ScienceCampus Tuebingen, Cluster: Overcoming barriers to prevention and treatment of obesity in childhood and adolescence - a digital media approach
January 2013 - December 2014
ScienceCampus Tuebingen
In the sub-project “Mobile intervention against childhood obesity” we look at psychological processes relevant for critical thinking, reflection, and behavior change in the context of obesity stigmatization and treatment. We try to support critical thinking about the causes of obesity via mobile media. As a long-term goal we want to support reflection (on mobile devices; “mobile persuasive technology”) to help reduce barriers for the treatment of obesity.
