Q

Behavior Change Theories

Core constructs of the transtheoretical model

A
  • Stages of change: temporal dimension – a process
  • Processes of change: covert and overt activities that unfold over time. people use to progress through the stages – they are important guides for intervention programs.
  • Decisional balance: weighing pros and cons of changing.
  • Self-efficacy: ability to successfully do something.

Q

Behavior Change Theories

Processes of change:

A
  1. Consciousness raising – increasing awareness of facts related to the behavior.
  2. Dramatic relief – experiencing negative emotions related to the unhealthy behavior.
  3. Environmental reevaluation – realizing implications of the behavior on one’s social & physical environment.
  4. Social liberation – realizing that social norms are changing to support the healthy behavior.
  5. Self-reevaluation – realizing that the behavior change is an important part of one’s identity
  6. Stimulus control – removing reminders of unhealthy behavior & adding reminders of healthy behavior.
  7. Helping relationships – using social support for behavior change.
  8. Counter conditioning – substituting a healthy behavior for the unhealthy one.
  9. Reinforcement management – increasing rewards for positive behavior & decreasing those for unhealthy behavior
  10. Self-liberation – making a firm commitment to change
20
Q

Behavior Change Theories

the belief that one can successfully execute the behavior required to produce the outcomes

A

SELF-EFFICACY

21
Q

Behavior Change Theories

the relative weight people assign to the pros and cons of a behavior influences their decisions about behavior changes

A

DECISIONAL BALANCE

Decisional balance is derived via a comparison of the strength of perceived pros of the target behavior with the perceived cons.

22
Q

Behavior Change Theories

___________ and ___________ leads to individual behavioral acts.

A

Decisional balance and self-efficacy

23
Q

Behavior Change Theories

Chronic behavioral patterns are under some combination of

A

biological, social, and self-control

Stage-matched interventions have been designed primarily to enhance self-control.

24
Q

Behavior Change Theories

When behaviors are strongly associated with socioeconomic and educational status it is important to address the

A

behavior’s role in the broader social and physical context

25
Q

Behavior Change Theories

A dynamic, on-going process in which personal factors, environmental factors, and human behavior exert influence on each other.

A

SOCIAL COGNITIVE THEORY

interpersonal level

26
Q

Behavior Change Theories

In the social cognitive model, the likelihood of a behavior change is determined by 3 factors:

A
  1. Self-efficacy
  2. Goals
  3. Outcomes expectations

(affected by the environment)

27
Q

Behavior Change Theories

Knowledge & skill to perform a behavior

A

Behavioral capability (self-efficacy)

28
Q

Behavior Change Theories

Dynamic interaction between person, behavior, and environment in which the behavior is performed.

A

Reciprocal determinism

(SOCIAL COGNITIVE THEORY CONSTRUCTS, INTERPERSONAL LEVEL)

29
Q

Behavior Change Theories

Behavior modeling – behavior acquisition that comes from watching the actions and outcomes of others

A

Observational learning

(Social Cognitive Theory)

30
Q

Behavior Change Theories

Confidence in one’s ability to take action

A

Self-efficacy

31
Q

Behavior Change Theories

Responses to the behavior that influence the likelihood of the behavior reoccurring.

A

Reinforcements

(Social Cognitive Theory)

32
Q

Behavior Change Theories

Explanatory theory describes the reasons why

A

a problem exists

It guides the search for factors that contribute to a problem (e.g., a lack of knowledge, self-efficacy, social support, or resources), and can be changed. Examples of explanatory theories include the Health Belief Model, the Theory of Planned Behavior, and the Precaution Adoption Process Model.

33
Q

Behavior Change Theories

Examples of explanatory theories include the

A

Health Belief Model, the Theory of Planned Behavior, and the Precaution Adoption Process Model.

34
Q

Behavior Change Theories

Change theory guides the

A

development of health interventions

Change theory helps program planners to be explicit about their assumptions for why a program will work. Examples of change theories include Community Organization and Diffusion of Innovations.

35
Q

Behavior Change Theories

Examples of change theories include

A

Community Organization and Diffusion of Innovations.

36
Q

Behavior Change Theories

Two key concepts of the ecological perspective help to identify intervention points for promoting health:

A
  1. first, behavior both affects, and is affected by, multiple levels of influence
  2. individual behavior both shapes, and is shaped by, the social environment (reciprocal causation).
37
Q

Behavior Change Theories

The second key concept (first being the levels of influence) of an ecological perspective is

A

reciprocal causation
suggests that people both influence, and are influenced by, those around them.

38
Q

Behavior Change Theories

Beliefs about the chances of getting a condition

A

Perceived susceptibility

39
Q

Behavior Change Theories

Beliefs about the seriousness of a condition and its consequences

A

Perceived severity

40
Q

Behavior Change Theories

Beliefs about the effectiveness of taking action to reduce risk or seriousness

A

Perceived benefits

41
Q

Behavior Change Theories

Beliefs about the material and psychological costs of taking action

A

Perceived barriers

42
Q

Behavior Change Theories

this theory along and the associated Theory of Reasoned Action explore the relationship between behavior and beliefs, attitudes, and intentions.

A

The Theory of Planned Behavior

Both the TPB and the TRA assume behavioral intention is the most important determinant of behavior.

43
Q

Behavior Change Theories

The Theory of Planned Behavior differs from the Theory of Reasoned Action in that it includes one additional construct:

A

perceived behavioral control

this construct has to do with people’s beliefs that they can control a particular behavior. Azjen and Driver added this construct to account for situations in which people’s behavior, or behavioral intention, is influenced by factors beyond their control. They argued that people might try harder to perform a behavior if they feel they have a high degree of control over it.
