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.
