| Abstract |
Group interventions for mental health have proved very effective, but there is little consensus on their mechanism of action. In the present study, we posit that normative change is a plausible mechanism and provide a test of this in an eating disorder prevention group program. Participants were 112 women aged 15-25 years with body, shape or weight concerns who completed five questionnaires across the four session group-based intervention. Results indicated that participants experienced a significant reduction in thin-ideal internalization, body dissatisfaction and dieting intentions across the course of the program. These decrements were preceded by changes in group norms. Changes in both descriptive norms and injunctive norms in the first half of the program predicted improvement in thin-ideal internalization, body dissatisfaction and dieting intentions in the second half. Implications for theoretical models of attitude change are discussed, as well as implications for group interventions more generally. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 April 2020.
All research outputs
#4,824,580
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Behaviour Research & Therapy
#1,006
of 2,672 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#61,930
of 360,792 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Behaviour Research & Therapy
#11
of 26 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 80th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,672 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 62% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 360,792 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 26 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 57% of its contemporaries.
