The resulting model describes five interacting constructs through which siblings may exert direct or indirect influence over how children are socialised around food during toddler and preschool years. Novel findings include identification of feeding practices used by siblings, such as pressure to eat and overt restriction, which had previously been described only in parents, as well as parent feeding practices that occur only in the presence of a sibling, such as vicarious operant conditioning. Limitations include a sample confined mostly to white, educated, two-parent families and the absence of repeat interviews and member checking due to feasibility constraints, which may limit transferability across different family cultures and structures.
