Overview • Models of behavior change • The simple answer: Information, Motivation, and Behavioral Skills • SMART skills for success
Models of Behavior Change • Learning Theories (Skinner & Pavlov) • Health Belief Model (Rosenstock) • Theory of Reasoned Action (Ajzen & Fishbein) • Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura) • Transtheoretical Model (Prochaska & DiClemente)
Models of Behavior Change • Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (Fisher & Fisher) • Empirically tested • Conceptually based • Generalizable • Parsimonious • Intuitive
Information Information Behavioral Skills Health Behavior Behavioral Skills Health Behavior Motivation Motivation A empirically proven model for behavior change (Fisher & Fisher, 1994)
Information • Knowledge that is directly relevant to the behavior to be changed • Communicating to participants that physical activity is essential for good health • What to do to be more physically active: walking, biking, swimming, etc. • Does the participant know what to change?
Motivation • Inducement to engage in and maintain a new behavior • attitude toward the behavior • subjective norm • perceived costs vs. benefits • perceived vulnerability • Does the participant want to change?
Behavioral Skills • Strategies necessary to effectively perform the behavior • Goal setting • Self monitoring • Environmental cues • Social support • Reinforcement • Does the participant know how to change?
Information and Motivation are Not Sufficient to Change Behavior • Most smokers know that smoking is bad for their health, and they want to quit . . . • Most overweight people know that extra weight has negative health effects, and they want to lose pounds . . . • If information and motivation were enough, • we would all be healthy!
We’ve Known for Decades . . . • Behavioral interventions are more than twice as effective as information-only programs • Meta-analysis of health behavior change programs (Mazzuca, 1982) • effect sizes of .26 (information only) and .64 (behavioral skills) on health behavior • effect sizes of .18 (information only) and .74 (behavioral skills) on physiological variables (BP, weight, glucose, cholesterol)

The “HOW”: SMART skills • The difference between success and failure in changing and maintaining behavior • Set a goal • Monitor your progress • Arrange your world for success • Recruit a support Team • Treat yourself
Set a Specific, Achievable Goal • A Behavior • Specific, observable and measurable • Be sure you can accomplish it
Monitor Your Progress • Keep track of the behavior • Accountability • No guesswork • Detect patterns • Feel proud!
Arrange your World for Success • Make it easy to do the behavior • Working on exercise? • Have everything ready to go: clothes, towel, shoes, time • Trying to reduce calories? • Don’t bring high calorie foods into your house
Recruit a Support Team Ask people around you to support your new behavior
Treat Yourself • Reinforcement • Reward new behavior every time for acquisition • “Behavior that is treated is likely to be repeated!”
