S2 L4 -Extending the Theory of Planned Behaviour

Question 1

What is the sufficiency assumption?

Answer 1

made by theory of planned behaviour

the constructs included in theory of planned behaviour are sufficient for explaining peoples intentions and behaviour

Individual differences in conscientiousness > attitude , + subjecitvie norm, + perceived behavioural control > intentions to study > hours spent studying

eg correlated w number of hours people spend studying (individual differences in conscientiousness)+

Question 2

What is anticipated regret?

Answer 2

worry that beset a decision marker before any losses materialise

eg using a condom bc youll anticipate feeling worried if not

richard said anticipated regret is another variable like attitude, subjective norms. perceived control

Question 3

what do we do if we are interested in the relationship between the two variables?

Answer 3

compute the (bivariate) correlation between them

this is the relationship between the two variables

.1 small
.3 medium
.5 large

TOP has 3 variables - if we are interested in the relationship between several variables and an outcome variable, then we use multiple linear regression

Question 4

When do we use hierarchical multiple regression?

Answer 4

when we are interested in whether variables predict an outcome variable over and above other variables
if sufficiency assumption is correct then descriptive norms and anticipated regret will not be associated with intentions, once attitudes, norms, and perceived control are in the analysis
perhaps bc descriptitve norms and anticipated regret influence the variables specificed by the TPB(TOPB)

Question 5

What are moral norms?

Answer 5

feelings of responsibility to perform or refuse to perform a certain behaviour

beliefs about the moral correctness or incorrectness of performing a behaviour

Question 6

what is self identity?

Answer 6

salient and enduring aspects of ones self perception

Question 7

what are the 3 variables to seeking professional help for psychological problems?

Answer 7

Psychological openness (attitude)

Indifference to stigma (subjective norms)
help-seeking propensity (perceived behavioural control)

Question 8

What social cognition model developed interventions to promote help seeking

Answer 8

1. identify and categorise salient beliefs
2. develop messages to change relevant beliefs(e.g make an appointment to see a doctor about these symptoms would be pointless / harmful / bad (attitude)
3. (perceived behavioural control) perceptions of control are challenged e.g some people may believe it is hard to get help

Question 9

What is the factorial design?

Answer 9

studies being a two by two by two
so they got the message or variables or didnt

eg norms or didnt, attitudes or didnt

in the feasibility study ps were randomised to 1/4 groups

1 tailoring + tpbb messages - tailored information and messages targeting beliefs specified by the tpb

2.no tailoring + tpb messages - untailored information with messages targeting beliefs specified by the tpb

3. tailoring only- tailored information but without messages targeting beliefs specified by the tpb

4.usual care group - paraphrased information from the roy castle lung cancer foundation webpage

intentino do u intend to make an appointment w your doctor to have ur symptoms checked? (yes/no)
