Abstract
This article explores how behavioral theory can facilitate the development, implementation, and evaluation of health promotion software packages intended to influence personal health practices and/or assess health risks. Current behavioral theories and models are reviewed, and their relevance to developing health promotion software is discussed. A series of six steps is suggested for developing and evaluating health promotion and appraisal software within a behavioral theory framework. These steps should help to facilitate direct application of the theory-based process to health promotion software development.

An integrative theoretical framework to explain and to predict psychological changes achieved by different modes of treatment is presented and findings are reported from microanalyses of enactive, vicarious, and emotive mode of treatment that support the hypothesized relationship between perceived self-efficacy and behavioral changes.

There appears to be general agreement among social psychologists that most human behavior is goal-directed (e. g., Heider, 1958 ; Lewin, 1951), and human social behavior can best be described as following along lines of more or less well-formulated plans.

A conceptually based, highly generalizable model for promoting and evaluatingAIDS-risk behavior change in any population of interest is proposed, which holds that AIDS-risk reduction is a function of people's information about AIDS transmission and prevention, their motivation to reduce AIDS risk, and their behavioral skills for performing the specific acts involved in risk reduction.
