During each feeding bout of a focal animal, we recorded species and types of food eaten along with duration of feeding on that particular food item.
Questions were asked about the frequency of feeding all non-breast milk items and reasons for any non-EBF.
As an index of feeding specialization, we subtracted the number of successful strikes on benthic items from the number of successful strikes on limnetic items.
Factor analysis of the YCFQ yielded ten factors consisting of 28 items, and feeding attitudes, feeding behaviors, feeding environment, food preference of children were involved in ten factors.
A single factor structure was also revealed for the five items of emotional feeding, in which the factor explained 56.74% of variance with eigenvalue = 5.84.
The overall Cronbach's alpha for all 27 items was 0.75.> Factor analysis revealed a single factor for the four items of instrumental feeding which accounted for 47.72% of variance (eigenvalue = 1.91).
Each of three items (expression, feeding, and locomotion) includes four possible levels of function ranging from total dependence (1) to independence (4).
This instrument consists of six items (toileting, feeding, dressing, grooming, physical ambulation and bathing).
12 The Physical Self-Maintenance Scale (PSMS) 18 consists of six items: toilet, feeding, dressing, grooming, physical ambulation, and bathing.
The equation used the data from the rated items to estimate a total score within the range of the total IADL scale. 2 The Physical Self-Maintenance Scale (PSMS) 23 consists of six items: toileting; feeding; dressing; grooming; physical ambulation; and bathing.
