    • Health Belief Model
      A decision to change (or not) health-related behaviours depends on your beliefs about health and ill-health
    • Health Belief Model
      • Perceived Seriousness: I may change my behaviour in a healthy direction if I believe the consequences of not changing are serious
      • Perceived Susceptibility: I may change my behaviour in a healthy direction if I believe I am vulnerable to becoming ill if I don't change
      • Cost-Benefit Analysis: I may change my behaviour in a healthy direction if I perceive the benefits of doing so outweighs the costs
      • Modifying Factors: Demographic factors, Cues to action, Self-efficacy
    • Locus of Control
      • Internal locus of control: People believe the things that happen to them are under their own control
      • External locus of control: People believe the things that happen to them are out of their control
    • Measuring Locus of Control
      Rotter's questionnaire, Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale
    • Theory of Planned Behaviour
      Intention is the central concept. A specific health behaviour can be predicted from our intention to behave in that way. Intentions are formed from three key sources: Personal Attitudes, Subjective Norms, Perceived Behavioural Control
    • Self-Efficacy Theory

      Self-efficacy is the belief we have in our ability to successfully perform an action or task. Awareness of our self-efficacy comes from four sources: Mastery Experiences, Vicarious Reinforcement, Social Persuasion, Emotional States
    • Transtheoretical Model

      Key Assumptions: People change their behaviour through five stages - Precontemplation, Contemplation, Preparation, Action, Maintenance. Change is not a single event but a cyclical process. People differ in their readiness to change. Choice of intervention depends on the stage they are in.
