Attitudes And Behavior

Abstract. The core aim of the present study is to compare the effects of a safety campaign and a behavior modification program on traffic safety. As is the case in community-based health promotion, the present study's approach of the attitude campaign was based on active participation of the group of recipients. One of the reasons why many attitude campaigns conducted previously have failed may be that they have been society-based public health programs. Both the interventions were carried out simultaneously among students aged 18-19 years in two Norwegian high schools (n = 342). At the first high school the intervention was behavior modification, at the second school a community-based attitude campaign was carried out. Baseline and posttest data on attitudes toward traffic safety and self-reported risk behavior were collected. The results showed that there was a significant total effect of the interventions although the effect depended on the type of intervention. There were significant differences in attitude and behavior only in the sample where the attitude campaign was carried out and no significant changes were found in the group of recipients of behavior modification.

To add to its usefulness as a therapeutic technique and aid in future research on its therapeutic effectiveness, Contract Therapy needs to be related to a theoretical orientation. Basic aspects of Contract Therapy are related to behavior modification theory and practice. However, the use of a behavioral focus does not necessitate a belief in behaviorism with its mechanisitic view of man. Instead, Contract Therapy is a behavioral counseling technique developed from a biblical perspective, both with regard to the nature of man and the nature of marriage.

Substantial Degree

Similarities and contrasts between various biblical principles and behavioral approaches related to establishing positive behavior and eliminating negative behavior are discussed. Examination of the Bible reveals that it is to a substantial degree a behavior-oriented book. Similarities between biblical principle and behavior technology are shown. Although precautions must be taken in adopting a particular behavioral approach to ascertain whether it is consistent with the Bible in terms of its methods and goals, behavioral technology is concluded to be broadly consistent with the biblical view of man.
