A novel component to this intervention approach is the fact that all exercises discuss thoughts, emotions and behaviours in a personality-specific way, e.g. identifying situational triggers and cognitive distortions related to Sensation Seeking specifically.
The three intervention programs that implemented MI techniques, for example, provided tailored information to participants on specific risk behaviours, in an effort to improve their understanding of the risk behaviour and their skills to modify their behaviour.
These patterns exhibit behaviours in some specific semantic model, typically automata-based, defined by the software architect.
Researchers have also studied networks to better understand a variety of risk behaviours in specific populations such as youth at risk [ 23, 24, 31].
Behaviour in a specific situation is said to follow from the rules that govern the appropriate course of action for a given role or identity.
This paper presents a step-by-step framework that helps conservation and development planners and practitioners to identify economic instruments that can promote pro-conservation behaviour in a specific setting.
Possibilities of direct comparisons with previous research regarding validity, are limited by the lack of research in this area and because we study a specific behaviour in a specific environment.
Conformity can be an adaptive response to uncertainty regarding the appropriate behaviour in a specific context: by observing how others behave in that setting, individuals might be better able to infer what behaviour is successful [ 4] and what is likely to be approved or disapproved by others [ 2].
