Self-efficacy, goals, and outcome expectancies.
27

28
How does the social action model differ from other forms of community intervention?

Knowledge and skills to perform a given behaviour.
31
Social planning
Task oriented. Stresses problem-solving and usually relies heavily on expert practitioners.
32
Which theories and perspectives work well with community organization?
And ecological perspective, social cognitive theory based strategies, social networks and social support theories, and social systems theory.
33
Subjective Norm (Theory of Planned Behaviour)
Beliefs about whether key people approve or disapprove of the behaviour motivation to behave in a way that gains their approval.
34
Relative advantage (Key attributes affecting the speed and extent of an innovation’s diffusion)
Shows it’s superiority over whatever it replaces
35
What influences a person's attitude toward performing a behaviour in the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) and the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA)?
A person's attitude toward performing a behaviour and subjective norms
36
What does Social Learning Theory assert?
People learn not only from their own experiences, but by observing the actions of others and the benefits of those actions.
37
What is a potential change strategy during the Action stage? (Stages of Change Model)
Feedback, problem solving, social support, and reinforcements.
38
What is a potential change strategy during the Preparation stage? (Stages of Change Model)
Assist with developing and implementing concrete action plans; help set gradual goals.
39
At the interpersonal level, what do theories of health behaviour assume?
That individuals exist within, and are influenced by, a social environment.
40
What is a potential change strategy during the Maintenance stage? (Stages of Change Model)
Assist with coping, reminders, finding alternatives, avoiding slips/relapses.
41
Innovation (Diffusion of Innovations Theory)
An idea, object, or practice that is thought to be new by an individual, organization, or community.
42
The Precaution Adoption Model prompts practitioners to develop intervention strategies that take into account...
