crucially influential on child weight behaviours. This research will increase our understanding of overweight and obesity in young people, and help develop better ways of assessing treatments.
Participants must be primary caregivers of children aged between 4 and 17 years.

The Relationship between Parenting Practices and Childrens Emotion-Regulation Abilities; A Cross-Cultural Study ::

Sneha Jethmalani, Roslyn Galligan
Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australiaansonline.c

In recent years, there has been an increasing amount of research exploring the relationship between the ways in which we express our emotions and how that impacts our relationships with others. In particular, previous research has looked at how parents thoughts and feelings about their own and their children's emotions and behaviours relates to children's awareness of their own emotions and emotions of others. We would like to invite you to participate in a study about parents thoughts on their emotions and their childrens emotions, and how cultures differ in these patterns. The aim of this study is to gain a better understanding of the factors that influence the ways in which children learn how to manage and express their emotions. The survey should take approximately 25 to 30 minutes to complete. We would truly appreciate your participation and honesty in your responses to the questions to enable us to understand the impact parents have on their childrens emotional functioning. We are seeking both mothers and teachers of children between the ages of 3 and 7 years to fill out the questionnaire. Mothers, if you choose to participate, you will be asked about your cultural orientation, your views and understanding of emotions, how you deal with your childrens emotions, and how they express their emotions. Your responses will be completely anonymous and confidential. Results of the study may be published in an academic journal, but only as group data, so that no individual will be identifiable. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. Your initial agreement to participate does not stop you from discontinuing participation and you are free to withdraw at any time. The submission of your questionnaire will be taken as consent for your data to be used in the study. Your interest in this study would be greatly appreciated.
