Abstract

Before starting a behavioral weight control program and after 6 months of treatment, 93 participants were asked to listen to 4 scenarios describing typical high risk situations for dieters (family celebration, watching TV, tension at work, argument). The number of coping responses generated, latency of responses, and perceived risk of lapsing were assessed; participants also identified which situation would be most difficult for them. Telephone interviews were conducted during the weight loss program to assess situations surrounding actual dietary lapses. Participants who rated the negative affect situations as most difficult were more likely to lapse in situations involving negative affect; 87% of these participants lapsed in association with negative affect. Moreover, participants who generated coping responses to more of the situations subsequently lost more weight. Thus, baseline performance on a hypothetical high risk task predicts subsequent performances in a behavioral weight loss program.

  • Drapkin et al. (1995) reported that out of four hypothetical high risk situations, participants perceived a family mealtime celebration as the time they would be most likely to overeat.

    “Given these factors it is hardly surprising that Drapkin et al. (1995) reported than out of four hypothetical high risk situations participants perceived a family mealtime celebration (which includes a holiday meal) as the time they would be most likely to overeat [17].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
