Abstract

Results suggest high self-efficacy for weight loss before treatment may be detrimental to success, whereas treatments that improve participants' self-efficacy may result in greater weight loss. High pretreatment self-efficacy may be indicative of overconfidence or lack of experience with the difficulties associated with weight loss efforts. Whereas replication is needed, our results suggest that self-efficacy is an important variable to consider when implementing weight loss interventions.
