A gym is attempting to develop a new weight-loss program. The developers of the
program think that the major reason people fail to lose weight is that those who want to
lose weight don't believe they have the ability to successfully stick to a workout
schedule. The developers feel that by giving the customers a sense of control over their
ability to stick to a workout schedule, they will be more likely to succeed. What theory of
health behavior does this approach fit best under? - ANS-The theory of planned
behavior. The belief that we can influence our own behavior and be successful in
attaining our goals is called perceived control in the theory of planned behavior. In this
example, the developers of the program think that by increasing peoples' perceived
control over adhering to a workout schedule, weight loss will be more likely to occur.
A virus is circulating throughout a community. It causes very mild or sometimes no
symptoms in those who are infected with it. A public health group is attempting to
convince the population to be vaccinated against it to prevent its spread. According to
the health belief model, will they likely be successful in achieving high rates of
vaccination? - ANS-No, according to the health belief model, they will likely not be
successful in achieving high vaccination rates because the perceived severity of the
threat is very low. People are not likely to participate in a health behavior if they do not
feel like there is a threat to provoke them to do so.

whether or not someone will engage in a health behavior is: - ANS-a. Their intention to
change the behavior
b. Their attitude toward the behavior
c. Their perceived control over their ability to make a
change
d. Pressure to change from others around them
A. The theory of planned behavior (TPB) suggests that the intention to change the
behavior is what really determines the likelihood of engaging in a health behavior. The
intention itself is shaped by attitudes, norms, and perceived control.
