Social Cognitive Theory [WLOs: 1, 2] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3, 4]
Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Chapter 7 in your course textbook.
You are to analyze how you would apply the five constructs from Social Cognitive Theory to a public health intervention to address your final paper’s health disparity topic. In your initial post, consider the following statements as you analyze the five constructs from the Social Cognitive Theory:
- Outline how you will increase knowledge.
- Summarize how you will enhance self-efficacy.
- Conclude how you will create positive outcome expectations.
- Compare and contrast the reinforcements or rewards that you must consider.
- Summarize if it is possible to help your targeted population achieve behavior change. If so, how? Identify if there are socio structural factors to consider. If so, what are they?
- Ensure you address the concept of reciprocal triadic causation in your intervention and indicate the direction of influences. This assignment must reflect graduate-level writing and critical thinking.
