Lastly, we asked whether learned olfactory behaviour of a target individual was affected by the kind of learned behaviour a surrounding group of larvae was expressing.
In a broad sense, this question can refer to effects of the mere presence of other larvae on the behaviour of a target individual.
To influence the behaviour of a target group, a wide range of intervention methods/materials is required and these need be propagated through different channels and means [ 14].
We next tested whether the expression of learned olfactory behaviour of a target individual is affected by the behaviour of the group in which it is embedded during testing.
Here we focused in a more strict sense on 'peer pressure', that is on the question of whether the behaviour of a target individual larva is affected by what a surrounding group of larvae is doing.
We conclude that it does not matter for the expression of learned olfactory behaviour of a target individual whether a group of surrounding larvae expresses olfactory preference – or not.
The focus groups are a dynamic group of discussions to gather information, assess needs, behaviours, and various views of a target population on a given subject.
For example, if expected positive outcomes of a target behaviour differentiate between those who do and do not engage in that behaviour, it is prudent to target outcome expectancies in behaviour change interventions [ 8].
Lastly, we tested whether the expression of learned olfactory behaviour by a target individual is affected by what likewise learned olfactory behaviour the group around it is expressing.
These three trials shared the following BCTs: goal setting, self-monitoring of behaviour and prompting practice, which were common to most of the interventions, included in the review; however, additionally these three studies included generalisation of a target behaviour – that is, getting people to engage in exercise outside of the immediate intervention environment.
