</p><p>A broader definition of behavior, applicable to plants and other organisms, is similar to the concept of <a href="Phenotypic_plasticity" title="Phenotypic plasticity">phenotypic plasticity</a>. It describes behavior as a response to an event or environment change during the course of the lifetime of an individual, differing from other physiological or biochemical changes that occur more rapidly, and excluding changes that are a result of development (<a href="Ontogeny" title="Ontogeny">ontogeny</a>).<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>In management, behaviors are associated with desired or undesired focuses. Managers generally note what the desired outcome is, but behavioral patterns can take over. These patterns are the reference to how often the desired behavior actually occurs. Before a behavior actually occurs, antecedents focus on the stimuli that influence the behavior that is about to happen. After the behavior occurs, consequences fall into place. Consequences consist of rewards or punishments.

This is due to an <a href="Social_interaction" class="mw-redirect" title="Social interaction">interaction</a> among those members. Social behavior can be seen as similar to an exchange of goods, with the expectation that when one gives, one will receive the same. This behavior can be affected by both the qualities of the individual and the environmental (situational) factors. Therefore, social behavior arises as a result of an interaction between the two—the organism and its environment. This means that, in regards to humans, social behavior can be determined by both the individual characteristics of the person, and the situation they are in.

<p>Health behavior refers to a person's beliefs and actions regarding their health and <a href="Well-being" title="Well-being">well-being</a>. Health behaviors are direct factors in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Health behaviors are influenced by the social, cultural, and physical environments in which we live. They are shaped by individual choices and external constraints. Positive behaviors help promote health and prevent disease, while the opposite is true for risk behaviors.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Health behaviors are early indicators of population health. Because of the time lag that often occurs between certain behaviors and the development of disease, these indicators may foreshadow the future burdens and benefits of health-risk and health-promoting behaviors.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Correlates">Correlates</h3></div>
<p>A variety of studies have examined the relationship between health behaviors and health outcomes (e.g., Blaxter 1990) and have demonstrated their role in both morbidity and mortality.
</p><p>These studies have identified seven features of lifestyle which were associated with lower morbidity and higher subsequent long-term survival (Belloc and Breslow 1972):
</p>
<ul><li>Avoiding snacks</li>
<li>Eating breakfast regularly</li>
<li>Exercising regularly</li>
<li>Maintaining a desirable body weight</li>
<li>Moderate alcohol intake</li>
<li>Not smoking</li>
<li>Sleeping 7–8hrs per night</li></ul>
<p>Health behaviors impact upon individuals' quality of life, by delaying the onset of chronic disease and extending active lifespan. Smoking, alcohol consumption, diet, gaps in primary care services and low screening uptake are all significant determinants of poor health, and changing such behaviors should lead to improved health.
For example, in US, Healthy People 2000, <a href="United_States_Department_of_Health_and_Human_Services" title="United States Department of Health and Human Services">United States Department of Health and Human Services</a>, lists increased physical activity, changes in nutrition and reductions in tobacco, alcohol and drug use as important for health promotion and disease prevention.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Treatment_approach">Treatment approach</h3></div>
<p>Any interventions done are matched with the needs of each individual in an ethical and respected manner. <a href="Health_belief_model" title="Health belief model">Health belief model</a> encourages increasing individuals' perceived susceptibility to negative health outcomes and making individuals aware of the severity of such negative health behavior outcomes. E.g. through health promotion messages. In addition, the health belief model suggests the need to focus on the benefits of health behaviors and the fact that barriers to action are easily overcome. The <a href="Theory_of_planned_behavior" title="Theory of planned behavior">theory of planned behavior</a> suggests using persuasive messages for tackling behavioral beliefs to increase the readiness to perform a behavior, called <i>intentions</i>. The theory of planned behavior advocates the need to tackle normative beliefs and control beliefs in any attempt to change behavior. Challenging the normative beliefs is not enough but to follow through the <i>intention</i> with self-efficacy from individual's mastery in problem solving and task completion is important to bring about a positive change.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Self efficacy is often cemented through standard persuasive techniques.
