Psychological Foundations and Insights from Research on Effectiveness
摘要
Behavioral changes are a complex interplay of cognitive and emotional processes. The stage models of behavior change describe the different stages of this process. According to the Transtheoretical Model, behavior change consists of five stages: 1) Precontemplation, 2) Contemplation, 3) Preparation, 4) Action, and 5) Maintenance. The COM-B model describes that capability, opportunity, and motivation together can explain a behavior. Processes that regulate behavior can be influenced with behavior change techniques. In addition, the type of motivation and self-management play an important role in relation to a sustainable lifestyle change.
