Financial Motivation Undermines Maintenance in an Intensive Diet and Activity Intervention

Table 1

Regression model predicting weight at the end of follow-up (maintenance).

	𝐵	SE	𝛽	t	𝑃-value
Constant	5.40	2.779		1.94	<.05
Financial motivation	1.51	0.705	.034	2.15	<.05
Baseline weight	0.97	0.015	.986	62.44	<.001

Note. The positive β and 𝑡 statistics associated with financial motivation imply a positive relation with total body weight at the end of follow-up and thus a negative relation with weight loss from baseline to the end of follow-up.
