The future of health behaviour change interventions: Opportunities for open science and personality research

Conclusion: To summarise, understanding, predicting and changing self-regulation processes will continue to be a central concern for health psychology and related disciplines. There is a real opportunity to improve the robustness of the health behaviour change evidence base by continuing to embrace the principles of Open Science together with investigating how individual differences and personality traits interact with these interventions. Future research should adopt more open, transparent and reproducible scientific practices and explore the role of individuals differences variables such as personality in order to provide a fuller understanding of when, where and how self-regulation processes are effective.
