midterm 2 Flashcards
(85 cards)
differentiate between a theory and a model
theories provide insight & give a direction. models give steps to initiate change
what school of psychological thought did pavlov’s work start?
behaviourist
what did pavlov contribute?
classical conditioning
describe classical conditioning
a neutral stimulus which produces no reaction is paired with an unconditioned stimulus. soon the neutral stimulus is turned into a conditioned stimulus and produces the conditioned response
is operant conditioning a type of associative learning? why or why not?
operant conditioning IS a type of associative learning. we associate consequences with our behaviour
what did skinner contribute?
operant conditioning
what is a “shaper” in operant conditioning?
used to guide current behaviour towards the desired behaviour thru successive approximations
what are the key constructs of the health belief model?
perceived: susceptibility, benefits, severity, and barriers
what is a perceived threat in the health belief model?
when there is perceived severity and susceptibility
according to the health belief model, what affects one’s response?
perceived benefits and barriers
what is self efficacy?
when one can develop and persist with a behaviour
what are the stages of the trans theoretical model?
precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance which could lead to termination or relapse
describe the precede proceed model
start with the desired end and work back to original causes
name the phases of the precede-proceed model
phase 1 social assessment/situational analysis, phase 2 epidemiological assessment, phase 3 educational and ecological assessment, phase 4 admin and policy assessment/intervention alignment, phase 5-8 implementation and evaluation
when can the matrix be used to determine prioritization in the precede proceed model?
phase 2 epidemiological assessment
describe phase 1 of the precede proceed model
social assessment & situational analysis: involve people who will be targeted and get their thoughts on problems and priorities. the social problems may help measure quality of life
describe phase 2 of the precede proceed model
epidemiological assessment: match information to contributing factors to main problems. consider vital indicators (morbidity, fertility, mortality) and their dimensions (needs, strength of the problem, etc). identify specific health related behaviours, environmental, and genetic factors that could be linked to the health problem
describe phase 3 of the precede proceed model
educational and ecological assessment: done on the basis of research on health/social behaviours and ecological relationships between environmental behaviours
what are the 3 precede groups (constructs) of the precede proceed model
predisposing factors, enabling factors (makes change possible), reinforcing factors (encourages/discourages behaviour)
describe phase 4 of the precede proceed model
admin and policy assessment and intervention alignment: assessment of organizational and administrative capabilities and resources for program interventions (assesses limitations)
describe phases 5-8 in the precede proceed model
implementation and evaluation: NOTE THAT EVALUATION IS INTEGRAL AND CONTINOUS THROUGHOUT ALL PHASES OF IMPLEMENTATION – NOT JUST THE END!
describe the stimulus response theory
believes learning results from events and reinforcements which reduce physiological drives that activate behaviour
describe social cognitive theory
believes that behaviour is caused by reinforcement and expectations. built on understanding of interaction between people and environment
what is behavioural capacity?
knowing what a behaviour is and how to perform it
