18
Q

What is a theory and why is it used?

A

n academic interpretation of why and how things happen

helps understand why an individuals physically inactive
identifies constructs that explain engagement and disengagement with physical activity, we can then work on change

19
Q

Why should interventions be formed from theories?

A

allows targeting and influencing of the right factors
this should lead to successful behaviour change
helps us identify what worked and what has not
allows measurement of change
allows evaluation of the processes by which a behaviour is modified or changed

20
Q

Describe the health belief model as a theory of behaviour change?

A

people know that its good to exercise but we dont do it- why?
demographics- genetics, age
psychological characteristics- group pressure
we look at the threat of the illness- how bad is it actually- perceived susceptibility
perceived severity- eg diabetes, you wont die, theres drugs
health motivation- how important is it to change to you
perceived benefits and barriers of changing behaviour
cue to action- you dont care about exercise but all your friends do it, so your influenced
self efficacy

21
Q

What is a limitation of this model?

A

it shows us the factors that may influence us to change our behaviour but it doesn’t show us how we can change it

22
Q

What type of model is the health belief model?

A

linear

23
Q

What is the theory of planned behaviour?

A

attitude towards behaviour- positive or negative feeling about physical activity

subjective norm- do family exercise, what is the norm

perceived behavioural control- do we feel in control of our behaviour

all these influence intention (motivation to change)
is the intention is there then we change behaviour

24
Q

What is a limitation of the theory of planned behaviour?

A

the theory assumes that if out intentions are there, then we automatically do the behaviour however this is false

25
Q

What type of theory is the theory of planned behaviour?

A

linear

26
Q

What is the transtheoretical model?

A

states that people are in different stages of wanting to change their behaviour
for each stage we approach them differently and try and move them along the scale to changing behaviour
when we change- we have to work hard to maintain
relapses could occur

27
Q

What are the 6 stages of the transtheoretical model?

A

pre contemplation- dont want to change or dont know they need to (try raise consciousness about what they are doing is bad)
contemplation- thinking of changing behaviour (being aware they need to change) (ask them to reflect, see whats stopping them from changing)
preparation- feel like they can do this, make a plan, research, join friends who exercise or do the behaviour you want for guidance
action- do the behaviour less than 6 months
maintenance- doing behaviour for a while
termination

28
Q

What type of model is the transtheoretical model?

A

multidisciplinary not linear

29
Q

What should we focus on using the transtheoretical model in our intervention to change a certain behaviour?

A

10 processes of change- stratagies to maintain or make a change, use this in intervention

decisional balance- cost vs benefit, see if there is benefit of changing behaviour

self efficacy- confidence to engage in behaviour

30
Q

How is the transtheoretical model different to other models?

A

its a cycle

addresses weaknesses from other models

31
Q

What are the limitations of the behaviour change theories?

A

small effect individually
often not always targets only one factor
intention behaviour gap
motivation, rationale behaviour

32
Q

Who created the COM B model?

A

Michie et al 2011

33
Q

Why is the COM B model used for by coaches?

A

helps them see what needs to change in order for behaviour change intervention to be effective

34
Q

What needs to be present in to COM B model for behaviour change to occur?

A

capability
opportunity
motivation

a person needs all 3 in order for them to change their behaviour
all 3 factors influence each other

35
Q

What is capability?

A

attribute of a person that together with opportunity makes a behaviour change possible to happen

they need to be psychologically capable and physically capable

36
Q

What is opportunity?

A

attribute to the environmental system that together with capability makes change possible

need physical opportunity (finance, material resources)
social opportunity (people)
37
Q

What is motivation?

A

mental processes that energise and direct behaviour

reflective motivation- making plans
automatic- drive related, desires, habits

intrinsic and extrinsic motivation

38
Q

Why is opportunity and capability important?

A

capability and opportunity need to be present and open for motivation to generate behaviour

the greater the opportunity and capability, the more likely the behaviour will occur because the more often the gates will be open for motivation to be present

the more capable we think we are, the more the enviro is to enacting it

39
Q

What is the behaviour change wheel?

A

continuation of the COM B model

40
Q

What is the behaviour change wheel (2014) made up of?

A

9 intervention functions (for each function there are many behaviour change techniques)
7- policy categories
creates framework for designing intervention for behaviour change

41
Q

What is the difference between the COM B model and behaviour change wheel?

A

COM B tells you what needs to change

behaviour change wheel tells you how you can change it

42
Q

What is the intervention process using the COM B model?

A

stage 1- understanding the behaviour
stage 2- identify intervention options
stage 3- identify context
