What behavior change technique includes expressing empathy, developing discrepancy, rolling with resistance, and supporting self-efficacy?

Motivational interviewing (MI) is a well-established behavior change technique developed by Miller and Rollnick that is specifically characterized by its four core principles: expressing empathy, developing discrepancy, rolling with resistance, and supporting self-efficacy. These principles work together to help clients explore their own motivations and build confidence in their ability to change behavior.

Outcome expectancies refer to a cognitive construct about the anticipated results of a behavior, not a counseling technique with defined interaction principles.

Visual imagery is a mental rehearsal technique used to prepare clients for exercise scenarios, and does not involve the four MI principles described.

Addressing relapse is a strategy used within relapse prevention models to help clients recover from setbacks, not a technique defined by the four principles listed.
