AB - The present chapter explores the effect of behavior on reaching a successful aging. The chapter begins exploring the main protective factors that determine  a healthy life style. Then, main models of behavioral change are outlined with special emphasis to the empirical support obtained by each of them and detailing a specific example of a behavioural change program carried out in older people. The chapter continues analysing the relationship between personality (i.e. conscientiousness) and behavioural change, giving a special dedication to the role played by conscientiousness. Finally the chapter explores the role of education as an important determinant for successful aging.
