Theory Comparisons

Refer to the attached reading and Compare and contrast each of the following four behavior change theories:

• Health Belief Model
• Social Cognitive Theory
• Trans theoretical Model of Change
• Theory of Planned Behavior

Read about the theory from the textbook, use the lecture recording as a reference, and do some additional research.

How do the identified behavioral theories illustrate how health and well-being are factors of social conditions?

Section 1: Summarize each behavioral theory in less than five sentences (each), to illustrate how health and wellness are factors of social conditions.

Section 2: Note key similarities between the theories in general, and more importantly, the main constructs. FYI- they all focus on behavior change, so do not mention this as a similarity, the number of constructs in each model is also not worthy of mention.

Section 3: Note key differences between the theories in general, and more importantly, their main constructs.
