The role of psychological factors in patients’ choices to see their general practitioner or pharmacist for minor conditions
OBJECTIVE: UK-based patients can consult with, and be treated by, pharmacists for various minor medical conditions. However, research needs to identify the psychological factors that influence patients' decisions to consult with a pharmacist over alternative treatment responses. The current study addressed this gap. METHODS AND MEASURES: = 329) completed measures of respect and trust for general practitioners (GPs) and pharmacists, alongside othe…
Impact of UK National Clinical Communication Guidelines on Adults’ Perceptions of Doctors and Treatment Commitment
UK national guidelines recommend how healthcare professionals should communicate with patients. However, the impact of following, or violating, these guidelines on how much the healthcare professional is respected, liked, or trusted, and the mechanisms underpinning, and consequences of, these perceptions have not been tested. To address these gaps, two UK-based, pre-registered studies using within-subjects designs required participants to rate ho…
Effects of worry postponement on daily worry and sleep
Objective Previous studies have shown that perseverative, worrisome thoughts are prospectively related to poor sleep outcomes and that worry postponement interventions may be effective in reducing worry. However, their effectiveness for improving sleep outcomes is unknown and they have not been tested over a period longer than 7 days. The current study investigated the effects of a worry postponement intervention, alongside a worry postponement +…
The role of perseverative cognition in the job strain-health outcome relationship
Objective. Job strain has been implicated in a variety of adverse health outcomes, particularly cardiometabolic and inflammatory diseases. However, the mechanisms underlying these effects remain largely unknown. One possibility is that the maladaptive coping response to stress, (perseverative cognition (PC); the cognitive representation of past stressful events (rumination) or feared future events (worry)), either in work or more generally, media…
Perseverative cognition and health behaviours
OBJECTIVE: Worry and rumination (Perseverative Cognition, PC) have been associated with health behaviours, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Given the role of physiological experiences on perceived behavioural control (PBC) and emotion regulation on intention-health behaviour relationships, we tested whether: PC prospectively predicts poorer health behaviours; PC moderates the relationship(s) between intentions/PBC and health behaviour, …
A test of the M orality‐ A gency‐ C ommunion ( MAC ) model of respect and liking across positive and negative traits
The Morality‐Agency‐Communion (MAC) model of respect and liking suggests that traits linked with morality are important for respect and liking; traits related to competence or assertiveness are important for respect and traits related to warmth are important for liking. However, tests of this model have tended not to consider traits related to immorality, incompetence, lack of assertiveness or coldness. This study addressed this issue by utilizin…
Cross-sectional and prospective associations between stress, perseverative cognition and health behaviours
OBJECTIVES: The Perseverative Cognition Hypothesis (proposing negative repetitive thinking has detrimental effects on physical health), has been extended to include health behaviours. This study aimed to examine relationships between perseverative cognition, stress and health behaviours. DESIGN: = 336) completed online surveys twice, 3 months apart. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Cross-sectional and prospective associations between perseverative cognitio…
A meta-analysis of self-determination theory-informed intervention studies in the health domain
The Morality‐Agency‐Communion (MAC) model of respect and liking
Traits can primarily facilitate one's own goals (agentic) or those of others (communal) with the former linked with respect and the latter with liking. However, communal traits vary in morality, which has been associated with respect. Four studies tested the impact of traits varying in morality, agency (competence or assertiveness) and communion (warmth) on ratings of respect and liking. Studies 1 and 2 used vignettes targeting integrity (communi…
Do socio-structural factors moderate the effects of health cognitions on Covid-19 protection behaviours
Socio-structural variables affect how health cognitions relate to recommended COVID-19 protection behaviours. As a result, behavioural interventions based on social-cognitive theories might be less effective in participants from disadvantaged backgrounds
Using the question-behavior effect to change multiple health behaviors
Asking questions about a behavior has been found to influence subsequent performance of that behavior, a phenomenon termed the question-behavior effect (QBE). The present study addressed two under-researched questions concerning the QBE: (1) Can the QBE be used to change multiple health behaviors, and (2) does enhancing dissonance during questionnaire completion increase the magnitude of the QBE? Participants ( N = 1534) were randomized to one of…
The TIPPME intervention typology for changing environments to change behaviour
The question-behaviour effect
Research has demonstrated that asking people questions about a behaviour can lead to behaviour change. Despite many, varied studies in different domains, it is only recently that this phenomenon has been studied under the umbrella term of the question-behaviour effect (QBE) and moderators of the effect have been investigated. With a particular focus on our own contributions, this article: (1) provides an overview of QBE research; (2) reviews and …
Does monitoring goal progress promote goal attainment? A meta-analysis of the experimental evidence
Does theory influence the effectiveness of health behavior interventions? Meta-analysis.
OBJECTIVE: To systematically investigate the extent and type of theory use in physical activity and dietary interventions, as well as associations between extent and type of theory use with intervention effectiveness. METHODS: An in-depth analysis of studies included in two systematic reviews of physical activity and healthy eating interventions (k = 190). Extent and type of theory use was assessed using the Theory Coding Scheme (TCS) and interve…
Do implicit measures of attitudes incrementally predict snacking behaviour over explicit affect-related measures
Are interventions theory-based? Development of a theory coding scheme.
OBJECTIVE: Interventions are increasingly described as theory-based; however, the basis for this is often not clear. Advancing behavioral science requires a good understanding of how interventions are informed by, and test, theory. This study aims to develop a reliable method for assessing the extent to which behavioral interventions are theory-based. DESIGN: The reliability, usability, and comprehensiveness of an initial coding scheme were impro…
Using the self to change implicit attitudes
Implicit attitudes are automatic evaluations that occur upon encountering an object. Pairing a particular object with one's self should lead to a positive implicit evaluation of that object as, on the whole, people evaluate themselves positively. Study 1 ( N = 83) demonstrated that asking participants to associate themselves with a particular drink (A) and others with an alternative drink (B) was enough to enhance implicit preference for drink A …
