Document Summary
Most interventions target behaviors and behavioral goals that are appropriate and useful for abehavior change intervention. Goal acceptability refers to the degree to which the outcome or behavioral goals are fair, appropriate and reasonable. Second, the goals should involve a clinically significant improvement that we can realistically hope to achieve. If the answer is yes for even one of the above answers then the behavior change goals might be acceptable but if the answer is no for the first one then it severely limits the goal acceptability. 2 theories that are the possible causes: one theory is based on respondent conditioning: homosexual preference is learned through conditioning. This view proposes that a person might acquire such conditioning is a same- sex person (the conditioned stimulus, cs) ere paired with the sexual arousal (uc), through seduction or sexual exploration. But no research has found any evidence related to either of the theories.
