To describe the development of the Oxford Food and Activity Behaviors (OxFAB) taxonomy and questionnaire to explore the cognitive and behavioral strategies used by individuals during weight management attempts.
The taxonomy was constructed through a qualitative analysis of existing resources and a review of existing behavior change taxonomies and theories. The taxonomy was translated into a questionnaire to identify strategies used by individuals. Think-aloud interviews were conducted to test the face/concept validity of the questionnaire, and test-retest reliability was assessed in a sample of 138 participants.
The OxFAB taxonomy consists of 117 strategies grouped into 23 domains. Compared to taxonomies used to describe interventions, around half of the domains and strategies identified are unique to the OxFAB taxonomy. The OxFAB questionnaire consists of 117 questions, one for each strategy from the taxonomy. Test-retest resulted in a mean PABAK score of 0.61 (SD 0.15). Questions were revised where appropriate.
The OxFAB taxonomy and questionnaire provide a conceptual framework to identify the cognitive and behavioral strategies used by individuals during attempts at weight control.
描述牛津饮食与活动行为(OxFAB)分类法和问卷的开发过程,以探究个体在体重管理尝试期间所采用的认知和行为策略。
该分类法通过对现有资源的定性分析以及对现有行为改变分类法和理论的综述构建而成。该分类法被转化为一份问卷,以识别个体所采用的策略。进行了出声思考访谈以测试问卷的表面/概念效度,并在138名参与者的样本中评估了重测信度。
OxFAB分类法由117种策略组成,分为23个领域。与用于描述干预措施的分类法相比,所确定的领域和策略中约有一半是OxFAB分类法所独有的。OxFAB问卷由117个问题组成,分类法中的每个策略对应一个问题。重测得出的平均PABAK评分为0.61(标准差0.15)。在适当的地方对问题进行了修订。
OxFAB分类法和问卷提供了一个概念框架,以识别个体在体重控制尝试期间所采用的认知和行为策略。
