List models of behavior change
- transtheoretical model = stages of change model
- self-efficacy model
- health belief model
What intervention technique does behavioral medicine teach/ rely on?
motivational interviewing
basic behavioral principles include… (list 5)
- behavioral antecedents
- behavioral consequences
- counter conditioning
- baseline measures
- reinforcement
behavioral antecedents
come before a behavior; trigger a behavior
behavioral consequences
after a behavior
reward or punishment
counter conditioning
replace the bad behavior with good behavior
baseline measures
- measure before you start a change plan
- how often you do the behavior trying to change
reinforcement
-immediate vs. delayed

schedule of reinforcement: intermittent or fixed
which type of reinforcement is more powerful
immediate reinforcement
“People will only try to do what they think they can do and won’t do what they think they can’t”…
describes what model of behavior change
self efficacy model
4 factors that influence self efficacy
- mastery experience
- vicarious experience
- verbal persuasion
- somatic & emotional states
mastery experience
- self efficacy model
- providing opportunities for ppl to gain mastery on simple and difficult tasks helps develop self efficacy
What’s a good way to incorporate mastery experiences into behavior change?
build mastery experiences into change plan and build them up continually higher and closer to the goal
Vicarious experience
- self efficacy model
- observation of successes and failures of others who are similar
- ex: weight watchers
verbal persuasion
- self efficacy model
- persuaded verbally that they CAN do it
- like coaches, trainers
(vs. being told they CAN’T do it)
somatic & emotional states
- self efficacy model
- physical & emotional states that occur when you contemplate doing something
- stress, worry, anxiety, fear - if emotional state improves, self efficacy is possible
Who developed the Health Belief Model and why?
- social psychologists
- find out why people would or wouldn’t use health services
What are the theoretical constructs of the Health Belief Model?
- Perceived Threat
- Perceived Benefits
- Perceived Barriers
- Cues to Action
- Self Efficacy
- Modifying Variables
Thoughts from the Health Belief Model on how to create behavior change
- cost benefit analysis (threat vs benefits vs barriers)
- need a cue to action
- need the self efficacy to take action
2 parts of perceived threat
- perceived susceptibility
- opinion of chance of getting a condition/disease
- perceived seriousness
- opinion of seriousness of condition & its consequences
perceived benefits
one’s opinion of the efficacy of the advised action to reduce risk
-how advantageous it’s going to be to reduce the risk
perceived barriers
- if you think there are barriers, you’re less likely to try
- one’s opinion of the cost to overcome the barriers
cues to action
triggers needed to activate readiness
-like dad getting dx’d with cancer
self efficacy
confidence in one’s ability to take action
