Study Notes

Behavioral Interventions and Models in Psychology

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a communication style that aims to empower individuals to change by drawing out their own capacity for change and honoring their autonomy.
MI is particularly useful when individuals experience ambivalence, low confidence, desire, or importance regarding change.
MI is utilized in diverse settings, populations, languages, and treatment formations, addressing a broad range of presenting concerns such as substance use and mental health.
Multimodal interventions for substance use involve a combination of biological (e.g., nicotine replacement therapy) and psychological interventions (e.g., stress management).
Harm reduction strategies for illicit drug use include needle exchange programs, methadone programs, and pill testing at events.
Relapse prevention is an essential component of behavior change programs, helping individuals plan for high-risk situations and deal with lapses.
The Transtheoretical Model of Change, with six major steps, aids psychologists in understanding behavior change and matching interventions to individuals' stage of change.
Stress is defined as a pattern of cognitive appraisals, physiological responses, and behavioral tendencies in response to perceived imbalance between situational demands and coping resources.
Stress can be understood as a stimulus, a response, or a person-situation interaction.
Stressors vary in intensity, duration, predictability, controllability, chronicity, and may include microstressors, major negative events, and catastrophic events.
Coping strategies for stress can be problem-focused (e.g., planning, assertive confrontation), emotion-focused (e.g., positive reinterpretation, acceptance), or seeking social support.
Problem-focused and seeking support strategies are related to better adjustment to stressors, while emotion-focused strategies may predict poorer adjustment.
