Recall…• The problem
• Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diseases related to physical inactivity
• Physical activity shown to reduce risk to CVD and other diseases
• Low levels of physical activity among populations in industrialised countries
![Page 3: Social Cognitive Theories of Exercise Behaviour Hagger & Chatzisarantis, Chapter 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d8e550346895dcb9ea1/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Role of Exercise Psychology
• Exercise psychologists aim to:– Identify the influential variables
(antecedents) that predict physical activity behaviour and
– Develop a strategy to manipulate such variables and bring about a behaviour change in levels of physical activity

• Steep drop-off in exercise participation after 6 months
• Sallis et al. (1990) survey found up to 40% of exercisers had a ‘relapse’
• 20% had more than 3 relapses• Reasons?• Dishman and Buckworth (1997):
“People need self-regulatory skills”
The Problem of Exercise Adherence

A Theoretical Approach to Exercise Behaviour-Models of Social Cognition
• Assumption that physical activity is a voluntary behaviour under the ‘control’ of the individual, but also external stimuli
• Atheoretical approaches made no such assumptions and are also limited because:– No framework for hypothesis testing– Descriptive - interactions neglected– No ‘starting point’ for modification– Variable ‘fishing expeditions’
![Page 7: Social Cognitive Theories of Exercise Behaviour Hagger & Chatzisarantis, Chapter 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d8e550346895dcb9ea1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Further Assumptions
• Self-reports of beliefs and expectations are reliable
• People are rational decision-makers• People are information processors• Influential variables can be modified but
PROCESS can also be identified

• Self-efficacy: Situation specific self-confidence – beliefs that one can execute the behaviour
• Outcome expectancies: Beliefs that behaviour will result in salient outcomes

Health Belief Model (HBM)Schematic Representation
Readiness“I will exercise”
Source: Rosenstock (1974)
Beliefs about Health Threat
General Health Values(“I am concerned about my health”)
Perceived Severity(“If I have heart attack, I might die”
Perceived Vulnerability(“If I don’t exercise, I may have a heart attack”)
Beliefs that Specific Behaviour canReduce Threat
Perceived Barriers“There are things that are likely to get in the way
of exercising regularly”
Perceived Benefits of Behaviour ChangeExceed Costs
“Even though it will take a lot of effort to exercise regularly,it’s worth it to avoid a heart attack”

Summary of Research on HBM• Research has shown that…
Perceived severity Beliefs about the benefits of the health behaviour
…are strong predictors of readiness to engage in the behaviour (Quine et al., 1998; Abraham et al., 1999)• Only small effects for perceived…

• Limited as it does not account for all influences (e.g., self-efficacy)• Also focuses on beliefs that are not relevant to many

Summary of Research on PMT• PMT predicts that people will be motivated to exercise (respond) if they …
Believe a disease to be severe and likely to occur (vulnerability) Perceive that the health behaviour is effective in reducing the health threat (response efficacy) , is something they feel capable of doing (self-efficacy), and does not cost a lot (response cost)
• In exercise, self-efficacy, response efficacy, vulnerability, threat appraisals, and coping appraisals are influential in changing protection motivation (Milne et al., 2002)• However, effects of coping and threat appraisal have been modest
![Page 14: Social Cognitive Theories of Exercise Behaviour Hagger & Chatzisarantis, Chapter 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d8e550346895dcb9ea1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Interventions Based on HBM and PMT• Attempts have been made to change …
Threat appraisals Coping appraisals
• Threat appraisals: Manipulated using fear-arousing communications emphasizing
Painful effects of illness (heart disease) (severity) People who do not exercise are more likely to suffer from heart disease (vulnerability)
• Coping appraisals: Manipulated by providing information on (1) effectiveness of exercise and (2) providing exercises that are easy to do to promote self-efficacy• Milne et al. (2000) found that such an intervention changed exercise intentions but not behaviour

• A meta-analysis (Hagger et al., 2002) shows a strong influence of intentions on exercise behaviour• Attitudes have a strong impact on exercise intentions, subjective norms less so• The pattern is the same for direct measures and indirect measures (belief-based) of attitudes and subjective norms• Behavioural beliefs, outcome evaluations, salient referents, and motivation to comply not all account for unique variance in direct measures

