Also, the negative effects of groups on weight loss http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1054139X10001461 Friendship Group Influences on Body Dissatisfaction and Dieting Among Adolescent Girls: A Prospective Study Woelders,Larsen, Scholte, Cillessen, Rutger, Engels, (2010)

It also might be interesting to talk about weight loss reality TV shows such as the biggest loser as an example of group weight loss --Arlo Porter (discuss • contribs) 01:00, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I thought maybe you could use examples such as group classes at gyms, like zumba (dance), or circuit class, etc as they inspire people to work harder and are all group focused? Maybe looking at advertisement on gym websites could provide some interesting ideas? Good luck!--U3083662 (discuss • contribs) 11:38, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi there! I found an interesting article that I think will be useful to you chapter. It's about social facilitation (or 'audience effect') as a treatment method for obesity and makes mention of the socio-ecological model which the research was based on. The article is called: Social facilitation maintenance treatment for adults with obesity: study protocol for a randomised-controlled feasibility study (SFM study) by Anja Hilbert. Hope you find this helpful, good luck! --U3117275 (discuss • contribs) 11:55, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

Hay, I noticed that you do not have much information for Goal Setting Theory. I found this article that pretty much outlines GST and the advances that have been made in GST. At least, it is an interesting read about GST. The article is New Directions in Goal-Setting Theory by Edwin A. Locke and Gary P. Latham I hope this helps --U3119480 (discuss • contribs) 14:50, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Interesting topic and seems to be coming together for you. I have found the AIHW has some really good health publications that you may find useful. The link is http://aihw.gov.au/risk-factors-diseases-and-death-publications/ . Hope this helps. U109993 (discuss • contribs) 04:54, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Hey you have an excellent topic I am going to link my page to yours as mine is on long term goal achievement. you should also look at linking with some of the other goal setting topics like grit u3115326 22/10/16

Key terms

Rather than have key terms in a separate section, I recommend defining each term, as necessary, when the term is introduced, with the internal link to a corresponding Wikipedia article.

If in doubt, check Wikipedia articles - they generally don't have a separate key terms section. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 07:19, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Overall Overall, this is a fantastic chapter which makes effective use of the wiki environment and provides an integrated, indepth, but very readable synthesis of psychological theory and research on the topic. The chapter is over the maximum word-count. For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below. Feel free to make ongoing changes to the chapter if you wish to address any of these comments or make other improvements. Theory Excellent coverage of theory, although perhaps this is the content which could be most readily abbreviated to fit in to the maximum word count. Clear Overview and Conclusion, with excellent coverage of theory and research and fitting with the book theme. Research The chapter is well supported by critical review of key research. Great to see use of meta-analytic findings. When discussing important research findings, indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship. Written expression Written expression is excellent. The chapter successfully addresses the topic and book theme. Structure and headings The chapter is well-structured. Layout Some images are used; perhaps the chapter could be improved by adding more images. Integration with other chapters The chapter provides an excellent range of integrated, relevant links to other Wikiversity pages. Learning features Excellent use of interwiki links to other book chapters and to relevant Wikipedia articles. Some links to Wikipedia and/or Wikiversity articles were added as external links - these should be changed to interwiki links. Spelling, grammar, and proofreading are excellent. APA style The reference list is not in full APA style.
