特别是在健康领域，人类茁壮成长，以达到最大限度的快乐和最小限度的伤害之间的平衡。我们认为，人们达到这种平衡的认知策略是激活补偿性健康信念（CHBs）。CHB是一种信念，认为不健康行为的负面影响可以通过从事另一种健康行为来补偿或“中和”。“我现在可以吃这块蛋糕，因为我今晚要锻炼”就是这种信念的一个例子。我们的理论框架旨在解释为什么人们会产生CHB，以及他们如何利用CHB来调节他们的健康行为。该模型通过明确整合情感状态（即，渴望或欲望）和动机（即，健康目标）。正如该模型所预测的那样，以前的研究表明，持有CHB会阻碍个人在积极健康行为改变方面的成功，并可能解释为什么许多人未能坚持节食或锻炼等行为改变计划。此外，未来的研究使用的模型和可能的干预措施的影响进行了讨论。
Particularly in the health domain, humans thrive to reach an equilibrium between maximizing pleasure and minimizing harm. We propose that a cognitive strategy people employ to reach this equilibrium is the activation of Compensatory Health Beliefs (CHBs). CHBs are beliefs that the negative effects of an unhealthy behaviour can be compensated for, or "neutralized:' by engaging in another, healthy behaviour. "I can eat this piece of cake now because I will exercise this evening" is an example of such beliefs. Our theoretical framework aims at explaining why people create CHBs and how they employ CHBs to regulate their health behaviours. The model extends current health behaviour models by explicitly integrating the motivational conflict that emerges from the interplay between affective states (i.e., cravings or desires) and motivation (i.e., health goals). As predicted by the model, previous research has shown that holding CHBs hinder an individual's success at positive health behaviour change, and may explain why many people fail to adhere to behaviour change programs such as dieting or exercising. Moreover, future research using the model and implications for possible interventions are discussed.
