Document Summary
Dual processing model- when faced with a threat, a cognitive and emotional representation of the threat is created: end up coping the way they have it represented. Self regulation model- thoughts on illneesss could be organized along four dimensions. Common sense model (csm)- lau and hartman added a fifth dimension for those resistant to treatment: cure/control- extent to which the illness is responsive to treatment. Illness perception questionnaire (ipq)- measured the orginal five dimensions: originally used to investigate relationship of illness representations and work behavioour after a heart attack. Illnss beliefs are formed by information before becoming ill. Revised illness perception questionnaire- created a measure of illness coherence and emotional representations of illness: look at how illness makes sense as a whole, divided the cure/control dimension into personal control" and. Allowed a distinguishment of perceived control of the illness and of the treatment. Illness representations are not just the patients perspective but also interpersonal and cultural experiences.
