Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The behavioral model of adherence emphasizes the use of reinforcement to increase compliant behaviors, such as positive feedback or rewards, and to decrease noncompliant behaviors, such as withdrawal of positive reinforcement or punishment. Choice B is incorrect because punishment is not emphasized, and choice C is incorrect because the concept of subjective norms is not part of the behavioral model. Choice D is also incorrect, as there is actually a good amount of research supporting the use of behavioral interventions for adherence.
