Based on methodological behaviorism, [1] overt behavior is modified with (antecedent) stimulus control and consequences, including positive and negative reinforcement contingencies to increase desirable behavior, as well as positive and negative punishment, and extinction to reduce ...
Barrier Analysis is a rapid assessment tool used in behavior change projects. The purpose of Barrier Analysis is to identify behavioral determinants of a particular behaviour so that more effective social and behavioral change messages, strategies, and supporting activities can be developed.
Each behavioural change theory or model focuses on different factors in attempting to explain behaviour change. Of the many that exist, the most prevalent are learning theories, social cognitive theory, theories of reasoned action and planned behaviour, transtheoretical model of behavior change, the health action process approach, and the BJ Fogg model of behavior change.

The debate about the ethical considerations of design for behaviour change is still emerging, and will develop with the further development of the field. When designing for behavior change, the misapplication of behavioral design can trigger backfires, when they accidentally increasing the bad behavior they were originally designed to reduce.
In psychology, the I-change model [1] [2] or the integrated model, for explaining motivational and behavioral change, derives from the Attitude – Social Influence – Self-Efficacy Model, integrates ideas of Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behavior, [3] Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory, Prochaska's Transtheoretical Model, [4] the Health Belief Model, [5] and Goal setting [6] theories.
