Planned Behavioral Theory

planned behavior, if we want to predict a behavior we need to know three things: (1) attitude

This article was a study of parenting styles that are found to be significantly effective in African American adolescence in impoverished neighborhoods. The focus was to determine if demographical circumstances influence parenting styles and adolescent academic success. The researchers want to determine if parenting styles that are common in European American families, yields the same outcome in adolescents in impoverished neighborhoods. The study was constructed to determine the correlation between adolescent outcomes and parenting in a sample of African American girls from high-poverty neighborhoods in the inner city.

This article discusses a common factor that is encountered when counseling single parent Black families. That is the topic of a mother’s unresolved issue with the absent father being projected on the eldest son. Lowe stated that in single Black families, mothers’ unresolved feelings about an absent father are usually placed on the eldest son who is expected to assume the role as a “parental child.”

In today’s society most “good fathers” are only considered a good father because they pay their Child support on time. This causes their children to not have an emotional connection with their father since he is never around because he was too busy or not in the picture. Bad interaction skills can come from this especially from a young black boy, it is imperative that a father teaches the boy certain things so he will be able to handle the oppression he will soon face from society. Black men have bad interaction skills with other individuals because they faced many people who were trying to oppress them in any form, the lack of interaction skills have made it hard for us to let our pride down and ask for assistance when necessary. Our masculinity and ego is too big to where we refuse to seek help and would rather struggle on our

Theory of Planned Behavior is influenced by an individual’s attitude towards a health behavior (Cameron, Ginsburg, Westhoff, Mendez, & Roque, 2012). The Theory of Planned Behavior according to Glanz, Rimer, & Viswanath, (2008), provides a systematic method that helps determine the issues that are most important to a person’s decisions after having performed a specific behavior. The constructs obtained in the Theory of Planned Behavior are: attitudes, behavioral intentions, subjective norms, social norms, perceived power, and perceived behavioral control (Boston University School of Public Health,

It was very difficult to find a theory that directly relates to the concept of adherence. While researching, many articles on adherence showed a direct relation between the Theory of Planned Behavior and adherence. For this reason, the Theory of Planned Behavior will be used as the theory that most directly relates to the concept of adherence. “The theory of planned behavior has been successfully applied to predict adherence behaviors in a variety of health contexts such as sustained efforts to maintain or reduce blood pressure, engaging in exercise based rehab for dizziness, adherence to malaria prophylactics, and adherence to asthma treatments.” (Manning & Bettencourt, 2011, p. 1174). The theory of planned behavior has also been used to assess

Without effective communication the behavior would most likely continue because of not receiving the message that was intended. The Integrated Behavioral Model is a person-centered model because it focuses on the needs of the individual (Glanz et.al., 2008). In the case of promoting health and wellness in youth clear, communication is necessary to keep the youth interested in making the change.

To aid to the understanding of the psychological influences of alcohol use, I choose the Theory of Planned Behaviour Model. The Theory of Planned Behaviour was created by Ajzen and Fishbein in 1974. Ajzen (1985) first defined intention as an attempt to perform a certain behaviour rather than with regard to the actual performance. Although alcohol may be beneficial to your health, however this is only if it is consumed in very small amounts. Those who are aged 18-35 are categorised with higher prevalence of alcohol use.

The theory of planned behaviour has been used across many diverse fields; it has assisted researchers in explaining and predicting health behaviours and intentions which include smoking and drinking and has been used in conjunction with internet use and buying environmentally friendly products. The vital factor to this theory is behavioural intent; behavioural intentions are influenced by the attitude of the individual. The attitude is directed towards the likelihood that the behaviour will have an

This model has 5 stages; Pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance however the individual may not move from stage 1-5. Implementation intentions make explicit the mechanisms that reduce the ‘gap’ between intentions and the attainment of a behavioural goal. The Health Belief model, The protection motivation Theory as well as the Theory of planned all describe how a set of beliefs influence a person’s health. Beliefs that people hold towards health such as attitude, control risk perception and confidence have major impacts on their behavior. If a person is characterized by the protective motivation theory for example that person will ask themselves how severe the illness is they are trying to prevent?

This study investigates whether young adults prefer to minimise risk whilst maximising reward, which can be illustrated through the Theory of Planned Behaviour. The study involved 696 undergraduates who had to choose between two stimuli to gain points. This was done in two stages, with 152 trials altogether. After the trials, subjects had to participate in a questionnaire to analyse how risky they perceived themselves to be. High variability and low variability results were compared and it was shown to be of significance difference in stage two. Overall, the results suggested a person’s preference was to choose the option with the least risk to gain the maximum reward as past experience and beliefs impact on a person’s choice seen through the

Either way, parents who are proactive in their children’s food consumption can vastly improve overall health. Future research can expand on this (Kitzmann et al., 2013) by conducting and measuring the benefits of longitudinal interventions, compared to short-term.

The health issue of childhood obesity affects the well-being of many children and adolescents; however, applying Icek Ajzen and Martin Fishbein’s Theory of Planned Behavior directly reflects the behaviors of the parents and their influential habits on their children. Before the Theory of Planned Behavior, Ajzen and Fishbein developed the Theory of Reasoned Action based off of Donelson E. Dulany’s Theory of Propositional Control from 1968 (Boster, Shaw, Carpenter, & Massi-Lindsey, 2014). The Theory of Reasoned Action consists of four major elements, “normative social pressure (the subjective norm), affect (attitude toward the behavior), cognition (behavioral intention), and action (behavior)” (Boster et al., 2014, pp.700), which illustrates

Narrative studies give an account of reality or lived experiences by people that share those stories with the author (Creswell, 2013). The researcher then has to analyze that information gathered during the study in order to get an understanding of those lived experiences (Creswell, 2013). In narrative studies, the use of theory provides a focus to understand a population’s behavior. For example, exercise is a choice for anyone, but for those that experienced heart attacks it may be used as a necessary component of a healthy lifestyle. Thus the theory of planned behavior can be used to understand the need to exercise among those who have experienced heart attacks (Ajzen, 2011). According to the theory of planned behavior ones social norm, beliefs, and environment, influences one to
