    Behavior modification is a treatment approach that uses respondent and operant conditioning to change behavior. 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 ...

  3. Behavioural change theories - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioural_change_theories

    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.

  4. Health action process approach - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_Action_Process_Approach

    Models that describe health behavior change can be distinguished in terms of the assumption whether they are continuum-based or stage-based. [7] A continuum (mediator) model claims that change is a continuous process that leads from lack of motivation via action readiness either to successful change or final disengagement.

  5. Weight loss - Wikipedia

    Intentional weight loss is the loss of total body mass as a result of efforts to improve fitness and health, or to change appearance through slimming. Weight loss is the main treatment for obesity, [1] [2] [3] and there is substantial evidence this can prevent progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes with a 7–10% weight loss and manage cardiometabolic health for diabetic people with a ...

  6. Set point theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_point_theory

    Set point theory can be construed as implying weight regulation in a wide or tight range around the set point, in a symmetric or in an asymmetric manner (i.e. treating weight gain and loss either the same or differently), and may apply to regulation of body fat levels specifically (in a multi-compartment model) or to overall body weight.

  7. Weight management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_management

    Weight management strategies most often focus on achieving healthy weights through slow but steady weight loss, followed by maintenance of an ideal body weight. [5] However, weight neutral approaches to health have also been shown to result in positive health outcomes.

  8. Professional practice of behavior analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_practice_of...

    The behavioral counseling approach became very popular in weight reduction [33] [34] [35] and is on the American Psychological Association's list of evidence-based practices for weight loss. Behavioral counseling for weight loss by Richard B. Stuart led to the commercial program Weight Watchers. [36]

  9. Behavior change (individual) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavior_change_(individual)

    Several theories exist as to why and how behavioral change can be affected, including behaviorism, Self-efficacy theory, and the stages of change model. [1] Behavioral change can be very beneficial to an individual. Two such theories on the subject include behavior modification theory and cognitive behavioral theory. Both of these seek to help ...
