Validating and Dialectical Coaching Strategies in a Virtual Coach for Obese Emotional Eaters 69 3 construct the first working prototype of the emo.analyser. After user evaluation, the functionalities of the emo.analyser will be integrated into a choice-based user interface. To conclude, this study makes two main contributions: (1) gaining more insights in: a) what coaching strategies do emotional eaters prefer; b) what triggers emotional eaters to (over)eat and at what times of the day the craving usually occur; c) emotional states at the moments of experiencing food cravings and giving in to binges, and (2) we aim at developing a general personalised eCoaching framework, enabling the optimal translation of successful behaviour change techniques, such as dialectical strategies, into persuasive coaching strategies implementable for broader target groups.
