Core Concepts
Behavior, personal factors, and environmental factors interact with each other, and changing one changes them all.
Self-efficacy: one’s own estimation of one’s personal ability to do something; meaning, people will only do what they believe they can do.
Observational learning: learning by watching others; meaning, the strength of observational learning depends on how much attention is given to the person who is modeling the behavior.
Expectations: the likely outcome of a behavior; meaning, the people behave in certain ways because of the results they expect as well as avoiding the behavior due to the expectations.
Expectancies: the value placed on the outcome of the behavior; meaning, the certain behavior is more likely to occur when the expectancy, or value placed on its outcome, maximizes a positive result and minimizes a negative one.
Emotional arousal: the emotional reaction to a situation and its resulting behavior; meaning, that in certain situations people become fearful and, when this happens, their behavior becomes defensive in an effort to reduce the fear.
Behavioral capability: the knowledge and skills needed to engage in a particular behavior; meaning, before doing something, you have to know what it is you’re going to do and how to do it.
Reinforcement: the rewards or punishments for doing something; meaning, the behavior occurs because people either want the reward or want to avoid the punishment.
Focus of control: one’s belief regarding one’s personal power over life events; meaning, that this belief in the extent of personal control (internal to external) has an impact on health decisions, and thus on health behaviors.
