Q

Assumptions of the Social Ecological model

A

Health behaviour is influenced by physical + social env. + personal attributes.

Env. are multidimensional (social or physical), actual or perceived, discrete attributes (spatial arrangements) or constructs (social climate)

Human env. Interactions occur at different levels of aggregation (ind, families, cultural groups…)

People influence their settings. Changed settings then influence health behaviours

Q

What 5 components is the need achievement theory made up of

A

Personality factors / motives

Situational factors

Resultant tendencies

Emotional reactions

Achievement-related behaviours

33
Q

NEED ACHIEVEMENT THEORY

Personality factors / motives

A

Each person has 2 underlying achievement motives – achieve success + to avoid failure.

Theory contends that behaviour is influenced by the balance of these motives.

34
Q

Motive to achieve success

A

Experience pride in accomplishments

35
Q

Motive to avoid failure

A

Experience shame in failure

36
Q

Whats a problem with the self determination theory in regards to personality factors/motives?

A

High Achievers = High levels of A + low B vs. Low Achievers = Low levels of A + high B.

— BUT, theory makes no clear predictions for those w/ moderate levels of each motive.

37
Q

NEED ACHIEVEMENT THEORY

What are the primary considerations in situational factors

A

Probability of success in situation

incentive value of success.

38
Q

Probability of success in situation

A

Depends on who you compete vs
+
Difficulty of task

39
Q

Incentive value of success

A

Value of success would be greater by winning vs a higher level athletes than a beginner as more satisfying to beat a skilled opponent

40
Q

NEED ACHIEVEMENT THEORY

Resultant tendencies

A

Derived by considering an ind. achievement motive levels in relation to situational factors (i.e probability of success or incentive value of success).

Theory is best in predicting the situations in which there’s a 50-50 chance of success.

High achievers - Seek challenges in 50-50 situations vs. Low achievers - Avoid such challenges.

If low achievers can’t avoid the situation, they become preoccupied + distraught due to their high need to avoid failure.

41
Q

NEED ACHIEVEMENT THEORY

Emotional reactions

A

Specifically how much pride + shame they experience.

High achievers focus more on pride whereas low achievers focus more on shame + worry.

42
Q

NEED ACHIEVEMENT THEORY

Achievement-related behaviours

A

Indicates how the 4 other components interact to influence behaviour.

High achievers select more challenging tasks, intermediate risks + perform better in evaluative situations.

Low achievers avoid immediate risk, perform poorly in evaluative situations + avoid challenging tasks by selecting tasks so difficult they are certain to fail or tasks so easy they are guaranteed success.

Rigid, based on principles of intensity, duration + freq – too challenging for some, esp. beginners
