Background: Research on coaction suggests improvements in physical activity and emotional eating will occur in a reciprocal manner. Aims: To determine if changes in body satisfaction mediate relations between physical activity and emotional eating changes and if age affects degree of change in those variables. Method: Groups of early adult (n =…

Age and race/ethnicity (African American vs. White) might moderate such change. Obese women (N…

Annesi, James J.; Unruh, Jennifer L.; Marti, C. Nathan; Gorjala, Srinivasa; Tennant, Gisele – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2011
The link between physical activity and weight loss has precipitated interest in interventions to foster adherence to exercise. It has been suggested that treatment effects, when significant, should be analyzed to determine theory-based mediators. This research assessed possible mediation of changes in Physical Self-Concept, Exercise Self-Efficacy,…

Annesi, James J.; Whitaker, Ann C. – Health Education & Behavior, 2010
The behavioral processes of weight reduction are poorly understood, and responses to treatments based primarily on caloric restriction have been unfavorable. A theory-based path derived from proposed relations of physical activity, changes in psychological factors, and weight loss was separately tested with women with Class I and Class II obesity…
