Weight bias among health professionals specializing in obesity. (2003, background): “These findings are noteworthy given that the sample was comprised of professionals who treat and study obesity, a group that understands that obesity is caused by genetic and environmental factors and is not simply a function of individual behavior (14).”
NEO personality domains and gender predict levels and trends in body mass index over 14 years during midlife (2006, background): “It is known that obesity disproportionately aVects people–women in particular—of low income (Wadden et al., 2002).”
Food cue reactivity and craving predict eating and weight gain: a meta-analytic review (2015, unknown): “obesity (8,9,84,88,93,94) and low efficacy in weight loss interventions (95–100).”
Changes in Perceived Weight Discrimination Among Americans, 1995–1996 Through 2004–2006 (2008, background): “Although research has challenged this notion and illustrated the complex interaction of biology, genetics, and the environment as important contributors to weight gain (27,28), the view that obesity stems from individual choice remains common.”
Obesity stigma: important considerations for public health. (2010, background): “There is also considerable scientific consensus about the challenge of significant long-term weight loss.(65) A systematic review of 80 randomized clinical trials of weight-loss interventions with at least 1 year of follow-up (including interventions of diet, diet and exercise, exercise, meal replac”
Robots at home: Understanding long-term human-robot interaction (2008, background): “Only in recent years has the medical community developed an understanding of obesity as a chronic condition that must be managed on an ongoing basis [14].”
A meta-analytic review of obesity prevention programs for children and adolescents: the skinny on interventions that work. (2006, background): “Another explanation for the relatively modest impact of extant obesity prevention programs is that environmental factors, such as the availability of high fat foods and a scarcity of pleasant places to exercise in many communities, play a key role in obesity promotion (Wadden et al., 2002).”
Motivation concepts in behavioral neuroscience. (2004, background): “Those changed factors are mostly external and include abundance of tasty calorie-rich foods, cultural patterns of extensive snacking outside of meals as well as large meal portions and low exercise rates [132,180].”
The allure of forbidden food: On the role of attention in self-regulation (2008, background): “At the same time, there is a growing consensus that environmental cues may be of considerable influence on the eating behavior of restrained and obese individuals (Mela, 2006; Wadden et al., 2002; see also Schachter, 1968).”
An examination of general and specific motivational mechanisms for the relations between body dissatisfaction and eating behaviors (2007, unknown): “Ironically, dieting and cognitive control over eating may leave dieters feeling more vulnerable to engage in uncontrolled eating (Heatherton & Polivy, 1992; Wadden, Bownell, & Foster, 2002; Wilson, 2002).”
Behavioral treatment of obesity. (2003, background): “Ultimately, wemust tackle what Brownell and colleagues has referred to as a ‘‘toxic environment’’ that explicitly encourages the consumption of super-sized servings of high-fat, high-sugar foods, while implicitly discouraging physical activity, as a result of sedentary work and leisure habits [98,99”
