Extract

In an earlier contribution to Behaviour Change, a five-factor framework which recognizes both environmental and internal mediating determinants of behaviour was presented (Molloy, 1984). The five factors constitute a dynamic interdependent system whereby a change in any one of the components affects one or more of the other elements. The model is intended as an heuristic device for formulating and testing hypotheses and to illustrate how human behaviour, beyond simple habits and reactions, is multiply determined.
