Document Summary

Lecture 5: theories and models of behaviour change chapter 6. Emphasizes that health promotion should focus on both intrapersonal behavioural factors and multiple-level factors that influence the specific behaviour in question. Focuses on interrelationships between individuals and the social, physical and policy environment. Includes personal factors that increase/decrease the likelihood that people will be active or engage in sports. Social environment: 2nd in the model: comprises the relationships, the culture and the society with whom the person interacts. Policy: very top of model: refers to legislations, regulator or policy making actions that have the potential to affect physical activity and sport behaviour. Proposes that a perso(cid:374)"s health-related behaviour depends on their perception: perceived severity of an illness. Refers to a perso(cid:374)"s per(cid:272)eptio(cid:374) that a health pro(cid:271)le(cid:373) is perso(cid:374)ally relevant: perceived susceptibility to that illness. Action will not occur if the person perceives the severity to be high enough to have serious complications: benefits of taking a preventive action.
