Who constructed TRA

Fishbein

Who constructed TPB

Ajzen

TRA was constructed for what reason

Wanted to figure out the most proximal attitude to the behavior, they concluded that intention to perform the behavior is what drives the behavior

TRA primary constructs (behavior)

actions that you can see, defined by action, target, time, and context

TRA primary constructs (intention)

Likelihood or belief that I will perform the behavior

TRA primary constructs (attitude to act)

Evaluation of the action, not the object. General view of the action, conditioned predisposition

TRA primary constructs (subjective norm)

belief that others think I should take action (what do they think about it) perceieced social pressure to engage or not engage in a certain behavior

TRA distal constructs for attitude (behavioral beliefs)

an expected outcome or consequence to behavior

TRA distal constructs for attitude (outcome evaluations)

The subjective evaluation of an outcome

TRA distal constructs for subjective norms (normative beliefs)

a specific referent individual considered when contemplating behavior

TRA distal constructs for subjective norms (motivation to comply)

motivation to comply with the will of a specific referent

according to TRA what is the most proximal construct to the behavior

intention

Perceived behavioral control

aka self efficacy, general perception of control you possess over the performance of a behavior. a series of beliefs that contribute to influence the control you have over the behavior

TPB distal constructs for perceived behavioral control norms (control beliefs)

perceived likelihood of occurrence of each facilitating or constraint condition. There is less availability of water fountains in the building, I have less chance to drink more water a day.

TPB distal constructs for perceived behavioral control norms (perceived power)

The perceived effect of each condition in making behavioral performance difficult or easy. I will carry a large water bottle to hydrate all day.

Principles of prediction 1

intention is the immediate determinant of behavior. If I intend to do the behavior, I will do it longer than if I don’t intend on doing it.

Principles of change

intention is the main concept that can be changed. by changing the belief system, you can increase the perceptions of control.

Who created the trans theoretical model

james prochaska and carlo diclemente

why was the trans theoretical model created

they were more focused on how and when

What is TTM based on

Behavior change occurs through a series of stages, predictable pattern- this doesn’t happen quickly it is a process. When they WANT to change they will

Is the trans theoretical model of change interpersonal or intrapersonal

intrapersonal (individual thoughts)

cognitive processes

best for someone in the pre contemplation, contemplation, and preparation stages

behavioral processes

are best for someone in the preparation, action, and maintenance stages
