Step 3 - Methods & Applications
matrices as tool (don't do anything with behavior change), therefore you need methods
intervention does not influence behavior directly, but through our minds
you target determinants to change behavior
determinants are very abstract, but you have to target something very specific ( the beliefs) --> translate it into a practical application with the right parameters for use
MDMA
- dose in pills has increased (problematic)
do i like the effects of a high dose of MDMA?
attitude
what do my friends think i should do?
perceived (social) norm
can I obtain XTC pills with a lower dose?
self-efficacy
Method for Behavior Change
Application
change sub-determinants (e.g. beliefs)
aggregate into determinants
performance objective
Behavior
determinants influence behavioral intention
my attitude about condom use
knowledge
e.g. my friends thoughts about condom use
Tasks
generate
themes, components, scope & sequence
choose theory- and evidence-based
change methods
select or design
practical applications
to deliver change methods
same method can be translated into variable applications
combine applications into your program
(one big components, or several separate components?)
and their order
Reasoned Action Approach
if you change belief positively, you change the determinant, which then changes the behavior
Recap - Step 2
you have a table with the determinants and their changeability & relevance
matrix of change objectives
Methods for Behavior Change
Parameters
= conditions for effectiveness
different methods for individual & environmental levels
Example =
Modeling
psychological mechanism
= people learn "vicariously", through experience of others rather than through experience
manual
= expose recipients to an adequate model performing the desired behavior
parameters
= skills to copy model's behavior, identification with the model; reinforcement of the model; coping model, model has to be positively reinforced
example
-> car, if you watch a mechanic fix your car, it is modeling, but you do not have the skills to do it yourself even after observing the mechanic
organized per determinant
so there are methods for knowledge, self-efficacy
method ----> application (mediated by parameters)
parameters -- you cannot use a hammer for a screw
Conditions for effectiveness
1)
relevant target
(determinant & belief predict behavior)
2)
appropriate method selection
(method can influence determinant)
3)
Adequate application
(Parameters for effectiveness are met)
