{"title":"Examination of Gender Differences: Causal Attributions of Treatment-Seeking Individuals With Overweight and Obesity.","authors":"Carmen Henning, Caroline Seiferth, Tanja Färber, Magdalena Pape, Stephan Herpertz, Sabine Steins-Loeber, Jörg Wolstein","doi":"10.32872/cpe.12089","DOIUrl":"10.32872/cpe.12089","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>Addressing patients' perceptions of the causes of their overweight and obesity may be a promising approach to enhance treatment motivation and success. Previous research suggests that there are gender differences in these aspects.
