Behavior Modification (Obesity Exam 3) Practice
Questions and Answers (100% Pass)
stimuli present when behavior is rewarded or punished
reward = repeated behavior
punishment = decline in behavior
positive = adding a stiumus
negative = removing a stimulus - ✔️✔️operant conditioning (skinner)
associative learning process: potent stimulus paired with neutral stimulus which then elicits
behavior - ✔️✔️classical conditioning (pavlov)
relatively new field that recognizes that most causes of death are behavioral - ✔️✔️behavioral
medicine
behavior therapy techniques: elements for optimal success - ✔️✔️Achievable (practical;
accessible: frequency and consistency)
Measurable (feedback; trackable; verifiable)
Efficacious (evidence based)
Self-ownership (autonomous stakeholder; personal stakeholder)
short-term, goal oriented, hands on
goal: help self-manage problems by changing thinking patterns and behaviors that cause problem
- ✔️✔️cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
process of deconstructing antecedents that lead to behaviors
what triggers (items, places, people) led to poor and good behavior? - ✔️✔️functional analysis
behavioral therapy results? - ✔️✔️history of short-term efficacy followed by long-term RELAPSE
evidence for CBT - ✔️✔️-can induce significant short term weight loss (10% body weight)

-long-term weight loss maintenance RARE
often in small groups for social support
weekly 60-90 min/session; 6-12 months
begin with private weigh in to establish baseline
patient self monitors past week's behaviors
feedback provided immediately about progress regression
helps patient link behavior to outcome!!!
problem solve for solutions next week - ✔️✔️group treatment
challenge of treatment and a solution - ✔️✔️reinforcing value of successful progress not always
apparent (ex: discouraged after only losing .5 lbs)
focus on positive behaviors (ex: meeting exercise goals) RATHER than outcome (weight) and
focus on long term
intensive family-based behavioral pediatric treatment evidence - ✔️✔️effective
long-term weight maintenance in intensive family-based behavioral pediatric treatment more
likely if: - ✔️✔️-parents and children treated TOGETHER
-includes strong exercise focus
-more meals eaten at home
-weight regularly self-monitored
-social support from family/friends present
self-report vs objective measures - ✔️✔️objective more accurate and preferred
(bias in self report: people underestimate intake and overestimate expenditure)
assess behavior (baseline) methods - ✔️✔️self-report
objective measures
readiness to change model - ✔️✔️1) pre-contemplation : provide education on risks/benefits
2) contemplation or preparation: set goals; provided behavior change techniques; self monitor
progress; reevaluate if not solved)
