Document Summary
Chapter 1: introduction to theory (introduction to health behavior theory) Theory helps us solve problems and formulate interventions: specifies relations among variables in order to explain and predict events, theories explain behavior and suggest ways to achieve behavior change. Model: mixture of ideas and concepts taken from theories used together: model helps us understand specific problem in setting. Determinants of health behavior= basis of interventions. Assume that other people influence our behavior. Where do theories come from: born from the need to solve a problem, uses inductive reasoning. Health belief model: observation, inductive reasoning, qualitative research methods. Theory of reasoned action theory of planned behavior: behavioral control added. Health behavior: all the things we do that influence our physical, mental, emotional. Higher education greater health: skills. There are norms in cultures that are foundations to behavior: beliefs. Ones own perception of what is true, although others may disagree. Self-efficacy theory and health belief model: beliefs hold the concept.
