This study investigated whether husband participation would augment the effectieness of the Sturart & Davis (1972) weight-reduction program for 37 obese women. Following a five-week baseline period, participants were taught behavioral weight-control techniques in eight 90-minute sessions over a 16-week period. Random assignment was made to conditions that required husbands to participate in all treatment sessions, the first four sessions, or not at all. Results indicated that although women in all three conditions lost significant amounts of weight and developed more adaptive eating habits, husband involvement fostered reliably greater weight loss, which was maintained through a six-week post-treatment assessment. Participant husbands became more accurate observers of changes in their wives' eating habits and were viewed as being more helpful than were noninvolved husbands. A three-year follow-up indicated that the wives had maintained their initial weight losses and reported changes in eating habits, while the effects engendered by husband involvement had dissipated.
本研究调查了丈夫的参与是否会增强斯图尔特和戴维斯（1972年）为37名肥胖女性制定的减肥计划的效果。在为期五周的基线期之后，参与者在16周的时间里通过八个90分钟的课程学习行为体重控制技巧。随机分配到要求丈夫参加所有治疗课程、前四个课程或完全不参加的条件组。结果表明，尽管所有三个条件组的女性都减掉了大量体重并养成了更具适应性的饮食习惯，但丈夫的参与确实促进了更多的体重减轻，并且在为期六周的治疗后评估中体重得以维持。参与的丈夫对妻子饮食习惯的变化观察得更准确，并且被认为比未参与的丈夫更有帮助。三年的随访表明，妻子们保持了最初减掉的体重，并报告了饮食习惯的变化，而丈夫参与所产生的影响已经消失。
