Case 2 EPH2022 Flashcards
What determinants of intention does TPB suggest?
- Attitude towards behaviour
- Subjective norm
- Self-efficacy / perceived behavioural control
What are socio-cognitive models?
- Health belief model
- social cognitive theory
- Theory of subjective culture & interpersonal relations
- Theory of self-regulation & self-control
- Change model
- theory of reasoned action
- theory of planned behaviour
What do the TPB & TRA have in common?
- Both explore relationship between behaviour & beliefs, attitudes & intentions.
- Assume intention is most important determinant of behaviour
According to the models, what influences behavioural intention?
By attitude towards performing a behaviour & by beliefs about whether individuals important. tothe person approve or disapprove of the behaviour
How does TPB differ from TRA?
Includes 1 additional construct: perceived behavioural control; construct has to do with people’s beliefs that they can control a particular behaviour
*How does TPB relate to TRA?
TPB is extension of TRA coz it was limited in dealing with behaviours over which poeple have no control
What are 3 types of salient beliefs?
- Behavioural beliefs
- Normative beliefs
- Control beliefs
what are behavioural beliefs?
Infleunces attitudes towards the behaviour
An individual’s belief about consequences of particular behavior.
What are normative beliefs?
individuals’ beliefs about extent to which other people who are important to them think they should or should not perform particular behaviors.
What are control beliefs?
Individual’s beliefs about the presence of factors that may facilitate or hinder performance of the behaviour
What does the TPB exclude?
- Habits & emotions
- environmental infleunces
- Doesn’t pay enough attention to behaviours that occur unconciously.
What is scarcity?
scarcity = feeling of having less than is needed (takes into account the resources amount and demands placed upon it)
What is income scarcity
- perceive they have less money than their monthly expenses requires
- low income & perceived ability to cope financially
What is income scarcity a determinant of?
Healthy eating & physical inactivity which can lead to health inequalities
How does time scarcity affect behavioural change?
- Being active & cooking healthy takes time
- Less free time = less physical activity
- poor work life balance, irregular shifts, extra working hours
- amount of hours is the same but how people’s time is valued & capaicty to control time varies by social status
What happens if scarcity persists?
Can create a synergestic rise in behavioural risk factors for promoting chronic disease, especially physical inactivity.
Even if people with low income & have plety of time (vice versa), priorities can still be socially determined.
Who is more vulnerably for income/time scarcity?
- immigrants
- self-employed
- being gendered
- Developing countries more at risk for time/income scarcity.
Income:
- less educated
- Poor health
- low skills
Time:
- lone parents
- women
- caregivers
What does scarcity theory focus on & what impact does it have on your body?
- Focuses on chronic stress part of socioeconomic differences
- If you have scarcity, brain has less mental energy & more problems with focusing
How can behaviour be changed?
- Behaviour change interventions
- Motivation to make a change
- Awareness
- Social support (e.g. stoptober)
- Change habits (self-control)
- Battle addiction - quitting one addiction often leads to another
- Self protection
Barriers to behavioural change?
Income & time scarcity
What is the behavioural change wheel?
Model that captures factors affecting behaviours & the different types of interventions that can be used to change behaviours.
What are the 3 sources of behaviour according to the behavioural change wheel?
- Motivation
- Capability
- Opportunity
What is motivation?
Behavioural change wheel
reflective and automatic behaviour that activate or inhibit behaviour.
Reflective motivation - thinking about it.
Automatic motivation - happens automatically e.g. making coffee every morning
