TL;DR
Two separate structural models are identified for the initiation of dieting, in which the core component is social influence, and for the maintenance of Dieting, which assumes that differences in the persistence of dieted are best understood as motivational.
Abstract
The operationalization of the components of the models and their application within large-scale longitudinal studies are discussed in relation to the need for systematic investigations of the way dieting begins and how it escalates or is maintained.
