Module 4 Flashcards
The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) includes six stages of change. A person who does not regularly exercise makes a plan to exercise in the upcoming month. He schedules an appointment to speak with his healthcare provider and joins a fitness center. Which stage of the TTM does this best describe?
Preparation
The self-liberation process of change in the Transtheorectical Model is similar to self-efficacy in that it is:
predicated on personal belief in ability to change
The behavioral process that involves modifying the environment to increase cues for healthy behavior and decrease cues for unhealthy behavior is known as:
stimulus control
Using the Transtheoretical Model as the basis for a behavior change intervention entails:
using the stages and processes of change to enable the change to occur
The experiential process that entails raising awareness about causes, consequences, and cures for a particular problem is known as:
consciousness raising
SDT proposes that there are three basic psychological needs that are essential for optimal development and functioning
the need for competence, the need for autonomy and the need for relatedness
SDT focuses on the amount of motivation rather than type of motivation
False
Researchers Ryan and Deci suggest that personal growth is attained following the attainment of basic psychological needs
True
The “over-justification effect” is:
the negative consequence of offering a reward for an intrinsically motivated behavior.
Basic psychological needs are developmentally and culturally-specific
False
According to the self-determination theory, intrinsically regulated behaviors are
performed because of interest
In self-determination theory (SDT), the experience of feeling able to achieve a desired outcome is known as:
competence.
Researchers Ryan and Deci suggest that personal growth is attained following the attainment of basic psychological needs
True
Extrinsic motivation can be broken down into four distinct categories
external regulation, introjected regulation, identified regulation and integrated regulation
Some kinds of extrinsic motivation come from within.
True
SDT proposes that humans have three basic psychological needs of existence, growth, and relatedness that must be satisfied within a social context in order for development and well-being to be achieved.
False
A student with a high internal locus of control is less likely to rely on good luck in achieving a passing score on an exam
True
LOC describes the individual with the greatest influence in another person’s life
False
LOC existing along a continuum from more internal control to more external control
True
Self-determination theory was developed by
Richard Ryan and Ed Deci
Self-determination theory (SDT) assumes that people evolved to be
inherently active, intrinsically motivated and oriented towards naturally developing through integrative processes
A sense of “relatedness” may be derived both from the experience of being cared for or the feeling that one can contribute, give, or care for others
True
SDT focuses on the amount of motivation rather than type of motivation
False
Locus of control describes the generalized expectancy regarding control of reinforcement across a broad number of situations
True
Imagine you are trying to develop a survey to assess one’s locus of control. The following question is appropriate to determine orientation and strength for the survey, true or false?
Every time I try to go ahead, something or somebody stops me.
1 ‘Strongly Agree’
2. ‘Agree’
3 ‘Disagree’
4 ‘Strongly Disagree
True
The self-liberation process of change in the Transtheorectical Model is similar to self-efficacy in that it is
predicated on personal belief in ability to change
Contemplation is the stage in which one is planning for change in the immediate future, usually defined as in the next month
False
The experiential process that involves both affective and cognitive components and includes one’s assessment of self-image with the new behavior is known as
self-reevaluation
An experiential process that refers to an increases or removes opportunities to engage in a behavior is known as
stimulus control
In an effort to move people from the contemplation stage in the Transtheoretical Model to the next stage, which of the following processes would be appropriate to use?
Self-reevaluation?
According to the Transtheoretical Model, temptation represents the converse of self-efficacy
True
Which of the following would be an example of the Transtheoretical Model counter conditioning process of change
A soda drinker switching to water
The behavioral process that utilizes reinforcements and punishments for taking steps in a particular direction is known as
reinforcement management
All of the following are potential criticisms of the transtheoretical model, except:
Explains behavior and not behavior change
The experiential process that refers to an increase in social opportunities or alternatives is known as
social liberation
Statement A: A strategy to build self-efficacy is to use persuasion and reassurance.
Statement B: Self-efficacy is the same as self-confidence
Statement A is true and statement B is false
According to the Transtheoretical Model, using the process of environmental reevaluation means that people look at their new behavior in light of how it will change the environment for the better
False
The stage in which one is planning for change in the immediate future, usually defined as in the next month, is known as
preparation
People move linearly through the six stages of the Transtheoretical Model, progressing from one stage to the next in a forward direction
False
Reliance on commitments, environmental controls, and support is most likely to happen among people in which stages of the TTM?
Action and maintenance