• A meta-analysis (Hagger et al., 2002) have shown the TPB to predict more variance in exercise behaviour than TRA• Attitudes and perceived behavioural control have a strong impact on exercise intentions but not subjective norms• TPB is more effective in explaining intentions and behaviour that the HBM or PMT (Quine et al., 1998)• Control beliefs predict direct measures of perceived behavioural control but vary according to population (Hagger et al., 2001; Godin et al., 1991)

Interventions Based on the TPB• Interventions based on the TPB should target attitudes and perceived behavioural control in particular (Hagger et al., 2002)• Modal, salient beliefs i.e. beliefs about the behaviour that are important to the individuals in the target population and are most frequently cited should be targeted (Ajzen, 1991)• Open ended questionnaires used to obtain modal beliefs (Ajzen & Fishbein, 1980)• Persuasive communications should target these beliefs in putting forward the ‘case’ for exercise that is meaningful to the person• Recent research suggests that an intervention based on the TPB is effective in an exercise context (Chatzisarantis & Hagger, 2005)
![Page 27: Social Cognitive Theories of Exercise Behaviour Hagger & Chatzisarantis, Chapter 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d8e550346895dcb9ea1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Interventions Based on the TPB Example of an intervention ‘script’ for a TPB intervention in exercise:
“Participating in regular exercise has many benefits. You might learn how to play a new game or sport as well as improving your general level of fitness and well-being at the same time. Exercise can also be great fun. It does not necessarily cause injuries or make you feel uncomfortably hot and sweaty if you exercise as an intensity you feel comfortable with”
![Page 28: Social Cognitive Theories of Exercise Behaviour Hagger & Chatzisarantis, Chapter 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d8e550346895dcb9ea1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Sufficiency of the TPB• Limitations of TPB interventions may be due to…
Ceiling effect on attitudes (need for implemental strategy?) Focus on people with low or no intentions - motivational rather than volitional
• Distal constructs: TPB may not account for other dispositional variables that influence behaviour (e.g., personality) but expected to mediate their effects• Research shows that TPB can be modified to explain further variance in exercise intention and behaviour• Modified variables must predict unique variance in intention/behaviour (Ajzen, 1991)• Attitudinal, normative and control-related modifications shown to be effective (Hagger & Chatzisarantis, 2005)

• TPB does not capture psychological determinants of volitional behaviour, but it is a ‘flexible framework’• Predictions of unique variance in intentions and behaviour by additional variables often modest, context dependent, and reduces TPB parsimony• Practical considerations – do interventions based on the extended variables work in changing exercise intentions?• Conceptual overlap between additional variables – commonalities amongst variables can often be subsumed by global constructs (Hagger & Chatzisarantis, 2006)

• Desires are important in predicting intention – motivational aspects of attitudes not captured by traditional intentions (Perugini & Bagozzi, 2004)• Includes differentiated aspects of past behaviour – frequency and recency• Studies using the MGDB have shown that they account for more variance than the TPB (Perugini & Conner, 2000; Perugini & Bagozzi, 2001)• Desire is pivotal in mediating effects of attitudes, subjective norms, PBC, and positive and negative anticipated emotions on intentions • No interventions based on the MGDB have been conducted

A ‘Stage’ Model of Exercise:The Transtheoretical or ‘Stages of
Change’ Model
• Adopted by the HEA as a ‘theoretical approach’ to understanding exercise behaviour
• Describes the ‘logical progression’ to adopting exercise
• Also identifies processes and levels of change
![Page 35: Social Cognitive Theories of Exercise Behaviour Hagger & Chatzisarantis, Chapter 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d8e550346895dcb9ea1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The Transtheoretical Model• Pre-Contemplation: People who do not intend to
exercise• Contemplation: Intent to exercise in the next 6
months, not acting• Preparation: May be doing some exercise, ‘in’
and ‘out’• Action: Regular exercisers (3 times per week) –
high risk of relapse• Maintenance: Regular exercisers for more than 6
months – less risk of relapse

• Recent research suggests that SCM’s can be incorporated in the TTM framework• Courneya et al. (2000) found that level of intention predicted exercise stage• Armitage and Arden (2002) found similar results, but suggested that TTM stages are more like a measure of intention

Problems with the TTM
• Davis (1993) TTM is not a true cognitive model – mix of behavioural and cognitive variables
• Armitage and Arden (2002) decisional balance just another measure of intention
• Sutton (2000) linear changes in cognitive variables across stages means TTM is not a stage model
• Discontinuity patterns most important to support a ‘stage model’
