Relationship between motivations and dietary behaviours within parent–adolescent dyads: Application of actor–partner interdependence models
Authors' conclusion
Autonomous motivation had a significant relationship with F/V and JF/SSB intake for both parents and adolescents, but the association varied depending on the adolescents' weight. Personalized programmes that foster autonomous motivation to change dietary behaviours should be provided based on the adolescents' weight status.

Primary result
As reported in the abstract
- F/V and JF/SSB intake influenced by parents' or adolescents' autonomous motivation (actor-only pattern), except among adolescents with obesity
- Dyadic pattern between autonomous motivation and F/V and JF/SSB intake only among adolescents with normal weight
- No relationship between F/V and JF/SSB controlled motivation and F/V or JF/SSB intake among adolescents with overweight or obesity
