Pre-treatment diet and exercise self-efficacies can predict weight loss success. Changes in diet self-efficacy across treatment appear to be even stronger predictors than baseline levels, but research on changes in exercise self-efficacy is lacking. Using data from a pilot study evaluating tangible reinforcement for weight loss (N=30), we examined the impact of changes in diet and exercise self-efficacy on outcomes. Multiple regression analyses indicated that treatment attendance and changes in exercise self-efficacy during treatment were the strongest predictors of weight loss. Developing weight loss programs that foster the development of exercise self-efficacy may enhance participants' success.
治疗前的饮食和运动自我效能可以预测减肥的成功。治疗过程中饮食自我效能的变化似乎比基线水平更能预测减肥效果,但关于运动自我效能变化的研究还很缺乏。本研究利用一项评估减肥有形强化的试点研究的数据(N=30),考察了饮食和运动自我效能的变化对减肥结果的影响。多元回归分析表明,治疗期间的治疗参与度和运动自我效能的变化是减肥的最强预测因素。开发能够促进运动自我效能发展的减肥项目可能会提高参与者的减肥成功率。
