Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this program was to increase insufficiently active employee's exercise participation. Using the one way analysis of variance, there was a significant difference between groups for self-reported, moderate-intensity minutes at post-test, follow-up one and follow-up two (p=.001). There was a significant difference in moderate-intensity frequency at post-test, follow-up one and follow-up two (p=.001). There was also a significant difference between groups for vigorous-intensity minutes at post-test (p=.001), follow-up one (p=.001) and follow-up two (p=.002). Additionally, there was a significant difference between groups for vigorous-intensity frequency at post-test, follow-up one and follow-up two (p=.001). Using the one way analysis of variance to examine the social cognitive theory constructs, there was a significant difference between groups for self-regulation at post-test, follow-up one and follow-up two (p=.001). There was not a significant difference between groups for self-efficacy at any time period. Family and friend social support group differences were non-significant at post-test and follow-up one, but there was a significant difference at follow-up two (p=.001). Between group differences for exercise enjoyment was non-significant for post-test but significant for follow-up (p=.003). Outcome expectations and expectancies was non-significant for all time periods. The present study was successful in increasing the short and long-term exercise rates of the participants.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of theoretical exercise-behavior change interventions in the workplace have demonstrated the ability to increase the level of the employees short-term exercise behavior. However, the effects of these programs on long-term adherence rates, and the cognitive-behavioral changes targeted by those interventions are relatively unknown. Furthermore, would a program targeting health and fitness improvements have a similar impact on rates of exercise adherence. The purpose of this study was to evaluate two educational exercise adherence interventions on rates of exercise and exercise adherence. Two eight week educational exercise adherence programs were developed for the purpose of this study. The first group the Mastering Adherence Program (MAP) focused on self-regulatory behavior skills and theoretical constructs derived from the social cognitive theory. The second program was the Fitness In Training program (FIT) who focused on improving or maintaining a participant selected fitness component(s). MAP Participants attended eight one on one educational sessions with a program educator to implement the program on an individual basis. The lessons were designed to target self-regulation and self-efficacy for exercise. The FIT group attended eight one on one educational sessions with a program educator to implement the program on an individual basis. These lessons were designed to utilize increase in health and fitness as the method of behavior change. Exercise and construct measurements occurred at pre-test, post-test, and follow-up.

This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of a Social Cognitive Theory based intervention designed to increase the frequency of leisure time planned moderate and vigorous physical exercise among high school students attending physical education class. This study was designed to be a pilot test of an educational curriculum therefore a Quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group research design was to be used. Students in each group were exposed to similar physical education curricula, however the experimental group students received an additional social cognitive theory based curricular component focused on behavioral skill building exercises. A Social Cognitive Theory based educational treatment was delivered. The primary research questions were evaluated through the use of a behavioral evaluation. This evaluation allowed for exploration of the effectiveness of the intervention with regard to moderate and vigorous physical exercise behavior. Secondary research questions were evaluated through the use of construct validity evaluation and implementation evaluation. Construct validity evaluation involved the use of impact evaluation methods to link intervention components with changes in the targeted theoretical constructs. Implementation evaluation was used to provide some assurance that the designed treatment was delivered to the subjects adequately. The results from this study indicate that the implemented Social Cognitive Theory based educational treatment had an impact on the student's levels of self-regulation and social situation as well as moderate physical exercise. The implemented Social Cognitive Theory based educational treatment did not however, have an impact upon students' levels of strength of self-efficacy, outcome expectancy values or vigorous physical exercise. This study provides information that adds to the body of literature pertaining to exercise promotion among adolescent high school students. This study was one of just a few projects attempting to target adolescent leisure time physical exercise using in-class methods. This study demonstrated an impact on two social cognitive theory constructs as well as moderate physical exercise behavior that is larger than previous studies published in the literature and demonstrated the value of continuing investigation of this curriculum.
