Evaluating the Validity and Reliability of the Feeding to Manage Child Behavior Questionnaire (FMCBQ) among Turkish Parents

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Food to Manage Child Behavior Questionnaire (FMCBQ-T). Materials and Methods: A total of 256 parents participated in the study, and the data were collected through a survey. Content validity was evaluated using the Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and the Content Validity Index (CVI). Construct validity was performed with Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Results: The majority of parents were between the ages of 31-40 (56.3%) and female (83.9%). The CVR was 1 for each item, and the CVI was 1 for the scale. The Turkish version of the scale was determined to have three factors and nine items, with factor loadings ranging from 0.63-0.90. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.84 for the total scale. CFA fit indices were found to be χ2/df=1.63, RMSEA=0.06, TLI=0.97, CFI=0.98, GFI=0.96, AGFI=0.92. Conclusion: FMCBQ-T is a valid and reliable tool for Turkish parents. Since it is known that the feeding style in childhood affects later years of life, FMCBQ-T is necessary to evaluate how parents use food to manage their children.
