Answers.
Course purpose correct answers provide a basic overview of the prominent models and theories
that are used in public health to predict and to understand human behavior
Process of changing behavior correct answers 1. Develop a problem statement
2. Identify target behavior
3. Conduct a functional assessment
4. Select a theory or model
5. Develop a theory-based intervention
Pros of interpersonal level theories correct answers -Address psychological constructs
-Influence immediate social environment
-Changes attitudes, beliefs, or perceptions
Cons of interpersonal level theories correct answers may result in high cost and too little
attention to both areas (addressing constructs and influences)
pros of ecological or community level correct answers effects are very long lasting (like
investing in adequate public transportation, improved housing, mixed utility environments)
cons of ecological or community level correct answers requires a lot of money
requires multiple changes to change behavior
major social determinants of health correct answers social gradient
stress
early life
social exclusion
work
unemployment
social support
addiction
food
transportation
what is the matching law correct answers 2 things required: the amount of effort required to
perform the behavior, and the size of the reinforcer or consequence. Easy behaviors require small
reinforcers, hard behaviors require bigger ones
methodology about how to properly select a thoery correct answers 1. develop a problem
statement
2. identify target behavior
3. conduct a functional assessment
4. select a theory or model
, 5. develop a theory-based intervention
what is develop a problem statement correct answers identify the problem that needs to be
changed
what is identify target behavior correct answers help you focus your efforts
identify the direction in which the behavior needs to change
be specific with respect to the target population
conduct a functional assessment correct answers refers to the reasons or causes for behavior
refers also to a process where we collect information about the behavior
what is select a theory or model correct answers with an understanding of the functions of the
target behavior, we can select the model or theory that includes constructs that align most closely
with the functions of the behavior
what is develop a theory-based intervention correct answers balance our efforts in such a way
that we develop an intervention that is both feasible and adheres to the underlying theory or
model
what is vicarious learning and where did it originate correct answers vicarious learning is
learning that occurs from observing other people's behavior
Albert Bandura was one of the first to notice we learn by watching others
what did basic research of children and BOBO dolls teach Albert Bandura? correct answers He
concluded that kids were more aggressive after observing a model that reinforced aggressive
behavior (vicarious learning)
We learn quicker and adopt the behaviors more readily if we observe that the model is reinforced
for engaging in that behavior. (SCT)
what are the major constructs in TRA/TPB? correct answers behavior
behavioral intention
attitude toward the behavior
behavioral beliefs
outcome evaluations
subjective norm
normative beliefs
motivation to comply
perceived behavioral control
control beliefs
perceived power
what are the major constructs in HBM? correct answers perceived susceptibility
perceived severity
perceived benefits
