Path coefficients, (standard errors), and values representing the association of authoritative parenting style through three food-related patenting practices (mealtime structural practices, parent modeling of healthy food, and household food rules) on diet quality (HEI-2010 score) (N=143), servings of fruit and vegetables (N=142), and daily added sugar (N=143) in 8–12 year old children. Intermediary variables are numbered 1, 2, and 3 and are represented in the b pathways for each outcome. Direct effects for authoritative parenting style and diet quality (HEI-2010 score), servings of fruit and vegetables, and daily added sugar are represented by c’ below each outcome variable. *p < .05; **p < .01; ***p < .001; NS=nonsignificant.
