58
Q

What is the most influential factor to resisting behaviour change in the health belief model?

A

PERCEIVED barriers and threat; powerful effect on behaviour change

Cycle of positive self-feedback fueling desire to continue

62

2: vicarious experience
3. verbal persuasion
4. emotional arousal

63
Q

Protection Motivation Theory

A

If there is something I need to protect myself from, I will be motivated to do it

A
  1. the perceived severity of a threatening event
  2. the perceived probability of the occurrence, or vulnerability,
  3. the efficacy of the recommended preventive behavior, and the
  4. perceived self efficacy
65

Theory of Reasoned Action believes behaviour is determined by:

A
  1. Beliefs & attitude towards behavior & Intention
