Predicting Health Behaviour Flashcards
What is the intention- behavior gap? What has been applied to address this issue?
The intention behavior gap is the inconsistency between behavioral intention and subsequent behavior. Models that have been extended to address this issue are:- (TPB)Adding variables, (HAPA)combining stage and continuum models together, (TST) consideration of past behavior, habit, self-regulation in executive function
What is the difference between stage and continuum theories?
Stage models have classification, ordering of stages, common barriers & different barriers. In other words they consider behavior change processes. Rather than being ‘static’
Name some stage models
Health action process approach (HAPA)
The Precaution Adoption process Model (PAPM)
the Transtheoretical model (TTM)
Name some continuum models
The Health belief model (HBM)
The theory of reasoned action (TRA)
The theory of planned behavior (TPB)
What are some of the influences on health behavior in regards to personal factors
Personality Attitudes Emotions Cognitive beliefs Behavioral intentions Locus of control Self-efficacy Unrealistic optimism
What are the 4 constructs in unrealistic optimism
Lack of personal experience
Belief action can prevent problem
If not present now unlikely in the future
Problem is rare
Humans are inconsistent because?
Social context, different motivations, beliefs and attitudes can vary within an individual
HBM consists of ?
Perceived susceptibility Perceived severity Perceived benefits Perceived barriers Cues to action Health motivation
Limitations of the HBM include?
Limited in social influences, static, assumes humans are rational, lacks specification of variable interaction. Provides only limited account of human action hence more extensive models were developed
The protection motivation theory can facilitate behavior change only when combined with?
Specific instructions in when, where and how
PMT (protection motivation theory) explains health related change via two cognitive components which are?
Threat appraisal and coping appraisal
Theory of reasoned action includes
Outcome expectancies
Normative beliefs
Control factors
Besides pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance in the Transtheoretical model what are the other two stages?
Termination & relapse
The precaution Adoption process model includes ?
Unaware of issue Unengaged Consideration of acting Decide not to Decide to act Action Maintenance
The Health Action Process Approach includes what 2 phases?
Motivation and violation phase
