Demandingness and Responsiveness Scores by State at Baseline in the Niños Sanos Study, North Carolina, 2011–2014 · (n=237). Note. Each state can be characterized in terms of demandingness and responsiveness. Demandingness scores > 2.80 (dotted line) can be considered “high,” and responsiveness scores > 1.16 (dashed line) can also be considered “high.” For example, a state that features a high level of demandingness and low level of responsiveness, such as state 3, is considered to be authoritarian in nature. State 1 = low levels of parent-centered feeding and moderate levels of child-centered feeding, State 2 = high levels of parent and child-centered feeding, with the absence of physically struggling to get the child to eat, State 3 = high levels of both parent and child-centered feeding, and State 4 = moderate usage of both parent and child-centered feeding strategies.
