“…The brief measures of self-efficacy used previously (e.g. Annesi, 2007; Steptoe et al, 2000; Van Duyn et al, 2001), however, have little or no supporting evidence of construct validity. Tests of factorial validity have been reserved for surveys with greater numbers of items (i.e.…”

Self-efficacy is a commonly included cognitive variable in weight-loss trials, but there is little uniformity in its measurement. Weight-loss trials frequently focus on physical activity (PA) and eating behavior, as well as weight loss, but no survey is available that offers reliable measurement of self-efficacy as it relates to each of these targeted outcomes. The purpose of this study was to test the psychometric properties of brief, pragmatic self-efficacy scales specific to PA, healthful eating and weight-loss (4 items each). An adult sample (n=1790) from 28 worksites enrolled in a worksite weight-loss program completed the self-efficacy scale, as well as measures of PA, dietary fat intake, and weight, at baseline, 6-, and 12-months. The hypothesized factor structure was tested through confirmatory factor analysis, which supported the expected factor structure for three latent self-efficacy factors, specific to PA, healthful eating, and weight-loss. Measurement equivalence/invariance between relevant demographic groups, and over time was also supported. Parallel growth processes in self-efficacy factors and outcomes (PA, fat intake, and weight) support the predictive validity of score interpretations. Overall, this initial series of psychometric analyses supports the interpretation that scores on these scales reflect self-efficacy for PA, healthful eating, and weight-loss. The use of this instrument in large-scale weight-loss trials is encouraged.

“…Studies demonstrated that fat intake was associated with lower self-efficacy and that self-efficacy is a better predictor of weight loss than other psychological parameters (Steptoe, Doherty, Kerry, Rink, & Hilton, 2000;Wamsteker et al, 2005). Selfefficacy is also closely related to goal setting.…”

Interpersonal and Self-regulation Determinants of Healthy and Unhealthy Eating Behavior in Adolescents

2010

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of interpersonal and personal factors on (un)healthy eating in adolescents. The study sample consisted of 473 adolescents. Regression analyses were conducted to examine the effect of family climate, peer influence and self-regulation cognitions (goal commitment, efficacy and ownership) on healthy and unhealthy eating. Self-regulation cognitions are positively related to healthy eating and negatively to unhealthy eating. We conclude that different aspects of family climate and peer influence are significantly related to both healthy and unhealthy eating. Interventions should be directed at self-regulation cognitions as well as at family and peer influence.

Key Words nutrition intervention, chronic disease preventions Abstract Changing dietary behaviors to prevent chronic disease has been an important research focus for the last 25 years. Here we present a review of published articles on the results of research to identify methods to change key dietary habits: fat intake, fiber intake, and consumption of fruits and vegetables. We divided the research reviewed into sections, based on the channel through which the intervention activities were delivered. We conclude that the field is making progress in identifying successful dietary change strategies, but that more can be learned. Particularly, we need to transfer some of the knowledge from the individual-based trials to community-level interventions. Also, more research with rigorous methodology must be done to test current and future intervention options. INTRODUCTION Rationale for Changing Dietary Behaviors to Prevent DiseaseDifferences in people's dietary intake are thought to account for more variation in cancer incidence than any other factor, including cigarette smoking (112,123). Most of the supporting scientific evidence comes from observational studies, including aggregate population studies (52,80). Carefully conducted epidemiological observational studies, both prospective and case-control, show repeatedly that dietary factors are associated with several chronic diseases, including coronary heart disease, some types of cancer, stroke, and non-insulin dependent diabetes, and thereby contribute substantially to the burden of preventable illness (31, 36, 41,48,49,54,59,67,79,86,89,94,101,111,118,122). Although there are exceptions (37,51,63,64,93,102,121), these studies are consistent in pointing to the roles of fat, fruits, and vegetables. However, a recent randomized controlled trial of low-fat, high-fiber dietary intervention failed to find benefit in lowering incidence of recurrent adenomas (88 Rationale for the Literature ReviewMany investigators have designed, implemented, and evaluated dietary change interventions targeting these critical nutrients. Although some changes have been made in the general public, the levels of fat, fruit, and vegetable consumption still fall short of goals in the areas of dietary fat intake and daily servings of fruits and vegetables, for example (55). We must identify successful methods of changing dietary behaviors to prevent disease in order to implement them as part of standard public health and primary care medical practice. Several reviews have been published in the past 15 years on the best methods of intervening in dietary behaviors in several areas of public health activity, such as cholesterol-lowering trials (107), worksites (38), patient education (92), cardiovascular disease prevention trials (23, 113), interventions in whole communities (42), and environmental influences (34). However, this disparate literature has not been pulled together. We have conducted this information synthesis to fill in this gap. Criteria for the Literature SearchWe used an initial e...
