Analysis of mediation and reciprocal effects of changes in weight, self-esteem,...

Improving the treatment of obesity remains a critical challenge. Several health behaviour change models, often based on a social-cognitive framework, have been used to design weight management interventions (Baranowski et al., 2003).

Exercise constitutes one of the pillars of a healthy lifestyle (USDHHS, 1996). Paradoxically, more than 40% of Europeans are sedentary (Eurobarometer 213, 2004), although some interventions, at both community and individual levels, have been established to improve this situation. Some of these interventions are based on Self-Determination Theory (SDT: Deci & Ryan, 1985), which state that more internaliz...

Predictors of Successful Weight Control: Cross-Cultural Moderators of Treatment...

Given the heterogeneity of effect sizes within the population for any treatment, identifying moderators of outcomes is critical [1].
