摘要

本研究是要探討目前學齡前幼兒家長在食物選擇上「食物風險之認知」及「健康飲食之行為」的情形，以及幼兒飲料零食攝取與幼兒情緒調節之關係。主要目的有以下三點：瞭解現今家長在食物選擇上的情形、家長食物選擇與幼兒飲料零食攝取之關係、及幼兒飲料零食攝取與幼兒情緒調節之關係。
研究採用問卷調查方式。研究對象係以苗栗縣國民小學附設幼兒園101學年度第二學期之幼兒家長為主，共發出520份家長問卷，回收有效問卷398份，有效樣本率76.54％。
根據研究結果，獲得以下之結論：
本研究之迴歸模型顯示，家長食物選擇之「食物風險認知」對幼兒「注意力專注」、「抑制控制」、「知覺敏感度」、「衝動控制」四構面之情緒調節能力並無顯著預測力。但，家長食物選擇之「健康飲食行為」對幼兒「注意力專注」、「抑制控制」、「知覺敏感度」、「衝動控制」四構面之情緒調節能力有顯著預測力。另外，家長食物風險認知對幼兒飲料零食攝取並無預測性；但，家長健康飲食行為則可預測幼兒飲料零食攝取。
在幼兒飲料零食攝取對幼兒情緒調節關係之研究結果顯示，家長健康飲食行為比食物風險認知更能預測幼兒飲料零食攝取。若幼兒飲料零食攝取越低，幼兒的「注意力專注」、「抑制控制」、及「衝動控制」情緒調節能力會越佳；而「知覺敏感度」與幼兒飲料零食攝取的頻率並無顯著關係。
根據以上研究結果，建議家長除了有良好的飲食健康認知外，更重要的是能實際落實健康的飲食行為，以建立幼兒正確的良好飲食習慣，讓幼兒能夠在健康的飲食環境下成長。

This research aims to explore how the parents of preschool infants, at present, in aspect of food choice, conduct their food risk perception and the behavior of healthy diet, and also to explore the relationship between infants’ beverage-and-snack intake and infants’ emotion regulation. The main purposes are to understand, nowadays, how parents select food; the relationship between parents’ food choices and infants’ beverage-and-snack intake; and the relationship between infants’ beverage-and-snack intake and emotion regulation.
The research method involved survey questionnaires. A total of 520 parents from the affiliated kindergartens of primary schools in Miaoli County were selected to participate in this research for questionnaire survey. The total responses are 398 questionnaires and the effective sample rate is 76.54%.

The major findings suggested as below:

The regression model of this research showed that in terms of food choices, parents’ food risk perception did not have a significant predictive ability to the aspects of infants’ emotion regulation which include “focused attention”, “inhibitory control”, “perceptual sensitivity”, and “impulse control”. But on contrary, when doing food choices, the behavior of parents’ healthy diet did have a significant predictive ability to infants’ “focused attention”, “inhibitory control”, “perceptual sensitivity”, and “impulse control”. In addition, parents’ food risk perception did not have any prediction about infants’ beverage and snack intake; nonetheless, the behavior of parents’ healthy diet did contribute prediction about infants’ beverage and snack intake.

In regard to the research on the impact of infants’ beverage and snack intake on emotion regulation, the results indicated that the behavior of parents’ healthy diet obtained more powerful predictive ability to infants’ beverage and snack intake than their food risk perception. The lower the infants’ beverage and snack intake, the better the infants’ focused attention and inhibitory control as well as infants’ impulse control. However, there was no significant correlation between perceptual sensitivity and the frequency of infants’ beverage and snack intake.

According to this research''s suggestion, except a good perception of healthy diet, the more important thing is parents should practically fulfill the behavior of healthy diet so as to establish infants'' accurate diet behavior and habit and raise their children under a healthy diet environment.
