1. Primary: prevention of problem, illness, casualty. Healthy people
2. Secondary: tracing illnesses in early phase for early treatment or prevention
of more serious complaints. Healthy people with increased risk for
disease
3. Tertiary: prevention of complications & worsening of symptoms through
optimal care + self-regulation interventions. Ill people

Getting motivated
HBM
Perceived threat central to the model. E.g., taking action (Covid-19)
depends on one’s susceptibility & severity of the disease.
Evaluation of results from behaviors - benefits & barriers
Lecture Notes 1
, General health motivation & cues to action (how often is someone
prompted to perform protective behaviors)
Sources that strengthen self-efficacy: own mastery/ failed
experiences, vicarious experiences (people who resemble you,
modeling), verbal persuasion, own emotions.
Action planning (II’s) vs. coping planning (anticipating & dealing with
barriers)
Interference from impulsive processes
Dual process theories
Type 1: fast, unconscious, automatic, no WM capacity, impulses;
Type 2: slow, conscious, serial, controlled
Reflective Impulsive Model: both systems operate in parallel.
Impulsive system always engages in processing whereas reflective
system may be disengaged (required high cognitive capacity).
Reflective: explicit; knowledge, facts, values
Impulsive: implicit; habits, impulses
Which system wins depends on cognitive capacity/ WM, self-
control, impulsivity, alcohol, emotions, habit strength
Habits
Mental association between cue and goal-directed response.
Repetition in a stable situation, no intention/ planning required.
Difficult for reflective system to deal with habits
, Week 2 - Changing Health Behavior
NICE guidelines - most important determinants
outcome expectancies descriptive norms
personal relevance subjective norms
positive attitude personal & moral norms
self-efficacy
Fear appeal - Does it work? → Depends
Extended Parallel Process Model
Perceived threat & self-efficacy important
high fear, low self-efficacy → defensive motivation
low fear, high self-efficacy → protective motivation
Other approaches
Motivational interviewing: motivation to change elicited from the client
Intention-Behavior Gap
intentions not always sufficient for behavior change → intentional control of
behavior limited
Bridging the gap: self-regulation skill: making plans → the volitional phase
Motivational phase = setting goals/ intentions
