Predictors of parental discretionary choice provision using the health action process approach framework: Development and validation of a self ‐reported questionnaire for parents of 4–7‐year‐olds

ConclusionsInitial results from validation tests support the development of a new questionnaire for measuring parent attitudes and beliefs regarding provision of discretionary choices to their 4–7‐year‐old children within the home. This new questionnaire can be used to gain greater insight into parents’ attitudes and beliefs that influence ability to limit discretionary choices provision to children. Further research to expand understanding of the questionnaires’ psychometric properties would be valuable, including confirmatory factor analysis and reproducibility.
