| Question | Answer |
| What is the purpose of the Health Belief model? | A theory to explore the reasons people may not practice health behaviours. |
| What 7 influences can impact a person into changing their health behaviours? | Susceptibility Severity Cues to action (prompts to start change) Costs Benefits Health motivation Perceived Control |
| What study relates to the Health Belief Model? | Abraham |
| What is the aim of Abraham's study? | intentions of carrying out HIV preventative behaviour |
| What is the sample of Abraham's study? | 351 scottish teens |
| What is the method of Abraham's study? | Self Report/Postal Questionnaire |
| What did Abraham find? | Most intended to use preventative behaviour. Costs outweighed pros =Awkward =Pleasure reduction Didn't perceive high susceptibility |
| What is the Locus of Control? | Our beliefs of what control events in our lives. |
| What are the two types of Locus of Control? | Internal - Think rationally and understand your actions have consequences External - Irrational belief that all events stem from an external source and you have no control |
| Where does our LoC come from? | It all stems from past experiences. Internal coming from consistent rewards and punishment External coming from inconsistent rewards and punishment |
| Which study is relevant to the LoC? | Steptoe and Wardle |
| What is the aim of Steptoe and Wardle's research? | investigate the relationship between health LoC, health values and 10 health related behaviours (e.g. not smoking, seatbelt use, daily toothbrushing) |
| What is the sample of Steptoe and Wardle's research? | Over 7000 students |
| What did Steptoe and Wardle find? | P's with the highest INTERNAL scores were more likely to perform 5 or more health behaviours. Low INTERNAL and High EXTERNAL scores = poor health choices |
| How is LoC measured? | Self Report Use a likert scale (degree to agree) on statements about attitude to health behaviours. |
| What is Self Efficacy? | The inner belief that you can successfully carry out a change in your health behaviour |
| What 2 aspects make up your Self Efficacy? | Outcome Expectations - general belief about outcome of the behaviour. Efficacy Expectations - Past experiences, Vicarious (Other's) experiences, verbal persuasion, emotional arousal. |
| How does emotional arousal effect your self efficacy? | If there is high emotional arousal, generally S.E is low. Low emotional arousal = High S.E |
| How does cognitive appraisal effect our Self Efficacy? | Cognitive Appraisal is the assessment of a situation so our belief about the situation may influence our S.E |
| What study relates to Self Efficacy? | Bandura & Adams |
| What is the aim of Bandura & Adams' study? | assess the S.E of patients undergoing Systematic desensitisation |
| What was the sample of Bandura and Adams' study? | 10 Snake phobic patients (via self selected-newspaper ad) |

| What were the 3 stages on Bandura and Adams' procedure? | 1. P's completed 29 tasks (increased exposure to snake) + S.E measured before each task. 2. Systematic Desensitisation 3. Tasks re-administered (1 week after 2. max.) |
| What were the results of Bandura and Adams' study? | Efficacy expectations increased- pre 15% post 50% Ability to interact with snake pre 11% post 54% |
| What are the 3 methods of health promotion? | Media Campaigns Legislation Fear Arousal |
| How does the World Health Organisation (WHO) define health promo? | "the process of enabling people to increase control and improve their health" |
| How do media campaigns work? | Seek to change behaviour by first changing attitudes |
| What study uses media campaigns? | Cowpe |
| What does Cowpe seek to change? (Aim) | Investigate if ads could reduce chip-pan fires |
| What method did Cowpe use? | Quasi-experiment Questionnaires and analysis of fire brigade records/stats |
| What was the sample? | 10 regions between 1976 - 1984 |
| What did Cowpe use as the procedure? | 2 ads showing cause and actions to put fire out. |
| What were the results of Cowpe's study? | STATS - The largest reduction of chip pan fires was during the campaign. If the regions were exposed on more than one channel it showed less impact. Q - increased awareness & chip pans mentioned more as dangerous (Y'Shire pre - 12% post - 28% ) |
| How does legislation work? | Legislation is an authoritarian approach to prevent unsafe and unhealthy behaviours. |
| Example of legislation to prevent unsafe/unhealthy behaviours | 1930-1962 Road Traffic Act ammended 3 times - recognised driving under influence unsafe = illegal. 1964 = Accident, Alcohol and Risk Study discovered 80mg Alc per 100ml blood high risk. 1967 Road Safety Act = set of legal drink driving limit |

| Method used by McGrath? | Case Study 4 weeks |
| What was the sample in McGrath's study? | 1 - Little girl called Lucy, afraid of noise/balloons |
| What was the procedure used in McGrath's study? | - Taught relaxation + coping techniques - Used a fear scale, 1-10 -Exposure was increased as Lucy grew used to the coping mechanisms and to control her fear |
| What findings did McGrath make? | Throughout the desensitisation, as the exposure grew, Lucy learnt to cope with it, and so her rating on fear scale dropped. |
