Study Notes
Living Conditions and Individual Behavior
- Individual actions, such as delaying medical screenings, reflect personal fears and beliefs about health risks.
- Environmental factors, like the availability of healthy food options, significantly influence dietary adherence.
- Engaging with local organizations, like a company cafeteria, can lead to healthier menu choices if employees advocate for change.
Social Relationships and Health Behavior
- Interpersonal influences, such as peer beliefs and relationships, can impact an individual's health decisions, like seeking medical screenings.
- Organizational barriers, like scheduling challenges, can further hinder access to necessary health services.
Individual and Population Health Perception
- Perceptions of personal risk and the severity of health conditions affect willingness to engage in preventive health behaviors.
- The Stages of Change Model outlines five key phases individuals experience when attempting to change behavior: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance.
Stages of Change Model
- Precontemplation: Individual is not considering quitting smoking.
- Contemplation: Individual is thinking about quitting soon.
- Preparation: Individual is ready to plan cessation strategies.
- Action: Individual actively tries to quit smoking.
- Maintenance: Individual is working to remain smoke-free.
Behavioral Intention Influences
- Behavioral intention is shaped by personal attitudes towards an action and perceptions of social influence (subjective norms).
- The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) adds a layer by incorporating perceived behavioral control, assessing beliefs about the ability to quit.
Research Application
- Surveys comparing beliefs, attitudes, and intention can help identify factors influencing behaviors like receiving preventative screenings, such as Pap tests.
- Both the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) and TPB offer frameworks for understanding and predicting health-related behaviors.
