Abstract: |
The promotion of healthy habits have lots of benefits. In this way, the discovery of human health habits will allow to experts, among others advantages, evaluate the accuracy of the promotion models. Nevertheless, to design and develop a model that correctly predict and anticipate the behavior of an individual or a group is a difficult task, in the sense that the challenge of representing the behavior includes such diverse areas as simulating the effects of making decision, modeling the cognitive processes that take place in making that decision, or simulate the perception of motor skills. The design of an unified method to access the current human behavior theories will facilitate the application of motivation technologies in an holistic way.
In this paper, a review about the factors involved on human behavior modeling, and the most important theories on people health behavior is made and a first attempt for the creation of a unified health behavior model is presented. |
