Glanz & Rimer - Part 2 Flashcards
According to the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) and the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), what is the most important determinant of behaviour?
Behavioural intention.
Expectations (Social Cognitive Theory)
Anticipated outcomes of a behaviour
Precaution Adoption Model
7 distinct stages in the journey from lack of awareness to adoption and/or maintenance of a behaviour.
Relevance (community organization)
Community organizing that starts where the people are, activating participants to address issues that are important to them.
Preparation (Stages of Change Model)
Intends to take action within the next thirty days and has taken some behavioural steps in this direction.
Five stages in the Stages of Change Model
Precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance.
Communication channels (Diffusion of Innovations Theory)
The means of transmitting the new idea from one person to another.
What factors determine how quickly, and to what extent, an innovation will be adopted and diffused?
Relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, observability.
What is a potential change strategy during the Precontemplation stage? (Stages of Change Model)
Increasing awareness of need for change. Personalized information about risks and benefits.
Stages of the Precaution Adoption Model
Unaware of issue. Unengaged by issue. Deciding about acting. Decided Not to act. Decided to act. Acting. Maintenance.
The media
Interconnected, large scale organizations the gather, process, and disseminate news, information, entertainment, and advertising worldwide.
Communication Theory describes…
… how different types of communication affect health behavior.
Compatibility (Key attributes affecting the speed and extent of an innovation’s diffusion)
An appropriate fit with the intended audience
Three general types of community organizing:
Locality development, social planning, social action.
Action (Stages of Change Model)
Has changed behaviour for less than six months.
Diffusion of Innovation Theory addresses…
… how ideas, products, and social practises that are perceived as “new” spread throughout a society or from one society to another.
Which theory did Social Cognitive Theory evolve from?
Social Learning Theory
Time (Diffusion of Innovations Theory)
How long it takes to adopt the innovation
The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) and the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) explores the relationships between…
Behaviour and beliefs, attitudes, and intention.
Generalized learning
In addition to the message Self, people are persuaded about concepts related to the message.
Critical consciousness (community organization)
Awareness of social, political, and economic forces that contribute to social problems.
Precontemplation (Stages of Change Model)
Has no intention of taking action within the next six months
Framing
A process in which someone tells the audience what aspect of the story is important.
Self-efficacy (Social Cognitive Theory)
Confidence in one’s ability to take action and overcome barriers
What does the Social Cognitive Theory explore and describe?
It explores the reciprocal interactions of people and their environments, and the psychosocial determinants of health behaviour. It describes a dynamic, ongoing process in which personal factors, environmental factors, and human behaviour exert influence upon each other.
According to Social Cognitive Theory, which three main factors affect the likelihood that a person will change a health behaviour?
Self-efficacy, goals, and outcome expectancies.
Social diffusion
Messages stimulate discussion among social groups, thereby affecting beliefs.
How does the social action model differ from other forms of community intervention?
It is grassroots-based, conflict oriented, and geared to mobilizing disadvantage people to act on their own behalf.
Reciprocal determinism (Social Cognitive Theory)
The dynamic interaction of the person, behaviour, and the environment in which the behaviour is performed.
Behavioural Capability (Social Cognitive Theory)
Knowledge and skills to perform a given behaviour.
Social planning
Task oriented. Stresses problem-solving and usually relies heavily on expert practitioners.
Which theories and perspectives work well with community organization?
And ecological perspective, social cognitive theory based strategies, social networks and social support theories, and social systems theory.
Subjective Norm (Theory of Planned Behaviour)
Beliefs about whether key people approve or disapprove of the behaviour motivation to behave in a way that gains their approval.
Relative advantage (Key attributes affecting the speed and extent of an innovation’s diffusion)
Shows it’s superiority over whatever it replaces
