Question 1
pts
Which of the statements below is the least accurate regarding “theory”?
Theory keeps us from randomly attempting to change behavior, moves us beyond intuition.
Interventions informed by well-tested theories are not effective in changing behavior (compared to
interventions that are not based on theory).
Theory helps us to develop an organized, systematic, and efficient approach to investigating health
behaviors.

Theory can inform the identification of hypothesized mediators, the actual intervention strategies as
well as evaluation approaches.

pts
The main objective of the Stage paradigm, and its primary difference from the value-
expectancy theories is _______1 __ _. This is thought to be effective because
______2_______.
1 = that there are three stages that most always end in the alteration of health -risk behavior depending
on the population’s readiness to change their behavior. 2 = Asking individuals to move one step at a
time is more acceptable in the long run rather than encouraging action before readiness.
1 = that there are three stages that most always end in the alteration of health-risk behavior depending
on the population’s readiness to change their behavior. 2 = the intervention is tailored for each
individual to progress to the last behavior-changing stage regardless of the barriers in place.
1 = that there are a series of sequential stages, which end in the elimination of health -risk behavior of
the long-term adoption of health-protective behavior. 2 = Asking individuals to move one step at a time
is more acceptable in the long run rather than encouraging action before readiness.
