Chapter 6 176 Recommendations Firstly, consideration should be given to the performance of the exercises, looking at frequencies and timing; based on events in their own context, users can better decide for themselves when to perform the exercises. Experience sampling methods could help to identify which contextual factors can play a role. And lastly, based on the feedback of participants, it is recommended for future studies to employ additional factorial design studies to explore working components of online emotion regulation exercises further and experience sampling methods to explore the contexts in which these exercises could be most effective to assign to individuals with emotional eating. Engagement Dropout can be prevented by engaging and maintaining contact with participants during the development and use of exercises by providing feedback and explanations of the exercises where needed and desired. It is important that instructions to participants are engaging so that participants engage in the exercises. It is important that participants are enabled to share their user experiences, so that valuable information will not get lost because participants have dropped out early. Finally, it is important that when developing the exercises, their presentation and the explanations required, better reflect the needs of the end users. They should be involved in the design process from the first steps of intervention development. Tailoring The current study encourages explorative research on the development of tailored interventions for individuals with emotional eating and contributes to the previous study of Dol et al. [37] with the recommendation to include tailoring for difficulties in emotion regulation in the development of a personalized online coach. Overall, the current study was able to provide valuable starting points to further improve the tailoring of emotion regulation exercises for individuals with emotional eating and to subsequently spark advancements in the online just-in-time treatment of emotional eating behaviour.
