      ab: A study investigated the differences between European Americans and African-Americans in the relationship between child obesity and disrupted parenting. Four dimensions of parenting behavior—warmth, monitoring, use of inductive reasoning, and problem solving—were examined using data from two community based samples of European American and African-American early adolescents and their parents. Findings supported the hypotheses that European American parents would exhibit a decline in the quality of parenting they provided to their overweight children, whereas African-American parents would display little or no effect; and this pattern would be in keeping with African-Americans' more moderate and less stigmatizing attitudes toward weight relative to European Americans. Findings are discussed in detail.
