Health Behavior Change Project

- Challenges

  • Finding the right time
  • Working out in times of stress
  • Adapting the "laziness" trait

- Self-efficacy intervention

  • Strenuousness scale
  • Peer support
  • Athlete friends!
  • Work-out buddy (Emily)

- Future studies

  • College campuses --> does the demographic/health of the state mirror the physical health of students?

- Made a substantial change

  • Currently in the action phase
  • Make a significant, measurable change in the next 6 months

"Exercise Behavior Change through

Self-Efficacy Intervention and Contingency Contracts"

Zoe Andris

Results & Figures

Introduction

  • Purpose = combine Social Cognitive Theory with the Stages of Change Model (SCM) --> improve exercise self-efficacy and utilize contingency contracts
  • Lack of exercise is common in U.S. adolescents and young adults
  • Steep decline between 15-18 y.o., continues through age 21
  • Lack of time and motivation; previous negative experiences
  • Risks
  • Interventions
  • Wallace et al. (2000) & Sevick et al. (2000)

COLLEGE FEMALES & SEDENTARY ADULTS

- Family and peer support

- Focus on improving exercise-self efficacy

Method

CASE STUDY: 20-year-old female (preparation/determination stage)

  • Fairly sedentary/lazy
  • 2 previous attempts to incorporate physical activity into her lifestyle
  • Last spring semester
  • This past summer

Intervention

Spring Break -- Miami Beach, FL

  • Contingency contracts put into place
  • Supportive, not disparaging (i.e. "have you worked out today?")
  • Share new exercises
  • Advice from a trainer
  • Equal encouragement
  • Discussed previous behaviors

Proposed Method: work out five times per week

  • National Objectives = 30 mins. of moderate physical activity most days of the week; activities that enhance and maintain muscular strength, endurance and flexibility (Lowry, 2000).
  • Tracked duration, activity and personal strenuousness scale (1 = very easy, 10 = very hard) through Microsoft Excel
  • SELF-EFFICACY (peer support and strenuousness scale) & CONTINGENCY CONTRACTS (with parents during intervention)
  • A-B-C format (baseline, "willpower," intervention)
  • Came up with a doable, daily workout to fit my schedule
  • 30-35 minutes -- elliptical
  • 5-10 minutes -- abs
  • 10 minutes -- weights (optional)

In Miami -- jogging on the beach, long walks (increased endurance and distance)
