Q

Age as a distal influence:

A

In adolescence, more credence is given to the attitudes, beliefs, values and behaviour on one’s peers(and siblings) than to the advice or attitudes of parents or teachers

We all tend to listen to messages from others when they are congruent to our pre- existing beliefs

Q

Gender as a distal influence

A

Reiner et al(2016), makes perceived behaviour as less risky, took more risks, we’re less sensitive to negative outcomes and we’re less socially anxious than female participants

Q

Reasons for gender differences in behaviour

A

Perhaps differences relate to projections of masculinity and a desire to be seen as ‘strong’, as suggested with regards to drinking alcohol excessively(visser and smith 2007), or avoiding seeking health care which is an issue in older men as well as in adolescents

Q

Steptoe and Wardle (2001)

A

Analysis of 7000+ students across 18 countries
- the odds of healthy behaviour increased by 40% amongst those high in internal HLOC compared to those low in internal HLOC , and reduced by 20% in those high in chance HLOC compared to low in chance LOC
- internal associated with health- protective behaviour

Q

What are ‘attitudes’ in proximal influences

A
  • orientations to objects/ people/ events
  • in attitude-object relationship there are three components: thoughts, behaviours and feelings
    • cognitive- beliefs about attitude
    • emotional- feelings toward object
    • behavioural- intended action

25
Q

What do studies need to measure with perceived risk

A

Studies need to measure ‘perceived risk’ in relation to ‘actual risk’

26
Q

Goals and motivations

A

Goals focus our mind and direct out behaviour(self- regulation)
- outcome expectancies within social cognition theory(carver and Scheier)

27
Q

Social cognitive theory(SCT) Bandura

A

According to Bandura, behaviour is determined by three types of individual expectancies:
• situation-outcome expectancies
• outcome expectancies
• self- efficacy beliefs

28
Q

What does Bandura mean by ‘situation-outcome expectancies’

A

Whereby a person connects a situation to an outcome
For example, smoking to heart attack

29
Q

What does Bandura mean by ‘outcome expectancies’

A

For example, believing that stopping smoking would reduce the risk of a heart attack

30
Q

What does Bandura mean by ‘self-efficacy beliefs’

A

For example, the extent to which the person believe they can stop smoking

31
Q

Behavioural beliefs, Self-efficacy in depth (3)

A

• “A belief in one’s capabilities to organise and execute the sources of action required to manage prospective situations”- Bandura (confidence)
• Believing that a future action is within your capabilities is likely to generate other cognitive and emotional activity
• these cognitions and emotions in turn affect actions

32
Q

Psychosocial factors (7)

A
  • demographic factors
  • personality
  • social norms
  • attitudes
  • risk perception and unrealistic optimism
  • goals and motivation
  • self-efficacy
33
Q

What did Van Capellen et al and the ‘upward spiral theory of lifestyle change’ suggest

A

Considers the role of positive affect and implicit motives in relation to health behaviour change, perhaps particularly relevant to the maintenance of behaviour change

34
Q

Models of health behaviour 1

A

• continuum models
- health belief model(HBM)
- Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA)- theory of planned behaviour(TPB)
- implementation intentions

35
Q

The importance of models (7)

A
  • theories can be modelled
  • models are rudimentary- most theoretical frameworks are not sufficiently detailed to fully explain observations
  • constructing models to test hypotheses
  • generate research
  • predict behaviour and explain data
  • solve problems
  • models describe associations, theories explain them
36
Q

Caveats to modelling health behaviour

A

Different health behaviours are controlled by different external factors

37
Q

Gives examples to how different health behaviours are controlled by different external factors:(5)

A
  • attitudes towards health behaviours vary within(as well as between) individuals
  • motivating factors may differ for different health behaviours
  • motivating factors may change over time
  • individual differences in attitudes and motivations are in part explained by life stage and the associated perceived norms
  • the social context can trigger or alternatively limit behaviour
38
Q

Early theory of health behaviour change

A

Information -> Attitude change ->behaviour change

39
Q

Health belief model assumptions (Becker)(3)

A

Assumption 1- ‘situation outcome beliefs’- a situation is connected to an outcome
Assumption 2- ‘outcome expectancies’ - by taking a recommended positive action, an individual can avoid a negative health condition
Assumption 3-‘self-efficacy beliefs’- individual believes they can smoothly and successfully take action to prevent a negative health consequence (draws on ‘subjective utility theory)

40
Q

Health behaviour model, mechanisms of behaviour: (4)

A
  • perception of threat
  • behavioural evaluation
  • cues to action
  • health motivation
41
Q

Health behaviour model- cues to action: (3) and when was it added

A

1975
• internal cues, eg symptom of illness
• External cues - TV programme, other people’s experience
• cues to action will predict health behaviour directly and indirectly

