V.1. Thesis - Controlling subjective well-being : the comparative effects of disordered eating and obesity -- v.2. Professional portfolio - Towards evidence-based practice : reflections of a practising scientist |
| Summary |
This thesis focused on the impact of disordered eating and obesity, and found that people with better self-esteem and personal control experience greater satisfaction with their lives overall. Although people reporting disordered eating reported lower self-esteem and obese people were less satisfied with their health, overall life satisfaction was maintained. The portfolio examined the Scientist-Practitioner Model (S-P) of psychology whereby practitioners perform dual roles as clinician and researcher. The clinical utility of the S-P model was then evaluated in four case studies |
