Behavioral Theories
This theory includes 4 dimensions: Stages of Change, Processes of Change, Self-efficacy, and Decisional Balance
Transtheoretical Model (TTM)
Someone in this stage may say “Maybe I will walk outside if it’s nice out”
Contemplation
The first step in the Motivational Interviewing process
Engaging
The strongest predictor of behavior change
Self-efficacy
A three-pronged technique used in Motivational Interviewing when you would like to give “advice” or information to your client.
Elicit - Provide - Elicit (EPE)
This theory proposes that behavior change is affected by interactions between the environment, human behaviors, and personal factors (also known as Reciprocal Determinism)
Social Cognitive Theory
This process involves combing trust, caring, openness, social support, and social acceptance for the healthy behavior change
Helping relationships
Construct defined as being when a person feels that they have personal choice in a behavior and are not coerced or pressured by others
Autonomy
The perception that one possesses the resources and opportunity to execute a behavior
Perceived Behavioral Control
This tyoe of hunger builds gradually, strikes below the neck, and occurs several hours after a meal
Physical hunger
This theory focuses on attitudes and beliefs that explain why individuals may not partake in health behaviors that would benefit them
Health Belief Model
Education is the best strategy for individuals in this stage
Pre-contemplation
Characterized by a person doing a behavior because it is part of his/her identity and congruent with life goals and values
Integrated Regulation
The mutually influencing effects of personal, environmental, and behavioral factors
Reciprocal Determinism
A characteristic of successful physical activity interventions that appears to be superior to telephone or media approaches
Face-to-face programs
This theory considers cognition or thoughts to be the primary mediating variable of behavior
Cognitive Behaviorism
This process is both the belief that one can change and the commitment and recommitment to act on that belief
Self-Liberation
This technique would primarily be used when an individual is in the contemplation stage of behavior change.
Motivational Interviewing
Refers to reproducible relationships that are potentially causal
Determinants (or correlates)
Cues toward healthier behavior that target habits and unconscious behavioral tendencies
Point of Decision Prompts
Attitude, subjective norms, and perceived control are all components of which behavioral theory?
Theory of Planned Behavior
This process combines both cognitive and affective assessments of one’s self-image with and without a particular unhealthy habit
Self Re-evaluation
Bringing attention to the difference between how an individual is currently behaving and their target behavioral goals
Developing discrepancy
Systematic efforts to direct thoughts, feelings, and actions, toward the attainment of one’s goals; involves sacrificing what one wants in order to achieve something greater
Self-Regulation
Providing an optimal challenge, positive feedback, and information rewards supports which psychological need of intrinsic motivation?
