(In)Congruences in parent-adolescent reports of physical activity parenting practices: associations with adolescent physical activity.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Informant discrepancies in physical activity parenting practices (PAPP) are prevalent, but their effect on adolescent physical activity (PA) remains underexplored. This study aims to examine the relationship between the (in)congruence in the parent-adolescent reports of PAPP and adolescent physical activity (PA).

Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect perceptions on nine types of PAPP and adolescents' PA levels from 373 Chinese parent-adolescent dyads.
