Theories of behaviour and behaviour change across the social and behavioural sciences: a scoping review (2014, background): “…of behaviour change interventions at individual, community and population levels (Abraham, Kelly, West, & Michie, 2009; Albarracin et al., 2005; Michie & West, 2013; National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, 2007; Nigg, Allegrante, & Ory, 2002).”
Efficacy of computer technology-based HIV prevention interventions: a meta-analysis (2009, background): “In addition, the largest single metaanalysis of HIV prevention interventions to date [1] found an effect size for condom use of d1⁄4 0.”
Defensive reactions to health-promoting information: an overview and implications for future research (2013, background): “Instead, health promoters should use strategies that are less likely to trigger defensive reactions, such as positive reinforcement of desirable behaviour (Hastings et al, 2004 ), behavioural skills training (Albarracin et al, 2005 ) and facilitating implementation of the recommended action (Hale ”
Measuring defensive responses to threatening messages: a meta-analysis of measures (2007, background): “Consequently, messages intended to warn can be ineffective or counter-productive (Albarracin, Gillete, Earl, Glasman, & Durantini, 2005 ).”
A taxonomy of behavior change techniques used in interventions. (2008, background): “Thus, Technique 2 could be derived from theories such as the theory of reasoned action (Fishbein & Ajzen, 1975), the theory of planned behavior ( Ajzen, 1991 ), social‐cognitive theory (Bandura, 1997), and the information‐motivation‐behavioral skills model (Fisher & Fisher, 1992).”
Specifying and reporting complex behaviour change interventions: the need for a scientific method (2009, background): “Using theory to identify constructs (key concepts in the theory) that are causally related to behaviour, and are therefore appropriate targets for the intervention, can confer a range of benefits including potentially stronger effects [47-49].”
Validation of the theoretical domains framework for use in behaviour change and implementation research (2012, background): “There is some evidence that behaviour change interventions informed by theory are more effective than those that are not [7,8].”
Theoretical explanations for maintenance of behaviour change: a systematic review of behaviour theories (2016, background): “There is considerable evidence that behaviour can be effectively modified through behaviour change interventions (Albarracin et al., 2005; Hobbs et al., 2013).”
The Behavior Change Technique Taxonomy (v1) of 93 Hierarchically Clustered Techniques: Building an International Consensus for the Reporting of Behavior Change Interventions (2013, methodology): “Abraham andMichie [11] developed the first cross-behavior BCT taxonomy, building on previous intervention content analyses [7, 8].”
