Collective Belief in the ability of a group of individuals efficacy to perform concerted actions to achieve an outcome. Outcome Outcomes arise from actions. Outcome expectations expectations are judgments about the likely consequences of actions. Knowledge Knowledge is an understanding of the health risks and benefits of different health practices and the information necessary to perform a behavior. Reciprocal Determinism Behavior al Factors Physical and Personal Social Cognitive Environment Factors  Environmental Influences on Behavior  Physical and social factors in an individual’s environment that affect a person’s behavior Observational A type of learning in which a person learns learning new information and behaviors by observing the behaviors of others and the consequences of other’s behaviors. Normative Cultural norms and beliefs about the social beliefs acceptability and perceived prevalence of a behavior. Social support The perception of encouragement and support a person receives from his/her social network. Barriers/ Attributes of the social or physical Opportunities environment that make behaviors harder or easier to perform. Reciprocal Determinism Behavior al Factors Physical and Personal Social Cognitive Environment Factors  Supporting Behavioral Factors  Actions taken by individuals that can be classified as either health-enhancing or health-compromising Behavioral The abilities needed to successfully skills perform a behavior. Intentions The goals of adding new behaviors or modifying existing behaviors. Reinforceme Behavior can be increased or nt and attenuated through provision or punishment removal of rewards or punishments. Reciprocal Determinism Behavior al Factors Physical and Personal Social Cognitive Environment Factors   SCT is very complex; it can be viewed as less of a theory than a related “grab-bag” of constructs. CRITIQ UES OF  SCT has gone through a number of SCT evolutions; as it evolved, it retained earlier constructs, increasing the general complexity of SCT and reducing its clarity as a theory.
