Q

state what it is meant by the key term - Self-Efficacy

A

SE is the belief in one’s own capabilities to execute the actions required to produce desired effects (Bandora. 1997;2000)

22
Q

how can SE be used to promote change ? (Pekmezi et al., 2010)

A

by raising SE and increasing outcome expectancy and value, we can encourage change

23
Q

state the 5 ways in which Self-Efficacy can be optimised

A
  1. performance accomplishments
  2. verbal persuasion
  3. interpretation of the psycho-physiological state
  4. vicarious experiences
  5. imaginal experiences
24
Q

what are the best role models for change (2 things) ?

A
  1. ideal if the client can identify and relate to the role model
  2. the role model should be similar (or less) in fitness capacity than the client
25
Q

explain, using 3 points, what it is meant by the key term - decisional balance

A
  1. people weigh up the pros and cons of exercising
  2. the balance between the pros and cons of exercising will determine the individuals decision
  3. helping the client reframe the pros and cons can help shift the balance
26
Q

what are the 2 different types of ‘processes of change’ with regards to the TTM ?

A
  1. experiential

2. behavioural

27
Q

state what it is meant by the key term - ‘experiential process of change’

A

strategies challenging the client’s beliefs, emotions, attitudes, and values; most important in the early stages of change

28
Q

state what it is meant by the key term - ‘behavioural process of change’

A

behaviours of self or others that support exercise; most important in the mid to latter stages of change

29
Q

what are the 5 experiential processes of change ?

A
  1. conscious raising
  2. environmental re-evaluation
  3. self re-evaluation
  4. social liberation
  5. dramatic relief

A

making a commitment (public) to change

40
Q

state what it is meant by the key term - stimulus control

A

managing cues for healthy and unhealthy behaviours

41
Q

do TTM interventions work ? explain using the study done by Spencer et al. 2006 (3 points)

A
  • 25/31 stage-matched exercise interventions motivated participants to higher stages and further exercise
42
Q

do TTM interventions work ? explain using the study done by Hutchinson et al. 2009

A

6/7 TTM physical activity interventions has short term success; only 1 demonstrated long term success

43
Q

do TTM interventions work ? explain using the study done by Romain. 2018 (2 points)

A
  • no difference between interventions targeting the actual SOC vs the interventions that did not across the 33 RCT’s selected for the study
  • the mediators of TTM efficiency was the number of theoretical constructs used to tailor the intervention
44
Q

who came up with project active ?

A

Dunn et al. 1999

45
Q

what is project active ?

A

a trans-theoretical model based on active lifestyle intervention

46
Q

how was project active carried out ? (4 points)

A
  1. 6 month intervention vs exercise control group
  2. aim to adopt 30 mins MVPA/day (moderate or vigorous activity)
  3. weekly group meetings with instructor; staged matched strategies and homework assignments
  4. monthly assessments and feedback
47
Q

what 3 findings were encountered by Dunn et al 1999 from project active ?

A
  1. both groups saw an increase in PA and CV fitness
  2. both improved their B.P., lipid profiles, cholesterol and body fat
  3. activity in both groups declined from 6 to 24 months - fitness was maintained in the lifestyle group
48
Q

state 2 limitations to the TTM study by (Spencer et al., 2006)

A
  • However, most studies limited to white, middle-classed, female populations which limits the generalisability of the findings
  • evidence for construct validity is mixed - intervention designees must define key concepts and employ ALL TTM tools, not just stage-matched
49
Q

state 2 considerations made by (Hutchinson et al., 2009) about TTM interventions

A
  • many TTM interventions fail to accurately represent all aspects of the model
  • results show inconsistencies in the development of TTM interventions
50
Q

state 2 limitations of the TTM model

A

1) the theory ignores the social context in which behaviour change occurs (Bandura’s social learning theory)
2) arbitrary changes between the stages, with no set criteria to determine whether a person is ready to change or not
