Does Depression Cause Obesity: A Meta-analysis of Longitudinal Studies of Depression and Weight Control
To evaluate the causal effects of depression on obesity, longitudinal tests of the effect of depression on follow-up obesity status were meta-analyzed. Combining data from 16 studies the results confirmed that, after controlling for potential confounding variables, depressed compared to nondepressed people were at significantly higher risk for developing obesity. The risk among depressed people for later obesity was particularly high for adolesce…
Weight Loss Treatment and Psychological Well-being: A Review and Meta-analysis
Research suggests that weight loss treatment generally benefits psychological well-being but these effects have never been quantitatively reviewed. A meta-analysis of 117 weight loss treatment tests showed that weight loss treatment was associated with lowered depression and increased self-esteem. Treatment type moderated treatment effects on depression and self-esteem. Actual weight loss moderated treatment effects on self-esteem but not depress…

Believing is Seeing: Religiousness and Perceptual Expertise
Religiousness, as a chronically accessible cognitive construct, was assumed to be associated with perceptual expertise. Personal religion was expected to facilitate performance on a lexical decision task involving religious and nonreligious words. Participants made word/nonword judgments of trigrams of religious and nonreligious content. Religious, compared to nonreligious, participants made faster and more accurate judgments of the religious, co…

Belief in U.S. Government Conspiracies Against Blacks among Black and White College Students: Powerlessness or System Blame?
Black Americans are far more likely than White Americans to endorse theories about conspiracies by the U.S. government against Blacks. The present study explored the predictors of these conspiracy beliefs for 91 Black and 96 White college students. Two explanations for belief in these conspiracies were considered, one focusing on political powerless and externality of attributions and the other focusing on system blame for Blacks’ disadvantaged s…
Religiousness, Race, and Psychological Well-Being: Exploring Social Psychological Mediators
Research and theory combine to suggest that the relationship between religious belief and psychological well-being should be more positive among Black than among White individuals. Further, this relationship should be mediated by social psychological aspects of religion that have positive implications for well-being, such as self-enhancing religious attributions and a positive social identity associated with one's religious affiliation. These pre…
Collective Self-Esteem and Psychological Well-Being among White, Black, and Asian College Students
A total of 91 Black, 96 White, and 35 Asian college students completed the Collective Self-Esteem Scale (CSES), as well as measures of psychological well-being (personal self-esteem, life satisfaction, depression, and hopelessness). Correlations between the Public and Private subscales of the CSES were near zero for Blacks, moderate for Whites, and strong for Asians. The membership and private subscales of the general CSES were related to psychol…
