Multimethod assessment of parenting strategies for managing early adolescents' social media use
Parents influence their children's media habits, yet parenting research has lagged behind the growing influence of social media. This study characterized how parents perceive and implement social media-specific strategies with early adolescents. A total of 102 parents of adolescents (ages 12-15), recruited from primary care clinics and online advertisements, completed baseline assessments, including parent-child interaction tasks and qualitative …
Characterizing Adolescent Social Media Experiences and Links to Momentary Affect
INTRODUCTION: Social media (SM) use is ubiquitous among adolescents, and questions remain regarding the impact of SM on youths' emotional health. Understanding what adolescents are experiencing on SM is critical for answering these questions. METHODS: The present study uses ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to characterize SM experiences (SMEs) over 15 days in 94 U.S. adolescents ages 12-15 years (53% female, 64% White). At each EMA observati…
An explanation for the accuracy of sensor-based measures of energy intake
Meaning making as a moderator in international students' acculturative experience
International students (IS) face unique challenges when attending higher education institutions in the United States that derive from acculturative stress and contribute to feelings of loneliness and depressive symptoms. This study examined the sense of meaning as a moderator in the relationship between acculturative stress, loneliness, and depressive symptoms in IS. A quantitative research design using a linear multiple regression model was empl…
Characterizing emotional eating
Combining passive eating monitoring and ecological momentary assessment to characterize dietary lapses from a lifestyle modification intervention
Dietary lapses (i.e., specific instances of nonadherence to recommended dietary goals) contribute to suboptimal weight loss outcomes during lifestyle modification programs. Passive eating monitoring could enhance lapse measurement via objective assessment of eating characteristics that could be markers for lapse (e.g., more bites consumed). The purpose of this study was to evaluate if passively-inferred eating characteristics (i.e., bites, eating…
Identifying behavioral types of dietary lapse from a mobile weight loss program
Self-stigma and weight loss
This study sought to examine whether two facets of weight self-stigma (fear of enacted stigma and self-devaluation) were associated with weight change and treatment engagement for 188 individuals participating in a 3-month online weight loss program. Fear of enacted stigma predicted less weight loss 3 months later after controlling for demographics, eating problems, and psychological symptoms. Self-devaluation did not predict weight loss. Neither…
Understanding cognitive and emotional illness representations of South Asian head and neck cancer survivors
This study underscores the significance of offering tailored tobacco cessation services to South Asian HNC survivors, and to help inform supportive models of care for others
Examining the pattern of new foods and beverages consumed during obesity treatment to inform strategies for self-monitoring intake
Using ecological momentary assessment to better understand dietary lapse types
Frequency of lapsing from a diet predicts weight loss failure, however previous studies have only utilized one definition of dietary lapse. No study has examined different types of lapse behaviors among individuals with overweight/obesity. The current study uses ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to examine predictors of three lapse types-eating a larger portion than intended, eating an unintended type of food, and eating at an unplanned time-…
Exploring process variables through which acceptance-based behavioral interventions may improve weight loss maintenance
Identifying the mechanisms through which behavioral weight-loss treatment improves food decision-making in obesity
Weight loss intervention for individuals with high internal disinhibition
ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01461421 (registered October 25, 2011)
Obesity in sub-Saharan Africa
The prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). There is a need for theoretical frameworks to catalyze further research and to inform the development of multi-level, context-appropriate interventions. In this commentary, we propose a preliminary ecological theoretical framework to conceptualize factors that contribute to increases in overweight and obesity in SSA. The framework is based on a Causality Continuum…
Improving Weight Loss Outcomes of Community Interventions by Incorporating Behavioral Strategies
Objectives. We examined whether adding behavioral weight loss strategies could improve the outcomes of a community weight loss campaign. Methods. Shape Up RI is a 12-week, online, team-based program for health improvement in Rhode Island. In study 1, we randomly assigned participants to the standard Shape Up RI program or to the program plus video lessons on weight loss. In study 2, we randomly assigned participants to the standard program or to …
The Power of Food Scale. A new measure of the psychological influence of the food environment
Evaluating Iatrogenic Risk of Youth Suicide Screening Programs
CONTEXT: Universal screening for mental health problems and suicide risk is at the forefront of the national agenda for youth suicide prevention, yet no study has directly addressed the potential harm of suicide screening. OBJECTIVE: To examine whether asking about suicidal ideation or behavior during a screening program creates distress or increases suicidal ideation among high school students generally or among high-risk students reporting depr…
