Descriptives and scale information of child eating behaviours and parenting style dimensions.

aAnswering scale A: never (1) to always (5); answering scale B: completely disagree (−2) to completely agree (+2).bThe reliability of the child eating behaviour scales was assessed by calculating Cronbach’s alphas (internal consistency) and (average) corrected item-total correlations, which indicate the degree to which an individual item relates to the total scale score. Corrected item-total correlations above 0.30 are regarded as good and below 0.15 as unreliable. Average corrected item-total correlations in our study were good and ranged from 0.56 to 0.71. None of the corrected item-total correlations was below 0.3 (lowest value was 0.37 for a Satiety Responsiveness-item).
