	Authoritarian (n = 72)	Authoritative (n = 40)	Indulgent (n = 86)	Uninvolved (n = 47)
Structure superfactor	2.8^b	3.1^a	3.0^a	2.8^b
Limit Exposure	2.6^b	2.9^a	2.8^ab	2.6^b
Consistent feeding routines	3.0^b	3.3^a	3.1^ab	3.0^b
Control superfactor	1.9^a	1.8^a	1.5^b	1.4^b
Restriction	1.9^a	1.9^a	1.4^b	1.7^ab
Pressure to eat	1.9^a	1.6^b	1.3^c	1.3^c

^a,b,c Means sharing a common superscript are not significantly different at p < .05
Items scored on a 5-point Likert scale: 0 = never and 4 = always
