History
These types of short-term illnesses often have a treatment option.
Acute
This type of design measures two variables and assesses their relationship.
Correlational
_______, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control are key components of the Theory of Planned Behavior.
Attitudes
HBM: Belief that a behavior will be effective.
Response efficacy
Implementation intentions
These types of long-term illnesses have been on the rise in the past few decades.
Chronic
I want to know whether the results of my study extend to other people, not just my participants. I'm interested in this term.
Generalizability
The earliest theory in health psychology, this theory considers ones personal threat and whether they can do something to reduce the threat. Led to the EPPM.
Health Belief Model
TPB: Social pressure to perform a health behavior.
Subjective norm
This behavior change technique includes selecting a default option that people must opt out of.
Social engineering
Social support, depression, and chemical imbalances can all contribute to disease according to this type of model.
Biopsychosocial Model
128,663 people in the United States died from lung cancer in 2024, a measure of this epidemiological term.
Mortality
This theory is the only theory we discussed that considers the different stages of health behavior change.
Transtheoretical Model
(I'll also accept Stages of Change Model)
HBM: How likely a person thinks they are to get a disease.
Perceived risk
(I'll also accept susceptibility)
Over 2/3 of American adults do not meet the recommended guidelines for this health behavior.
Exercise
At the start of the 1600s, researchers believed that the mind and the body were separate, a.k.a. this term.
Dualism
These two features are essential for experimental designs.
Random assignment and control
In the EPPM, when a person's fear outweighs their efficacy, they engage in this type of response.
Fear control
TPB: A plan to start a health behavior.
Behavior intention
The first step of self-modification, where a person tracks their behavior.
Self-Monitoring
This model tends to ignore input from the patient; who needs patient input when you can just look at their cells?
Biomedical model
I wanted to know what led to the increase in skin cancer this year, so I looked at common health behaviors over the past 30 years. I designed this type of study.
Retrospective design
(I'll also accept epidemiology)
A key criticism of this theory is that intentions do not always predict behavior.
Theory of Planned Behavior
Transtheoretical Model: Thinking about changing a behavior.
Contemplation
I got my friend to cut back on her alcohol consumption by telling her that drinking leads to liver failure. I used this type of communication.
Fear appeal
