Models of behaviour help us to understand specific behaviours, by identifying the underlying factors which influence them. There are individualistic models and social models.
By contrast, theories of change show how behaviours change over time, and how they can be changed.
Behavioural theory is diagnostic, and change theory is more pragmatic.
Both are important to understand when designing interventions.

Models are concepts, not representations of behaviour There is a limit to how far models will stretch Models don’t tend to differentiate between people Factors don’t always precede behaviour Factors are not barriers

INDIVIDUALISTIC (A-B-C Models)
Rational choice models based on cost-benefit calculations (classical economics)
Information deficit models are based on linear assumptions: information generates knowledge, which shapes attitudes, which lead to behaviour (classical economics)
Bounded rationality models include psychological principles such as cognitive biases and environmental constraints (behavioural economics)
Value Action Gap shows the difference of what people say and what they do (social psychology)

Re-arrange the elements that hold certain practices together Social practices are by their nature habitual and arise from interaction of people with social world (looped feedback) People are not originators of behaviour, but carriers of practice which they reproduce Have to address elements in social world which support a particular practice
