Exploring goal-setting, rewards, self-monitoring, and sharing to motivate physical activity (2012, background): “When combined with goalsetting, performance feedback, and review of goals, selfmonitoring has been shown to be an effective component of interventions to promote physical activity [21].”
Changing environmentally harmful behaviors: A stage model of self-regulated behavioral change (2013, background): “One example is Schwarzer’s (2008) health action process approach (HAPA) that distinguishes explicitly between a motivational and a volitional stage of behavioral change.”
Using the Internet to Promote Health Behavior Change: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of the Impact of Theoretical Basis, Use of Behavior Change Techniques, and Mode of Delivery on Efficacy (2010, background): “In order to identify techniques contributing to effectiveness across interventions and to ensure that effective interventions can be replicated, it is crucial that standardized definitions of the techniques included in behavior change interventions are used and linked to intervention effectiveness [”
‘The Ostrich Problem’: motivated avoidance or rejection of information about goal progress (2013, background): “In addition, reviews of self-monitoring tend to focus on the effects of interventions (e.g., Bravata et al., 2007; Dombrowski et al., 2012; Greaves et al., 2011; Michie et al., 2009) rather than the extent to which people experience problems with monitoring, with attendant implications of this for g”
Key Factors Associated with Adherence to Physical Exercise in Patients with Chronic Diseases and Older Adults: An Umbrella Review (2021, background): “Additionally, in some patients like those with cardiovascular disease, the selfmonitoring of their heart activity may promote physical activity by increasing the perceived safety and also enable the self-regulation of intensity through the adjustment of the heart rate [46,124].”
The Person-Based Approach to Intervention Development: Application to Digital Health-Related Behavior Change Interventions (2015, result): “Our experiences are consistent with findings from reviews showing that self-monitoring tools are most effective when they also provide feedback on users’ performance or progress [72,73].”
What are the most effective intervention techniques for changing physical activity self-efficacy and physical activity behaviour--and are they the same? (2011, methodology): “Furthermore, this review found interventions that included self-monitoring plus one of five self-regulation techniques derived from control theory [16, 17] were significantly more effective than those not including these techniques, according to meta-regression [13].”
Behavior Change Techniques Implemented in Electronic Lifestyle Activity Monitors: A Systematic Content Analysis (2014, neutral): “[29] Prompt review of behavioral goals 1.”
The behaviour change wheel: A new method for characterising and designing behaviour change interventions (2011, positive): “An examination of BCTs used in selfmanagement approaches to increasing physical activity and healthy eating [46], and in behavioural support for smoking cessation [47,48], shows that these BCTs serve five of the intervention functions: education, persuasion, incentivisation, training, and enablement”
Antecedents and consequences of monitoring domestic electricity consumption (2014, background): “…of self-monitoring in shaping behavior change (see Bravata et al., 2007; Dombrowski et al., 2012; Greaves et al., 2011; Harkin et al., under review; Michie et al., 2009; 2012), few studies have identified the factors that influence why people choose to monitor their goal progress (and why they…”
Effect of exercise for depression: systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (2024, background): “30 Behaviour change techniques such as self-monitoring and action planning have been shown to influence the effects of physical activity interventions in adults (>18 years) 31 and older adults (>60 years) 32 with differing effectiveness of techniques in different populations.”
