“They were lamenting in their systematic review that lots of attempts to intervene in behavior change weren’t based on theories.”

“So, what they’re really saying is, ‘ok, we know these might be different types of behaviors, but is it sufficient to lump them all together?’ And statistically, yes it is.”

“When we say that something ‘mediates’, we’re basically saying it’s like a multiplier in the middle.”
