Resnicow & Vaughn challenged the field of behavioral nutrition and physical activity to conduct research in new ways. They challenged the predictiveness of our models, sensitivity to initial conditions, factors predisposing to change and measurement procedures. While the predictiveness of our models will reflect the sophistication of our thinking and research, and the sensitivity to initial conditions is subsumed under the sophistication of our models, research on conditions predisposing to change (e.g. epiphanies), more longitudinal designs, refined measurement procedures and testing of critical issues can only enhance the quality of our research. Improved research quality should lead to enhanced efficacy and effectiveness of our interventions, and thereby our making meaningful contributions to mitigating the chaos in our field and the crisis from the rising epidemic of obesity.
雷斯尼科夫和沃恩对行为营养与身体活动领域提出挑战,要求以新的方式开展研究。他们对我们模型的预测性、对初始条件的敏感性、促成改变的因素以及测量程序提出了质疑。虽然我们模型的预测性将反映我们思维和研究的复杂性,对初始条件的敏感性包含在我们模型的复杂性之中,但对促成改变的条件(如顿悟)的研究、更多的纵向设计、完善的测量程序以及对关键问题的测试只会提高我们研究的质量。研究质量的提高应能提升我们干预措施的效力和效果,从而使我们为缓解本领域的混乱局面以及肥胖症流行加剧所引发的危机做出有意义的贡献。
