The effects of outcome expectations and satisfaction on weight loss and maintenance: Correlational and experimental analyses - A randomized trail
Article Abstract:
A study experimentally examined the relative effects of outcome expectations and satisfaction on weight loss. The findings suggested that the independent of treatment message, positive outcome expectations and satisfaction were associated with weight loss, though future research on the determinants of weight loss and weight maintenance would provide the evidence needed to make a more thorough assessment.
