The findings indicated that parents' beliefs, child characteristics and parents' feeding behaviours contribute to children's food preferences. In particular, parents' self-efficacy beliefs and beliefs about why children reject foods on the one hand, and children's food neophobia on the other hand appear to influence children's everyday food preferences.
