Values for parents are based on published data from. in a sample of 130 Hispanic and 101 African American parents (Hughes et al., 2005); Standard deviations for these scales were not reported in the Hughes sample. Therefore, Cohen’s d cannot be reported for these comparisons. Comparisons were made using one-sample t-tests to assess for differences between educators in this study and parents in published samples within each feeding style. Significance is noted above:
