Abstract

|
|
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of eating habits and food preferences on the adoptive behavior
of children with intellectual disabilities. Survey questionnaires were distributed to six special education schools located in the Daegu-Kyungbuk area, and data were collected from 552 families and teachers with intellectually disabled students.
Identification of eating habits began with a factor analysis, and the results were a five-factor solution. Among the five
patterns, factors 1 and 2 were significantly related with behavior problems of intellectually disabled children. Further, food
preferences of the children were significantly related with adoptive behavior problems. The findings of this study clearly
indicate that eating habits as well as food preferences are important factors in identifying adoptive behavior problems in
intellectually disabled children. Based on the findings of this study, similarities and differences in eating habits are discussed, and implications for children are provided.
