• The Strategic Use of Gain- and Loss-Framed Messages to Promote Healthy Behavior: How Theory Can Inform Practice (2006, background): “Research and theory are needed to inform efforts to promote both the initiation and the maintenance of health practices (Rothman, 2000; Rothman, Baldwin, & Hertel, 2004; Rothman & Salovey, in press).”
• The Elaboration Likelihood Model of persuasion: Developing health promotions for sustained behavioral change. (2009, background): “Notably, there is a growing awareness of the importance of health promotion programs that establish sustained behavioral change, as distinct from merely impacting initiation of behavior change (Rothman, 2000).”
• Interventions to Promote Physical Activity and Dietary Lifestyle Changes for Cardiovascular Risk Factor Reduction in Adults (2010, background): “Group, Individual, Technology, and Multicomponent-Based Delivery Strategies Four general approaches can characterize interventions to modify dietary intake and increase PA, including (1) group-based interventions, (2) individual-based interventions, (3) computer/ technology-based (interactive sessio”
• The Look AHEAD Study: A Description of the Lifestyle Intervention and the Evidence Supporting It (2006, neutral): “Sustaining motivation for behavior change is another key focus of this stage, given the decreased rewards (principally weight loss) of treatment (65).”
• What are the most effective intervention techniques for changing physical activity self-efficacy and physical activity behaviour--and are they the same? (2011, background): “This supports the view that an individual is more likely to initiate successful behaviour change if they perceive that there are positive favourable outcomes associated with it [68].”
• The rewarding effect of flow experience on performance in a marathon race (2009, neutral): “A current research question in health psychology is how to motivate individuals to maintain exercise behavior in order to gain the beneficial health effects connected to long ter m exercising (e.g., Rothman, 2000; Schwarzer, 1999, 2001 ).”
• Promoting habit formation (2013, background): “Satisfaction is thought to be significant because ‘the feeling of satisfaction indicates that the initial decision to change the behaviour was correct’ (Rothman, 2000, p. 66).”
• Maintenance of lost weight and long-term management of obesity (2018, background): “From a cognitive psychology perspective, a waning intervention effort may be due to disappointment in the degree of weight loss actually achieved,(82) leading the patient to conclude that the effort is not worth the achieved benefits.(84) Although the published data are mixed on whether unrealistic ”
• Temporal self-regulation theory: A model for individual health behavior (2007, methodology): “Linde, Rothman, Baldwin, and Jeffery (2006) found that self-efficacy’s ability to”
• A Meta-Analysis of Web-Delivered Tailored Health Behavior Change Interventions (2013, background): “Although maintenance of behavior change has long been a major challenge for health communication programs (Rothman, 2000), the results indicated that tailored interventions may help individuals maintain changes over time.”
• Facilitating health behaviour change and its maintenance: Interventions based on Self-Determination Theory (2008, background): “Health researchers (e.g., Rothman, 2000) have described the process of health behaviour change as entailing the dual tasks of initiating and maintaining change.”
• Theoretical explanations for maintenance of behaviour change: a systematic review of behaviour theories (2016, methodology): “In particular, self-regulation is thought to be needed when new behaviours are not fully automatic and the behavioural potential of prior behaviours is still high (model of behaviour maintenance – Rothman, 2000; Rothman et al., 2004).”
• Reasons for Earlier Than Desired Cessation of Breastfeeding (2013, neutral): “Early termination was positively associated with mothers’ concerns regarding: (1) difficulties with lactation; (2) infant nutrition and weight; (3) illness or need to take medicine; and (4) the effort associated with pumping milk.”
• Interventions to Break and Create Consumer Habits (2006, background): “Adopting and repeating a new action depends largely on people’s judgments that the outcome it affords is more desirable than those offered by alternative actions (e.g., Rothman 2000).”
