青春期是增加风险的时期，最近的干预战略包括青少年计划或为同龄人制作抗风险信息。虽然这些项目可能会激发热情，但我们对信息规划或制作作为改变青少年决策和行为的策略知之甚少。本文阐述了积极参与理论（TAI）来描述和解释这些积极参与干预措施影响青少年的过程。TAI是基于社会认知理论的自我调节的概念，并检查多个角度采取和激活自我反思过程。该理论具体描述了参与者在积极参与干预中所经历的认知变化过程。这个序列被概念化为从参与干预（唤醒和参与）产生技能和知识增益（即时结果）开始，导致反思（感知差异），然后是其他认知（期望，规范，意图），最终结果是行为改变。让目标受众参与自我反思的过程被概念化为认知和行为方面有意义和可持续变化的关键因素。本文提供了宝贵的见解如何积极参与策略的功能，以及如何最好地设计这些干预措施，特别是针对青少年。
Adolescence is a time of increased risk taking, and recent intervention strategies have included adolescents planning or producing antirisk messages for their peers. Although these projects may generate enthusiasm, we know little about message planning or production as a strategy for changing adolescent decision-making and behavior. This article articulates the Theory of Active Involvement (TAI) to describe and explain the processes through which these active involvement interventions influence adolescents. TAI is based on social cognitive theory's notion of self-regulation and examines multiple perspective taking and activating the self-reflection processes. The theory specifically describes the process of cognitive changes experienced by participants in active involvement interventions. The sequence is conceptualized as starting when engagement with the intervention (arousal and involvement) produces skill and knowledge gains (immediate outcomes) that lead to reflection (perceived discrepancy) and then other cognitions (expectancies, norms, intentions), with the ultimate outcome being behavior change. Engaging the target audience in a process of self-reflection is conceptualized as the crucial ingredient for meaningful and sustainable change in cognitions and behavior. This article provides valuable insight into how active involvement strategies function and how to best design these interventions, particularly those targeting adolescents.
