There has been a dearth of theorizing in the area of multiple behavior change. The purpose of the current article was to examine how health behavior theory might be applied to the growing research terrain of multiple behavior change.
Three approaches to applying health behavior theory to multiple behavior change are advanced, including searching the literature for potential examples of such applications.
These three approaches to multiple behavior change include (1) a behavior change principles approach; (2) a global health / behavioral category approach, and (3) a multiple behavioral approach. Each approach is discussed and explicated and examples from this emerging literature are provided.
Further study in this area has the potential to broaden our understanding of multiple behaviors and multiple behavior change. Implications for additional theory-testing and application of theory to interventions are discussed.
在多种行为改变领域，理论研究一直较为匮乏。本文旨在探讨健康行为理论如何应用于日益增长的多种行为改变研究领域。
提出了三种将健康行为理论应用于多种行为改变的方法，包括在文献中搜索此类应用的潜在实例。
这三种多种行为改变方法包括：（1）行为改变原则方法；（2）全球健康/行为类别方法；（3）多种行为方法。对每种方法进行了讨论和阐述，并提供了来自这一新兴文献的实例。
该领域的进一步研究有可能拓宽我们对多种行为和多种行为改变的理解。讨论了对进一步理论测试以及将理论应用于干预措施的启示。
