3) Perceived benefits
4) Perceived barriers
5) Cues to action

3) Perceived behavioural control (self efficacy, control beliefs & power of control)
According to the self-determination theory from which three things is motivation coming?
Motivation comes from relatedness, competence and autonomy
Explain the COM-B model
Collecting all models and simplify/ combine them.
Behaviour is predicted by:
1) Capability (can you) > actual control, skills, knowledge
2) Motivation (do you want) > automatic/ reflected, self efficacy
3) Opportunity (does your environment allows you) > cues to action, perceived norms, actual control
