After the teacher and students review and discuss the list of excuses, the teacher tells students that pressure to do something is often easier to cope with if you anticipate in advance what you will or will not do in response to pressure. The teacher asks students to think about a time when making up their mind in advance helped them, or would have helped them, deal with a tough situation. This teaching approach is likely to be most effective in promoting students': 
  1. Ability to recognize appropriate and inappropriate responses to intolerant attitudes.
  2. Use of decision-making and goal-setting skills to reduce potential health risks.
  3. Ability to differentiate between intrinsic and extrinsic influences on health behaviors
  4. Use of negotiation and collaboration skills to resolve interpersonal conflicts.
