lecture 2: socio-cognitive models

Question 1

theory of planned behavior

Answer 1

1. behavioral beliefs x evaluation —> attitude
2. normative beliefs x motivation to comply –> subjective norm
3. control beliefs x power –> perceived behavioral control
   - -> behavioral intention –> behavior
4. = beliefs about the consequences of the behavior & evaluation of these beliefs (outcome expectancies and outcome evaluation)
5. = what you think other persons thinks that are important to you
6. = reflecting upon your experience with the behavior and facilitators of behavior
   “i think i will be strong enough to resist unhealthy food the coming month”

Question 2

TPB principle of aggregation & principle of compatibility

Answer 2

principle of aggregation
- use multiple items to measure a construct
- advantage: more valid and reliable, check consistency and variation
principle of compatibility
- be as specific as possible and make all items compatible
- TPB variables correlate stronger with behavior when they are more compatible

Question 3

protective motivation theory variables

Answer 3

1. threat appraisal
   - severity: how severe are the consequences of this health risk?
   - vulnerability: do I feel personally vulnerable to this health risk?
2. coping appraisal
   - response efficacy: is the recommended behavior effective in reducing the health risk?
   - self efficacy: can I perform the recommended behavior?
3. response costs: disadvantages of the health behavior
   - “if i drink alcohol i’m less social”

Question 4

health belief model

Answer 4

perceived susceptibility
perceived severity
costs 
benefits                                  ---> behavior
health motivation
cues to action

Question 5

social cognitive theory

Answer 5

1. outcome expectancies: physical, social, self-evaluative
2. social-structural factors: facilitator, impediments
3. self efficacy
   - —–> goals —-> behavior

Question 6

transtheoretical model of change

Answer 6

= different stages, different cognitions are important

1. pre-contemplation

3. preparation
