dc.description.abstract | Objective: Treatment beliefs and preferences for psychological therapies were investigated in 80
overweight individuals trying to manage their weight. Method: Participants read 4 therapy descriptions:
cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), behavior therapy (BT), cognitive therapy (CT), and acceptance
and commitment therapy (ACT). They ranked the treatments in order of preference, explained the reason
for their preferred choice, and reported their beliefs about each approach. Results: Individual
CBT (43.42%) and BT (31.58%), delivered face-to-face or technologically, were the most preferred
treatment options, while ACT (17.12%) and CT (7.89%) were the least preferred. The main reasons
cited among those who chose CBT and BT were perceived comprehensiveness and the practical nature
of the approach, respectively. Treatment beliefs were strongly predicted by psychological need
satisfaction as well as perceived ease and effort. Conclusions: Further research should ascertain
the stability of treatment beliefs and the efficacy of modifying the treatment context to meet individual
needs | |
