Theoretical and Behavioral Mediators of a Weight Loss Intervention for Men.


ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:Men are currently underrepresented in weight loss trials despite similar obesity rates, which limit our understanding about the most effective elements of treatment for men. The purpose of this study was to test the theoretical (autonomous motivation, self-efficacy, outcome expectancies, and self-regulation) and behavioral (calorie intake, physical activity, self-weighing) mediators of a men-only, Internet-delivered weight loss intervention focused on innovative and tailored treatment elements specifically for men. METHOD:Data comes from a 6-month randomized trial (N?=?107) testing the intervention compared to a waitlist control group. Changes in the theoretical mediators between baseline and 3 months were tested as mediators of the intervention effect on weight change at 6 months in both single and multiple mediator models. Changes in behaviors between baseline and 6 months were tested in the same manner. RESULTS:The intervention produced greater weight losses compared to the control group (-5.57 kg?±?6.6 vs. -0.65 kg?±?3.3, p?
