Exw Midterm 2 (new Set)

-possess minimal levels of relevant health motivation/knowledge -perceive themselves as potentially vulnerable (susceptible) -view disease a severe -are convinced that the preventive regimen is effective (benefits) -see few difficulties/barriers in regimen (costs) -internal/external cues that associate with health-related action are considered necessary

-studies shown capacity of this instrument to predict acceptance/rejection of preventative health recommendations -tendency to comply with period of acute illness -very few studies linked to adherence with chronic sufferer -Bond et al. (1992)

-person’s perceived risk to function -not associated with good compliance but interacted with benefits-costs -high threat: benefits: cost have little impact upon compliance; may reduce benefits of a recommended medical regimen, conversely. -low threat: strong positive effect of benefits-cost; model needs modification if to be used with chronic ill clients

-willingness to seek help or medical treatment when four symptoms (cold sweats, vomiting, sob, and inability to concentrate) experienced -closely related to adherence -may be more inclined to reflect self-efficacy

-perceived effectiveness & few difficulties in understanding program à positively related with both questionnaires and measurement of compliance

minimal perception of effectiveness and there are difficulties; threat/risk to survival is related positively to compliance

regimen has been accepted but there are major hurdles for client; threat had a negative relationship with compliance; fear that they are highly vulnerable to disease…must use fear control to reduce emotional reactions to the threat then danger control to reduce threat. FC and DC compete, lowering compliance

-negative relationship to compliance with demanding regimens; chronic illnesses: threat can’t be removed

-blood glucose levels, high threat and high cues (overt symptoms) (poorest relationship); lack of metabolic control may cause clients to perceive threat and cues; increased risk for psychosomatic symptoms

-diabetes: adherence decreases with age; positively associated with two variables; cues to action and perceived benefits-cost of the diabetic regimen

-both focus of theoretical constructs that are concerned with individual motivational factors and determinants of the likelihood of performing specific behaviors

-measures attitude and social normative perceptions that determine behavioral intention. BI in turn affects behavior. Concerned with relationship between beliefs, attitudes, intentions, and behavior -provides excellent account of volitional behaviors in an effort to predict intentions that are not completely under volitional control -Intention=Behavior -intent is equivalent to the willingness to perform the behavior

-extension of the TRA, but includes additional construct concerned with perceived control over performance of the behavior -refers to one’s perception of control over behavior; assumed to reflect the obstacles that one encountered in past behavioral performances. Proposes that perceived behavioral control can influence behavior directly -Albarracin et al. 2001

-intention, attitude toward behavior, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, behavior normative & control beliefs.

-normative belief that referent should or should not perform the behavior -motivation to comply with the referent and number of referents -normative beliefs are bipolar in nature and motivations are unipolar
