The current study sought to investigate how individuals optimize their partner's support during a weight transition to accomplish their weight loss goals. A theoretical model was tested to determine the role of support marshaling in managing the relational turbulence associated with weight transitions. Path modeling broadly identified that support marshaling is a useful framework from which to consider how relational turbulence associated with weight transitions influences health behaviors. The results identify that partner facilitation and interference are both directly related to health behaviors and indirectly related to health behaviors through support marshaling. Theoretical implications for relational turbulence and support marshaling are discussed with regard to their ability to account for weight‐related behavior changes.

减肥过渡后驾驭关系动荡：支持封送分析

当前的研究试图调查个人在体重过渡过程中如何优化伴侣的支持以实现减肥目标。测试了理论模型，以确定支撑编组在管理与体重转变相关的关系动荡中的作用。路径建模广泛地确定了支持封送处理是一个有用的框架，从该框架可以考虑与体重转变相关的关系动荡如何影响健康行为。结果表明，伴侣支持和干预既与健康行为直接相关，也与通过支持封送处理而产生的健康行为间接相关。讨论了关系湍流和支持封送的理论意义，以解决它们与体重有关的行为变化的能力。