42
Q

Health behaviour model- health motivation (1) and when was it added

A

1977
- how important is health to me- will directly predict health behaviour

43
Q

Health behaviour model limitations (7)

A
  • several versions- different content depending on time used
  • may better predict preventative behaviour uptake, than risk behaviour reduction
  • components studies independently but may interact and vary in salience - weightings
  • over-estimates the time of threat- overuse of fear arousal can be counterproductive
  • static model- excludes change in beliefs/perceptions
  • does not include emotions- scientists have increasingly recognised the importance of affect in understanding health behaviour (kiviniemi et al)
  • removing barriers is not always sufficient to increase behaviour (Rhodes)
44
Q

Theory of planned behaviour (Azjen,1985,1991)

A

1) social cognition model - Bandura
2) assumes people’s social perceptions, expectations and beliefs in social situations determine behaviour
3) the TPB addresses the psychological processes linking attitude and behaviour by incorporating wider social influences and perceived norms, beliefs in personal behavioural control, and the necessity of intention formation
4) added perceived behavioural control (PBC) to Earlier theory of reasoned action- PBC directly influences both behaviour intention and behaviour

45
Q

What is TPB (theory of planned behaviour) (4)

A
  • attitude
  • perceived subjective norm
  • perceive behavioural control
  • intention
46
Q

Attitude example and subjective norm example

A

Attitude: smoking is dangerous, stopping will reduce chance of cancer/ other illness (outcome expectancies) and my health is important- I play sports (outcome value)
Subjective norm: my pals in sports team don’t smoke, they are always in at me to stop (normative beliefs) and I want to be as fit as them(motivation to comply)

47
Q

What is the internal control for TPB

A

Skills/ abilities/ information

48
Q

What’s so is the external control for TPB

A

Obstacles/ opportunities

49
Q

How is an indirect relationship in TPB modelled

A

Via intention

50
Q

Direct relationship between PBC

A

Behaviour is also possible if perceptions control were accurate
If a person believes that they have control over their diet and actually do, then behaviour is likely to change; but if food preparation is under someone else’s control, behavioural change is less likely even if a positive intention had been formed

51
Q

Sutton and White 2016 systematic review method

A

Systematic review and meta-analysis of 38 studies of predictors of sun- protection intentions and behaviour

52
Q

Sutton and white 2016 study for PBC results

A

• attitudes were the strongest predictors of intentions
• and intentions were stronger than PBC sub terms of predicting behaviour

53
Q

Limitations of TPB (4)

A
  • does not acknowledge bi-directional relationships between IVs and DVs
  • research evidence of a strong link between behavioural intentions and behaviour over- relied on cross- sectional data
  • assumption that the same factors that lead to initiation of health behaviours also maintain them- not much evidence on maintenance
  • intention theorised as the critical precursor of behaviour change, but intervening to increase intention has not had a huge effect on behaviour
54
Q

Gollwitzer implementation intentions

A
  • increases commitment
  • good outcome when goals are valued, and self-efficacy is high
  • work well whether goal is more proximal or distal
55
Q

Stage model

A

Transtheoretical model
Health action process approach (HAPA)

56
Q

Stage theories and Weinsteins 4 properties

A

1) classification system to define stages
2) ordering of stages
3) common barriers to change facing people within same stage
4) different barriers to change facing people in different stages

57
Q

Transtheoretical model TTM (prochaska and Diclemente1986)

A

Stages of change - developed from smokers who quit
Stage quitters move through when stopping
Different processes involved at each stage

58
Q

The Transtheoretical model (8)

A

1) precontemplation
2) contemplation
3) preparation
4)action
5)relapse
6) maintenance
7) relapse
8) termination(6 months)

59
Q

Health action process approach (HAPA,Schwarze)

A
  • a hybrid model, having both ‘static’ and staged, temporal qualities
  • distinguishes motivational and volitional phases
    • volitional phase: 2 phases in which individuals first decide to act and then make plans to begin- maintain behaviour
    • motivational phase: self- efficacy, outcome expectancies and risk perceptions
60
Q

Volition phase is dived further into:

A

• planning phase
• action phase
• maintenance phase

SELF EFFICACY IS CRUCIAL IN BOTH PHASES

61
Q

Met- analysis of 95 studies using HAPA:

A

• Confirmed the predictive role of both action and maintenance( motivational and volitional) self efficacy
• and of outcome expectancy
• the effects of outcome expectancies and action self-efficacy were, as hypothesised, mediated by intentions, and by action and coping planning
• NB meta analysis points to different strength if effect depending on the behaviour studied eg, action self-efficacy had a larger effect on physical activity intentions and behaviour than it did on dietary change

62
Q

Positive affect and enjoyment in behaviour change maintainencae

A

Positive affect and enjoyment may be necessary conditions for behaviour change maintainenance
