Knowledge Base


It's difficult to know how to structure such a "knowledge base", and there are literally tens of thousands of papers that can be defined as "changing behavior". I've decided to organize it as answers to five questions.

2. What are the most effective ways to change such behavior? (Based on current research, extrapolations of research, the perspective of different research literatures).
