Homework assignments that focus on taking an integral concept from a textbook chapter/lecture, and then have you demonstrate its’ application. Undoubtedly, some of you taking this course either do, or have in the past, tried/used drugs (recreational and/or illicit), tobacco products, and/or alcohol (either responsibly or not so much). While this is very common experience for many individuals, some people manage to avoid these types of behaviors altogether. Several of the behavior change theories we have covered earlier in this course can be utilized to explain (and sometimes predict) each of these potential possibilities. Some theories can also be utilized to promote change from negative health behaviors (and possibly addictions) towards positive healthier choices. Your assignment this week is to compare and contrast each of the following four behavior change theories:
Health Belief Model
Social Cognitive Theory
Transtheoretical Model of Change
Theory of Planned Behavior
Read about the theory from the textbook, use the lecture recording as a reference, and do some additional research. How do the identified behavioral theories illustrate how health and well-being are factors of social conditions?
Section 1: Summarize each behavioral theory in less than five sentences (each), to illustrate how health and wellness are factors of social conditions. (5 sentences * 4 theories = 20 total sentences).
Section 2: Note key similarities between the theories in general, and more importantly, the main constructs. FYI- they all focus on behavior change, so do not mention this as a similarity, the number of constructs in each model is also not worthy of mention.
Section 3: Note key differences (i.e., distinctive features) between the theories in general, and more importantly, their main constructs.