Book Synopsis The Handbook of Behavior Change by : Martin S. Hagger
Download or read book The Handbook of Behavior Change written by Martin S. Hagger and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-15 with total page 730 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social problems in many domains, including health, education, social relationships, and the workplace, have their origins in human behavior. The documented links between behavior and social problems have compelled governments and organizations to prioritize and mobilize efforts to develop effective, evidence-based means to promote adaptive behavior change. In recognition of this impetus, The Handbook of Behavior Change provides comprehensive coverage of contemporary theory, research, and practice on behavior change. It summarizes current evidence-based approaches to behavior change in chapters authored by leading theorists, researchers, and practitioners from multiple disciplines, including psychology, sociology, behavioral science, economics, philosophy, and implementation science. It is the go-to resource for researchers, students, practitioners, and policy makers looking for current knowledge on behavior change and guidance on how to develop effective interventions to change behavior.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Take Control intervention to promote days of physical activity among adults in a targeted neighborhood, as compared to a standard education intervention (Just Move). A quasi-experimental, non-equivalent comparison group research design was used. The Take Control intervention was based on the Social Cognitive Theory (SCT). Specifically the constructs of self-regulation, self-efficacy and social support were targeted. Participants in the Take Control intervention received at their home, a series of self-guided worksheets that were tailored to address a specific SCT construct. Both programs were a six-week, home-based intervention that was designed to increase days of moderate and vigorous activity among adults. Three evaluation techniques were utilized. The first evaluation technique, behavioral impact evaluation, analyses the impact the intervention had on days of physical activity. The second evaluation technique, construct validation of the treatment, links intervention components to changes in the targeted SCT constructs. The third evaluation technique, process evaluation, measures if the intervention was implemented as intended. The study revealed that both groups significantly improved days of physical activity from pretest to posttest. Of the three SCT constructs targeted, only self-regulation increased from pretest to posttest. This study adds to the body of literature. It one of the few home-based studies that implements theoretical constructs. This study also supports that a minimal contact home-based intervention can impact days of physical activity as well as self-regulation skills.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Research from the CDC suggests that as of 2007 25.6% of the respondents to the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey are insufficiently active (Galuska et al., 2008). This trend is repeated in firefighters and is of particular interest due to a high rate of deaths due to cardiovascular events in this profession. Inactivity is one of the major risk factors for the development of a number of chronic diseases including obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, stroke, and cardiovascular disease (Galuska et al., 2008). Because inactivity is a modifiable behavior, it is of utility to develop and implement interventions to increase exercise. The purpose of this study was to develop, implement, and evaluate the impact on exercise participation of the 5-ALARM Fitness Program (Five Associated Lifestyle Attributes Regulating Motivation) in a sample of firefighters in suburbs of a large Midwestern Ohio city. A six-week intervention utilizing the theoretical tenets of Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) was implemented in the firehouse during duty days. Exercise participation was measured by self report before the intervention, at the completion of the intervention, and two weeks following the intervention to determine if exercise increased in either the exercise prescription comparison group or the 5-ALARM Fitness group when compared to the usual care control group. Additionally, SCT constructs were measured (self-efficacy, self-regulation, and social support) to determine whether the intervention would increase the constructs. For minutes of moderate and vigorous exercise there was a significant increase in participation both at the six-week post-test and at the one month follow-up testing. There was no significant change in self-efficacy, and there was an increase, although insignificant, in self-regulation and social support. Overall there is support that the intervention has an effect on increasing exercise participation, although there is not evidence that the intervention resulted in increases in the social cognitive theory constructs.

This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many evidence suggested that physical activity provides benefits to people with intellectual disabilities (ID), yet adults with ID did not reach the recommended guideline for physical activity and further research of PA programme that adaptable to the need of ID was important for this special population. There was no SCT-based PA intervention programmes to promote healthy behaviour among adults with ID in Hong Kong worksite, and findings from the reviews showed that Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) is the most widely used theoretic foundation. This study was to evaluate the effects of a Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) based physical activity intervention designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the twelve-week intervention with regard to psychosocial behaviour using SCT and physical activity behaviour among adults with intellectual disability in non-working time.
