Part A Video Questions: Health Behaviour Change progress
In Part A we want you to reflect on your progress towards your SMART goal since completing post 1. The video is to be a maximum of two minutes in length. In your video please discuss your weekly achievements, reflect on thoughts and feelings underlying these achievements and link back to key health behaviour change concepts / models / theories. See marking rubric for more detail on Part A.
Video files must be uploaded to DeakinAir. Please make sure that your video is ‘unlisted’ rather than ‘private’ or ‘public’ and that you copy and paste the “share” link into your Part B word document. See marking rubric for more detail on Part A.
Part B Questions: Stress, relapse and increasing control
1. State your SMART goal (modification can be made where needed). You goal(s) should fulfill all of the SMART criteria (Specific Measurable Action-oriented Realistic Time-based). Provide a statement as to why this goal is realistic to you.
2. Complete the steps of Systematic Problem Solving for each of the 4 BEST barriers (Behaviours, Emotions, Situations, Thoughts) given in Journal 1. If you need to modify your barrier(s) from Journal 1, this is a good opportunity to do so.
For each BEST barrier identified (Behaviour, Emotion, Situation, Thought), provide the following details of your systematic problem solving:
a) Re-state your BEST barrier
b) List at least 3 possible solutions to overcome that barrier;
c) Choose one of the above solutions and explain in clear detail:
i) how you will implement it
ii) if your solution is realistic and why
iii) how it enables you to overcome the associated barrier to achieve your SMART goal.
**NOTE: This means you will complete the steps of the systematic problem solving 4 times.
3. As discussed in the self-efficacy seminar there are four domains of increasing self-efficacy (mastery of experience, verbal persuasion, vicarious experience, physiological states). Compare and contrast the two domains: Mastery of experience and Verbal persuasion. In your answer ensure that you:
a) Provide an example of how you use each strategy to increase your self-efficacy in order to achieve your SMART goal.
b) Evaluate whether one strategy is more effective at increasing your self-efficacy over your SMART goal compared to the other strategy. If they are equally effective explain why.
