What are the constructs of SCT?
- Outcome expectations
- Outcome expectancies
- Self-efficacy
- Behavioral capacity
What is Outcome expectations in SCT?
Beliefs about what will happen if the behavior is performed, what are the consequences
What is Outcome expectancies in SCT?
Evaluation of outcomes or consequences of behavior
What is the behavioral capacity in SCT?
Actual ability to do the behavior (actual skill)
What are the process of change in SCT?
- Try behavior
Observe others
Hear what happens
(Experience Consequences) - Skills training
- Personal mastery
Vicarious experience
Verbal persuasion
Diminish arousal - Reinforcement
What process of change impacts outcome expectations and expectancies?
Try behavior
Observe others
Hear what happens
(Experience Consequences)
What process of change impacts Behavioral Capacity?
Skills training
What process of change impacts Self-efficacy?
Personal mastery
Vicarious experience
Verbal persuasion
Diminish arousal
What process of change impacts behavior
Reinforcement
What are the pros of SCT?
Self-efficacy is a powerful construct with considerable support.
Principles with tools and methods for change as well as prediction.
What are the cons of SCT?
Hard to tell how the many different constructs are inter-related
So many constructs
Measurement is weak for all but self-efficacy
What is an intervention?
the program or combination of
activities that is implemented in order to
facilitate change
What are stratagies/activities?
the specific events,
experiences, components that collectively
form the intervention
What are micro interventions?
planned and implemented for individuals
What are macro interventions
planned and implemented for a group of people
community-wide
What are communication Activities?
Courses, Seminars, Workshops
Brochures, Supplemental Written Materials
Internet-Based Learning
Best at Increasing awareness

Changing/Reinforcing attitudes
Maintaining Interest
What are educational Activities?

Increasing Knowledge
Supporting Attitude Change
Enhancing Skill Development
Behavior Modification
Used in individual level interventions
Focused on specific behavior/behavior pattern

consequences
Environmental Activities
Altering or controlling environment to
support changes in knowledge, attitudes,
behaviors, skills
“forced choice” vs. voluntary choice
activities
Regulatory Activities
Policy/Regulation Changes
Often considered mandates
Controversial in nature
Should be community-driven
Clear communication upon initiation
What is the role of theory in designing interventions?
Behavioral determinants are expressed in
terms of a theoretical foundation
