Abstract
The "winning" variables identified in the integrated model are dominated by cognitions, which are accompanied by disability behaviors. A cognitive-behavioral model with an adaptation-oriented rather than a pathology-oriented focus is favored for early intervention with high-risk workers since cognitions are amenable to change.

17,061 Citations1959Donald T. Campbell, Donald W. Fiske
This transmutability of the validation matrix argues for the comparisons within the heteromethod block as the most generally relevant validation data, and illustrates the potential interchangeability of trait and method components.
