• Toward a theory of behavioral control (2021, background): “…theoretical approach, the investigation is generally acceptable when important determinants associated with the behavior of interest and the processes by which these determinants affect the behavior are effectively and parsimoniously identified (Hagger, 2019; Lim, 2018; Michie & Johnston, 2012).”
• Behaviour change techniques: the development and evaluation of a taxonomic method for reporting and describing behaviour change interventions (a suite of five studies involving consensus methods, randomised controlled trials and analysis of qualitative data). (2015, background): “Expert participants were from the UK (8), Australia (2), the Netherlands (2), Canada (1) and New Zealand (1).”
• A taxonomy of behaviour change methods: an Intervention Mapping approach (2015, unknown): “Recent attempts to establish a cumulative science of behaviour change have used taxonomies of behaviour change techniques (or methods; BCTs) to derive effectiveness of such techniques through meta-analysis of intervention evaluations (Michie & Johnston, 2012).”
• Threatening communication: a critical re-analysis and a revised meta-analytic test of fear appeal theory (2013, background): “As long as journals do not eliminate their SOB, it will remain virtually impossible for an evidence base to accumulate that enables the development of a toolbox of effective behaviour change methods (or the development of a cumulative science of behaviour change; Michie & Johnston, 2012).”
• The Behavior Change Technique Taxonomy (v1) of 93 Hierarchically Clustered Techniques: Building an International Consensus for the Reporting of Behavior Change Interventions (2013, background): “Restructuring of the physical environment [30] 0.”
• Theories of behaviour and behaviour change across the social and behavioural sciences: a scoping review (2014, background): “There have been calls for more operationalization, application, testing and refining of theories over many years (e.g., Michie & Johnston, 2012; Noar & Zimmerman, 2005; Rothman, 2004; Weinstein, 2007; Weinstein & Rothman, 2005), but advances are slow.”
• Can Mobile Phone Apps Influence People’s Health Behavior Change? An Evidence Review (2016, background): “With respect to the mechanisms of behavior change, it is important to use theory to inform intervention design as well as specifying BCTs [48,49].”
