Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v46 n3 p463-69 Jun 1978

Investigated behavioral programs for obesity. Exercise and self-managed contingency components were compared using obese subjects who were evaluated after treatment and follow-up. Significant weight loss was observed at termination. The influence of exercise at follow-up was noticeable. Subjects engaged in behaviors, yet behaviors were not related to weight loss. (Author/BEF)
