Which of the following statements best reflects the concept underlying Protection Motivation Theory?
Motivation is the basis for behavior change
Fear motivates people to change their behavior
Protecting oneself from harm is the impetus for change
Behavior changes when people are threatened by external factors
Protection Motivation Theory has it's roots in health communication where it is used to:
Change behavior by intimidation
Create fear campaigns to get people to adopt recommended behaviors
Threaten people into making changes known to reduce the spread of disease
Provoke debate between public health agencies and the general public on health behavior change
The decision to adopt a recommended preventative behavior is based on all the following perceptions EXCEPT:
Severity of the threat.
Expectancy of exposure.
Complexity of treatment.
Efficacy of the recommended action.
Response efficacy differs from response self-efficacy in that:
Response efficacy refers to the effectiveness of the recommended action; response self-efficacy refers to one's belief in the ability to perform the recommended action.
response efficacy changes over time; response self-efficacy does not change over time.
Response efficacy does not affect the likely adoption of a recommended action; response self-efficacy does affect adoption.
Response efficacy is determined by personal perception; response self-efficacy is determined by external assessment.
Which of the following strategies reflects the construct of threat appraisal in a program aimed at preventing the injury or death of small children from being left unattended in hot cars.
Demonstrate how to determine if a car is too hot to leave a child in it.
Explain what happens physiologically when a child is left in a hot car.
Develop a self-assessment to determine the likelihood of leaving a child in a hot car.
Discuss the laws pertaining to leaving a child in a hot car when it results in injury or death.
Protection motivation theory tells us that response cost is an important factor to consider when developing an intervention because:
People generally do not spend money on things they are not sure will work.
The intervention will not be successful if the cost of getting a good response is too high.
When the cost of a recommended action is more than people can spend, they will not adopt it.
There is only a limited amount of money that can be spent on trying to get the population to adopt the recommended action.
The aim of using protection motivation theory as the basis of a program is adoption of the adaptive response.
