Individual differences in processes of lifestyle changes among people with obesity: an acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) intervention in a primary health care setting
Overview
This paper explores individual differences in the thought processes and learning experiences of 17 obese participants during a six-week online acceptance and commitment therapy intervention. Using data-driven content analysis of online logbooks, the study identifies four distinct groups based on their progress phases, such as being stuck with barriers or moving forward with concrete goals. The resource is intended for researchers or clinicians interested in how psychological flexibility and self-regulation skills vary among individuals undergoing lifestyle change interventions.
