The model recognizes two domains that drive behavior: motivation and ability. Other well-known models for behavioral change, such as the Fogg Behavior Model, also recognize these key elements.
These domains are divided into personal, social, and structural sources – reflecting psychology, social psychology, and organization theory, respectively. As a result of the two domains and three spheres, the model comprises six drivers of behavioral engagement.
If the behavior you’re trying to change is supported by only one source of influence, changing that one might be sufficient to improve results. However, when you’re facing longstanding, highly resistant habits, you’re typically up against many – if not all six – sources of influence. So think about it: if six sources are driving a bad habit and you address only one, what do you predict will happen? If you answer, “Nothing,” you’re right.
