<Li> Reinforcement management (Use rewards)--increasing the rewards that come from positive behavior and reducing those that come from negative behavior . </Li> <Li> Stimulus control (Manage your environment)--using reminders and cues that encourage healthy behavior as substitutes for those that encourage the unhealthy behavior . </Li> <P> Health researchers have extended Prochaska's and DiClemente's 10 original processes of change by an additional 21 processes . In the first edition of Planning Health Promotion Programs, Bartholomew et al. (2006) summarised the processes that they identified in a number of studies; however, their extended list of processes was removed from later editions of the text . The additional processes of Bartholomew et al. were: </P> <Ol> <Li> Risk comparison (Understand the risks)--comparing risks with similar dimensional profiles: dread, control, catastrophic potential and novelty </Li> <Li> Cumulative risk (Get the overall picture)--processing cumulative probabilities instead of singe incident probabilities </Li> <Li> Qualitative and quantitative risks (Consider different factors)--processing different expressions of risk </Li> <Li> Positive framing (Think positively)--focusing on success instead of failure framing </Li> <Li> Self - examination relate to risk (Be aware of your risks)--conducting an assessment of risk perception, e.g. personalisation, impact on others </Li> <Li> Reevaluation of outcomes (Know the outcomes)--emphasising positive outcomes of alternative behaviours and reevaluating outcome expectancies </Li> <Li> Perception of benefits (Focus on benefits)--perceiving advantages of the healthy behaviour and disadvantages of the risk behaviour </Li> <Li> Self - efficacy and social support (Get help)--mobilising social support; skills training on coping with emotional disadvantages of change </Li> <Li> Decision making perspective (Decide)--focusing on making the decision </Li> <Li> Tailoring on time horizons (Set the time frame)--incorporating personal time horizons </Li> <Li> Focus on important factors (Prioritise)--incorporating personal factors of highest importance </Li> <Li> Trying out new behaviour (Try it)--changing something about oneself and gaining experience with that behaviour </Li> <Li> Persuasion of positive outcomes (Persuade yourself)--promoting new positive outcome expectations and reinforcing existing ones </Li> <Li> Modelling (Build scenarios)--showing models to overcome barriers effectively </Li> <Li> Skill improvement (Build a supportive environment)--restructuring environments to contain important, obvious and socially supported cues for the new behaviour </Li> <Li> Coping with barriers (Plan to tackle barriers)--identifying barriers and planning solutions when facing these obstacles </Li> <Li> Goal setting (Set goals)--setting specific and incremental goals </Li> <Li> Skills enhancement (Adapt your strategies)--restructuring cues and social support; anticipating and circumventing obstacles; modifying goals </Li> <Li> Dealing with barriers (Accept setbacks)--understanding that setbacks are normal and can be overcome </Li> <Li> Self - rewards for success (Reward yourself)--feeling good about progress; reiterating positive consequences </Li> <Li> Coping skills (Identify difficult situations)--identifying high risk situations; selecting solutions; practicing solutions; coping with relapse </Li> </Ol>
