Progressive advancement of interventions in health psychology requires improvements in underlying theory. The theoretical advances described in this special issue offer a number of possibilities for intervention development. These include advances in understanding the role of cognitive biases, priming effects, effective planning, the role of specific affective states, and the influence of attachment style on response to interventions. For these advances to translate into progressive improvements in interventions and realized gains in public health, we propose that the theories should: (a) be explicitly linked to the major theories from which they draw; (b) reflect the context sensitivity and dynamic nature of the intervention target; (c) show convincing evidence of improved effectiveness of interventions they spawn according to rigorous criteria; and (d) address the full translation process, including implementation by health care providers and engagement by the target population.
干预措施在健康心理学中的逐步推进需要基础理论的改进。本特刊中描述的理论进展为干预措施的发展提供了许多可能性。这些可能性包括对认知偏差、启动效应、有效规划、特定情绪状态的作用以及依恋风格对干预反应的影响的理解的进步。为了使这些进展转化为干预措施的逐步改进和公共卫生的实际收益，我们建议这些理论应该：(a) 明确与它们所借鉴的主要理论联系起来；(b) 反映干预目标的上下文敏感性和动态性质；(c) 根据严格的标准，展示出所产生的干预措施有效性提高的令人信服的证据；(d) 解决完整的翻译过程，包括医疗保健提供者的实施和目标人群的参与。
