Extending a behavioral pathway from increased exercise to improved eating and weight loss via serial mediation analyses to inform obesity treatment in women
Introduction
Behavioral methods attempting to reduce weight have largely failed beyond the very short term. Research suggests an inadequate understanding of the dynamics of psychosocial changes occurring within treatment processes, and how exercise plays a part well-beyond its minor direct effect on weight in adults with obesity.
Objective
This study aimed to clarify psychosocial predictors of weight loss to inform behavioral obesity treatments.
Method
Women with obesity (N = 103) participating in an original cognitive-behavioral treatment within community-based health promotion centers were evaluated over 6, 12, and 24 months. Two serial mediation models were specified assessing effects emanating from changes in theory-driven psychosocial variables.
Results
Treatment-associated effects on the tested psychosocial and behavioral variables were large to very large. Within the serial mediation analyses, the exercise→dietary change relationship was significantly mediated by paths from changes in negative mood→emotional eating→eating-related self-efficacy, and changes in exercise-related self-regulation→eating-related self-regulation→eating-related self-efficacy. Across those two mediation models, relationships of negative mood change→exercise-related self-regulation change, and eating-related self-regulation change→emotional eating change, were also significant. Dietary improvement significantly predicted reductions in body mass index over 6, 12, and 24 months with weight losses of 6.1%, 5.9%, and 5.0%.
Conclusion
Based on findings, suggestions were made for the identified theory-driven processes to be applied in behavioral obesity treatments.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the Revue européenne de Psychologie appliquée / European Review of Applied Psychology is to promote high-quality applications of psychology to all areas of specialization, and to foster exchange among researchers and professionals. Its policy is to attract a wide range of contributions, including empirical research, overviews of target issues, case studies, descriptions of instruments for research and diagnosis, and theoretical work related to applied psychology. In all cases, authors will refer to published and verificable facts, whether established in the study being reported or in earlier publications.
