Document Summary
Analysis questions for the reading by stice et al (2007) Comparing 2 interventions for eating disorders looking to see what the mediators were - trying to determine how these interventions work. Voluntarily engage in verbal, written and behavioural exercises in which they critiqued the thin ideal. Conducted in sessions and between sessions they had homework too. Encouraged to make healthy and lasting changes to their diet and physical activity level as a way of balancing their energy needs with energy intake and thereby achieving a healthier weight and satisfaction. With support, each participant initiated an individual lifestyle change plan to reduce intake of fat and sugar and increase physical activity. Dissonance: body dissatisfaction, negative affect and bulimic symptoms. Expressive writing - other research shows that people benefit from writing about their traumas. Why did they have this? to isolate the effects of demand characteristics and expectancy effects from nonspecific factors e. g. social support from the group members.
