Donna is about 25 pounds overweight, has tried a variety of diets and has repeatedly failed to maintain weight loss

In a behavior change program, a trap related to social influences might be
trying to get friends or family to change their behavior.

Donna is about 25 pounds overweight, has tried a variety of diets and has repeatedly failed to maintain weight loss. She defends her weight with the explanation that almost all of her relatives are overweight and none has ever been successful with attempts to lose weight. Donna can best be described as
having an external locus of control.

Which is an example of rationalization?
I couldn't exercise today because I had to visit a friend.

monitor behavior, analyze data, set goals, devise plan, make contract.

The primary determinant of behavior in people with a strong internal locus of control is found in
themselves.

associated with 8 of the top 10 causes of death in the United States.

Locus of control is best defined as
the figurative "place" considered responsible for events in a person's life.

An example of an appropriate reward for achieving a behavior change goal would be
seeing a movie.

Optimism, trust, and self-confidence are components of
emotional wellness.

In order to ensure that a behavior change program continues, it is best to
change the parts of the plan that are giving you problems.

The six dimensions of wellness include all of the following EXCEPT

When choosing a target behavior to change, you maximize your chances of success by
starting with something simple like snacking on candy.

A landmark event or new information
can initiate a desire to change an unwanted behavior.

Monitoring your behavior involves recording all of the following EXCEPT
several problem behaviors simultaneously.
