Core principles of behavior change modes
- Behavior change is a process
- Effective change must come from within, not entirely from the coach
- interventions must be tailored to the individual
- planning is a critical factor in change management
self determination theory focuses on
the degree to which an individual’s behavior is self- determined and the processes through which an individual acquires the motivation to initiate new behaviours and maintain them over time
- where are they at mentally and are they prepared to make these changes
- recognizes importance of ones social environment
Motivation is and 3 characteristics of it
degree of determination, drive or desire with which an individual approaches or avoids a behaviour
- intensity of energy/effort
- direction (for/avoid)
- persistence (all the time or sometimes or not at a ll)
is all motivation equal according to SDT
no - extrinsic and intrinsic
what is intrinsic motivation
engagement in an activity for its own sake
extrinsic motivation
receive something form others or avoid certain negative outcomes
SDT says individuals have 3 basic psychological needs
Autonomy - I make the decision, I am not told what to do
Competence - master skills, do things well
Relatedness - social aspect, need to be with others
explain the self determination motivation continuum from a motivation to intrinsic motivation
a motivation: no regulation, no intention or desire for PA
Extrinsic motivation:
- external regulation + introjected regulation
(tries to change to get.avoid a reward or out of sense of guilt)
-identified regulation + integrated regulation
(seen as an important goal to accomplish but still not yet intrinsically motivated)
Intrinsic motivation
- intrinsic regulation
(take part in PA for sheer enjoyment)
what is the job of the QEP with regards to the SDT
bolster a clients autonomy, competence and relatedness for regular PA
