TABLE 7.

Behaviours exhibited by the SDMs.

Validation statement Operationalization: Behaviour exhibited by the SDMs?
1 There are no significant physiological differences between Dutch and South‐Asian Surinamese men regarding the effect of physical activity on weight loss. Yes: In the male groups, the effect of PAL on BMI is of the same order of magnitude in the Dutch as the South‐Asian Surinamese group.

10 Norms tend to have a larger effect on Moroccan than on Dutch men, as Moroccan culture is regarded as being more collectivistic than Dutch culture. Yes: In the male groups, (1—Impact HBonIIB), representing the impact of Norm on IIB, is higher in the Moroccan than in the Dutch group.
11 Norms tend to have a larger effect on South‐Asian Surinamese than on Dutch men, as South‐Asian Surinamese culture is regarded as being more collectivistic than Dutch culture. No: In the male groups, (1—Impact HBonIIB), representing the impact of Norm on IIB, is not higher in the South‐Asian Surinamese than in the Dutch group.
12 Norms tend to have a larger effect on Moroccan than on South‐Asian Surinamese men, as Moroccan culture is regarded as being more collectivistic than South‐Asian Surinamese culture. Yes: In the male groups, (1—Impact HBonIIB), representing the impact of Norm on IIB, is higher in the Moroccan than in the South‐Asian Surinamese group.
13 Norms tend to have a larger effect on Moroccan than on Dutch women, as Moroccan culture is regarded as being more collectivistic than Dutch culture. No: In the female groups, (1—Impact HBonIIB), representing the impact of Norm on IIB, is not higher in the Moroccan than in the Dutch group.
14 Norms tend to have a larger effect on South‐Asian Surinamese than on Dutch women, as South‐Asian Surinamese culture is regarded as being more collectivistic than Dutch culture. No: In the female groups, (1—Impact HBonIIB), representing the impact of Norm on IIB, is not higher in the South‐Asian Surinamese than in the Dutch group.
15 Norms tend to have a larger effect on Moroccan than on South‐Asian Surinamese women, as Moroccan culture is regarded as being more collectivistic than South‐Asian Surinamese culture. Yes: In the female groups, (1—Impact HBonIIB), representing the impact of Norm on IIB, is higher in the Moroccan than in the South‐Asian Surinamese group.
16 Dutch women tend to be more prone to be influenced by norms than Dutch men. No: In the Dutch group, (1—Impact HBonIIB), representing the impact of Norm on IIB, is not higher in the female than in the male group.
17 South‐Asian Surinamese women tend to be more prone to be influenced by norms than South‐Asian Surinamese men. No: In the south‐Asian Surinamese group, (1—Impact HBonIIB), representing the impact of Norm on IIB, is not higher in the female than in male group.
18 Moroccan women tend to be more prone to be influenced by norms than Moroccan men. No: In the Moroccan group, (1—Impact HBonIIB), representing the impact of Norm on IIB, is not higher in the female than in the male group.
19 The intent to change physical activity behaviour tends to be greater in Dutch than in Moroccan men, as physical activity is more embedded in Dutch than in Moroccan culture. No: In the male groups, Intent PAB is not higher in the Dutch than in the Moroccan group.
20 The intent to change physical activity behaviour tends to be greater in Dutch than in South‐Asian Surinamese men, as physical activity is more embedded in Dutch than in South‐Asian Surinamese culture. Yes: In the male groups, Intent PAB is higher in the Dutch than in the South‐Asian Surinamese group.
21 The intent to change physical activity behaviour tends to be greater in Dutch than in Moroccan women, as physical activity is more embedded in Dutch than in Moroccan culture. No: In the female groups, Intent PAB is not higher in the Dutch than in the Moroccan group.
22 The intent to change physical activity behaviour tends to be greater in Dutch than in South‐Asian Surinamese women, as physical activity is more embedded in Dutch than in South‐Asian Surinamese culture. Yes: In the female groups, Intent PAB is higher in the Dutch than in the South‐Asian Surinamese group.
23 The intent to change physical activity behaviour tends to be greater in Dutch women than in Dutch men. Yes: In the Dutch group, Intent PAB is higher in the female than in the male group.

Note: Each validation statement is supported by 1–8 references, as we show in Appendix S1.5. In the right column, we show whether the behaviour is exhibited by the respective pair of SDMs based on the computational operationalization of the validation statement (see Appendix S1.5).
