Treatments for obesity focused on improving self-regulation, self-efficacy, and mood demonstrated promise for inducing maintained weight loss. However, they might be improved if tailored to subjects' psychological predispositions.
The study sample was of women (N = 139) with obesity (body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m). After classification of the subjects as low self-regulation (n = 23), high negative mood (n = 16), high emotional eating (n = 24), low body satisfaction (n = 25), and no predisposition (n = 51), multiple regression models were fit.
Changes in self-regulation, self-efficacy, and mood over 3 months significantly predicted 6-month change in weight (R = 0.17-0.50). Except for the negative mood grouping, changes in self-regulation contributed most strongly to the explained variances in weight loss.
Findings contributed to the limited research on tailoring obesity treatments to individual psychological characteristics. Regardless of characteristics, the value of increasing self-regulatory skills to address lifestyle barriers and improving mood through increased physical activity was indicated.
以改善自我调节、自我效能感和情绪为重点的肥胖治疗方法在诱导持续体重减轻方面显示出前景。然而，如果根据受试者的心理倾向进行调整，这些方法可能会得到改进。
研究样本为患有肥胖症（体重指数≥30kg/m）的女性（N = 139）。在将受试者分为低自我调节组（n = 23）、高负面情绪组（n = 16）、高情绪化饮食组（n = 24）、低身体满意度组（n = 25）和无倾向组（n = 51）后，拟合多元回归模型。
3个月内自我调节、自我效能感和情绪的变化显著预测了6个月时的体重变化（R = 0.17 - 0.50）。除了负面情绪分组外，自我调节的变化对体重减轻的解释方差贡献最大。
研究结果为针对个体心理特征定制肥胖治疗方法的有限研究做出了贡献。无论个体特征如何，都表明了提高自我调节技能以应对生活方式障碍以及通过增加体育活动改善情绪的价值。
