PINA LOPEZ, Julio Alfonso. Variations on Ribess psychological model of biological health: justification and development. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2008, vol.7, n.1, pp. 19-32. ISSN 1657-9267.

Based on Kantors interbehavioral approach, in this paper we present some variations on Ribess psychological model of biological health. Because of both the underlying logic, and the characteristics of the elements that shape it, it is a field and multifactorial model which places a special emphasis on the interaction among a set of historical and situational variables that set probabilities for instrumental behaviors of prevention and risk.

Keywords : Psychological model; Prevention; Instrumental behaviors; Models; Psychological; Stress (psychology); HIV - Pathogenicity.
