Predictors of dieting and non-dieting approaches among adults living in Australia

Abstract: BackgroundThere is a dearth of research comparing why dieting and non-dieting approaches are adopted. A greater understanding of reasons underlying dieting and non-dieting attempts will help to identify target beliefs for interventions to support and motivate adults to attempt whatever approach they are willing and/or able to pursue. We investigated the predictors of dieting and non-dieting approaches in Australian adults using predictors that were identified in a previous qualitative study.MethodsWe conducted… Show more

“…Likewise, TPB has been widely applied on health related programs/ interventions to study a person's cognition response and to provide an intensive understanding of the reasons why a person performs or fails to perform that specific behavioural tendency (Kopelowicz et al, 2015;Mutua, Pertet, & Otieno, 2017;Narmawan, Syahrul, & Erika, 2018). Empirical studies reviewed that, a person are likely to engage into a particular behaviour only if, he/she perceives it as favourable (positive outcome expectancy) and vice versa (Kalolo & Kibusi, 2015;Leske, Strodl, & Hou, 2017;Mtenga, Exavery, Kakoko, & Geubbels, 2015).…”

“…The mean score of all articles was 2.9 on the scale from 1 to 5 based on the depth, complexity, and multi-dimensionality of the measures used. In total, 10 studies scored a “1” [ 6 , 36 , 37 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 104 , 111 , 112 ]; 29 scored a “2”, indicating the use of 1–2 basic questions about identity [ 42 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 60 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 84 , 85 , 87 , 88 , 96 , 97 , 100 , 102 , 103 , 113 , 114 , 115 , 116 , 117 , 118 , 119 , 120 , 121 , 122 , 139 ]; 30 received a score of “3” for their use of a common but short and non-complex identity instrument [ 29 , 33 , 36 , 39 , 40 , 47 , 49 , 62 , 73 , 74 ,…”

“…There was no consistent definition or type of identity among the articles reviewed ( Table 2 ). Definitions of identity were predominantly derived from the foundational IT and/or SIT, with many studies directly introducing these theories [ 39 , 41 , 47 , 48 , 57 , 62 , 65 , 74 , 77 , 78 , 86 , 89 , 91 , 92 , 94 , 97 , 100 , 106 , 107 , 120 , 136 ]. The most common type of identity was one that was created for the behavior in question ( n = 36), structured similarly to “I think of myself as a healthy eater”, “eating less junk food is important to me”, or “I am the type of person who watches what I eat”.…”

“…Extrapolating the above evidence, we suggest that if individuals find it is easy to rely on their internal signals to self-regulate their eating, they are more likely to do so. Some preliminary evidence suggest that higher eating self-efficacy is associated with higher scores on intuitive eating (78) , and self-efficacy has been found to be a predictor of non-dieting behaviour (79) . Furthermore, we expect that there are individual differences in how easy it is for people to start eating only when feeling physically hungry and to stop eating when feeling comfortably satiated.…”
