Identifying content-based and relational techniques to change behaviour in motivational interviewing
Overview
This paper classifies motivational interviewing techniques into content-based and relational categories to address the lack of systematic isolation within the field. Three experts analyzed techniques based on Miller and Rollnick's conceptualization, while ten independent experts coded them for uniqueness and compared them against the Behavior Change Technique Taxonomy version 1. The study identified 38 distinct MI techniques, noting that many overlap with existing behavior change taxonomies, aiming to provide researchers with tools to specify interventions more clearly.
