Although evidence-based practices can enhance educational outcomes, a persistent gap exists between research and practice. Advancing the understanding and use of implementation science among educational researchers has potential to close this gap. This study uses person-centered approaches to identify profiles of educational researchers (N = 140)…

Digital behavior change interventions (DBCIs) provide customized advice, ongoing support, and Web- and mobile-based platforms for learners who want to change their undesirable behaviors. DBCIs have been successful in the past for delivering interventions that support sustained changes to health behaviors, such as disease prevention and health…

This paper presents a study which aims to provide an understanding of the impact of using the components of a digital mobile-based behavior change intervention (mBCI) to support critical thinking skills during university student research projects. The digital behavior change interventions are tools and techniques designed to induce behavior change…

This article is a guide for researchers interested in assessing the effectiveness of serious computer-based games (or video games, digital games, or electronic games) intended to improve health and health care. It presents a definition of health games, a rationale for their use, an overview of the current state of research, and recommendations for…

Rapid smoking is generally considered to be the most effective single treatment strategy for the behavioral control of smoking. Unfortunately, its safety has recently been questioned. A new procedure termed "focused smoking" poses absolutely no health hazard. (Author)

The authors describe some of the events preceding and supporting the beginning development of contingency management" and explain some of the applications of contingency management. (Authors/AA)

These findings in concert with case history data suggest that the thought-stopping-covert-assertion treatment "package" may hold considerable promise as an efficient and effective clinical tool. (Author)

As measured by a variety of dependent variables, assertion training was effective in modifying assertive behavior but ineffective with aggressive behavior in a group of low-assertive but aggressive college women. (Author)

An empirical model was developed to represent the organization of the value-attitude system as postualted by Rokeach, and the model was used to determine the internal consistency of the system, its structure and components, and the extent to which the system permitted the prediction of attitudes from values. (Author)

Results of the present investigation indicate that when there is no actual change in behavior, knowledge by observers of predicted results is unlikely to alter behavioral recordings. (Author)

The performance of 60 elderly volunteers on two cancellation tasks was examined under one of three experimental conditions: social praise, social reproof, or no comment. The clear implications from these data are that social incentives may well facilitate behavioral change in the aged. (Author)

The three basic steps of the systems approach are described: the mission profile, the functional analysis, and the method-means. The advantageous use of these steps in planning a token economy is illustrated by a systematic evaluation of a token economy implemented in a sixth-grade setting. (Author)

Described are contributions to and use of the Behavior Bank, an international computer bank containing information (Behavior Charts and data forms) on over 11,000 precise measurement projects conducted to modify behavior through a wide variety of procedures from various disciplines. (KW)
