Theory-based intervention methods and practical applications to change (determinants of) behavior are selected, and program themes, components, scope and sequence are generated.
[1] Moral psychology is a discipline of both intrinsic and practical interest; uncovering the determinants of moral judgment and behavior is fascinating in its own right, and a better understanding of these determinants may help us to better understand what educational and policy interventions may facilitate good conduct and ameliorate bad conduct.
From our practical experience, the key determinants to success in this endeavor are adherence to the following principles: (1) Design for change; (2) Provide for storage subsystem I/O coordination; (3) Employ workload partitioning and load balancing techniques; (4) Employ caching; (5) Schedule the workload; and (6) Understand the workload.
Matrix of selected theoretical methods and practical strategies for the determinants risk perception and knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy, identified for the PE program.
Empirical data are still scarce on the practical implications of psychological determinants for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disorders in men and women.
The complete matrices of change objectives are shown in Additional file 1.>> After careful consideration of parameters for use, theoretical methods and practical applications addressing the determinants were selected to address the change objectives (IM step 2).
A method is a general theory-based technique to accomplish changes in behavioural determinants; a practical strategy is the specific application of a method, in such a way that it fits the target group and the intervention context.
This results in a matrix in which theoretical methods are matched with practical strategies for each determinant.
Large-scale, preventive medical enterprises can hardly be regarded as scientifically sound and ethically justifiable, unless issues of practical feasibility, sustainability and social determinants of health are considered.
In the third step of the IM protocol we selected theoretical methods and practical applications to modify the determinants of the dietary target behaviors, in order to achieve the change and performance objectives.
