Abstract

Without validated measures of feeding-related guilt, researchers remain unable to assess its consequences for parents and children. We developed and validated the Guilt About Child Feeding (GACF) Scale with a Graded Response Model in the IRT framework. The GACF functions well psychometrically and is a reliable and valid measure.
