lecture 2: socio-cognitive models Flashcards
theory of planned behavior
- behavioral beliefs x evaluation —> attitude
- normative beliefs x motivation to comply –> subjective norm
- control beliefs x power –> perceived behavioral control
- -> behavioral intention –> behavior - = beliefs about the consequences of the behavior & evaluation of these beliefs (outcome expectancies and outcome evaluation)
- = what you think other persons thinks that are important to you
- = reflecting upon your experience with the behavior and facilitators of behavior
“i think i will be strong enough to resist unhealthy food the coming month”
TPB principle of aggregation & principle of compatibility
Principle of aggregation:
- use multiple items to measure a construct
- advantage: more valid and reliable, check consistency and variation
Principle of compatibility:
- be as specific as possible and make all items compatible
- TPB variables correlate stronger with behavior when they are more compatible
protection motivation theory variables
- threat appraisal
- severity: how severe are the consequences of this health risk?
- vulnerability: do I feel personally vulnerable to this health risk? - coping appraisal
- response efficacy: is the recommended behavior effective in reducing the health risk?
- self efficacy: can I perform the recommended behavior? - response costs: disadvantages of the health behavior
- “if i drink alcohol i’m less social”
health belief model (HBM)
Based on two beliefs:
- perceived susceptibility (how likely am I to get ill?)
- perceived severity (How serious would the illness be?)
costs
benefits —> behavior
health motivation
cues to action
social cognitive theory
Determined by three factors:
1. Goals = Are plans to act and can be conceived of as intentions to perform the behavior
2. Outcome expectancies = similar to behavioral beliefs in the TPB but here are split
into physical, social, and self-evaluative depending on the nature of the outcomes
considered
3. self efficacy = the belief that a behavior is or is not within an individual’s control and is usually assessed as the degree of confidence the indiviual has that he/she could still perform the behavior in the face of various obstacles (and is similar to PBC in the TPB)
——> goals —-> behavior
transtheoretical model of change
= different stages, different cognitions are important
- pre-contemplation
- smoker unaware of the problem - contemplation
- smoker starts to think about behavior change - preparation
- quit intention, planning to stop smoking - action
- quitting smoking - maintenance
- prevent relapse
integrative model of behavioral prediction
- erg groot model, zie slide 27!!
- o.a. attitude, perceived norm, self efficacy, skills, intention, environmental constraint & behavior
! alle flashcards met modellen zijn niet echt goed uitgetypt dus bekijk maar gwn de slides haha
Social cognition models (SCMs)
- Detail the important cognitions that distuingish between those performing and not performing behaviors.
- The focus is on the cognitions or thought processes that intervene between observable stimuli and behavior in real-world situations
NL: Beschrijven de belangrijke cognities die onderscheid maken tussen degenen die wel en degenen die geen gedrag vertonen.
- De nadruk ligt op de cognities of denkprocessen die tussenbeide komen tussen waarneembare stimuli en gedrag in reële situaties
Self-regulation processes
Mental and behavioral processes by which people enact their self-conceptions, revise their behavior, or alter the environment so as to bring about outcomes in it in line with their self-perceptions and personal goals
NL: Mentale en gedragsprocessen waardoor mensen hun zelfbeeld bepalen, hun gedrag herzien, of de omgeving veranderen om daarin uitkomsten te bereiken die in overeenstemming zijn met hun zelfbeeld en persoonlijke doelen
What are the shortcomings of social cognition models (SCM)
- Cognitions can change after you measured them
- Too little attention for emotions
- It fails to explicitly consider affective influences on behavior
