Zusammenfassung:Extract: A study was made of 134 infants at 3 and 9 months of age to determine possible behavioral causes of fatness. A feeding behaviors interview and a semantic differential to measure mothers' attutudes toward food were developed. A stepwise multiple regression procedure revealed that none of the independent variables significantly predicted the dependent variable of infant triceps skinfold thickness at the age of 9 months. Even so, care should be exercised in instructing caregivers concerning specific feeding behaviors to use with infants. (author)
