A higher effort-based paradigm in physical activity and exercise for public health: Making the case for a greater emphasis on resistance training
It is well known that physical activity and exercise is associated with a lower risk of a range of morbidities and all-cause mortality. Further, it appears that risk reductions are greater when physical activity and/or exercise is performed at a higher intensity of effort. Why this may be the case is perhaps explained by the accumulating evidence linking physical fitness and performance outcomes (e.g. cardiorespiratory fitness, strength, and musc…

Social Cognitive Mediators of Change in a Group Randomized Nutrition and Physical Activity Intervention: Social Support, Self-efficacy, Outcome Expectations and Self-regulation in the Guide-to-Health …
In an evaluation of the theoretical foundations of behavior change, the current study examined whether social cognitive (SCT) variables mediated treatment effects on physical activity and nutrition in the recently reported Guide-to-Health trial (GTH). Adults ( N = 661) were assessed at baseline, seven months and 16 months to examine whether treatment-related changes in SCT variables at seven months mediated change in nutrition and physical activi…
Self-regulation, self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and social support: Social cognitive theory and nutrition behavior
BACKGROUND: Understanding the need for and accessibility to healthier foods have not improved the overall diets of the U.S. population. Social cognitive theory (SCT) may explain how other variables, such as self-regulation and self-efficacy, may be key to integrating healthier nutrition into U.S. lifestyles. PURPOSE: To determine how SCT accounts for the nutritional content of food purchases and consumption among adults in a health promotion stud…
Social-cognitive determinants of physical activity: The influence of social support, self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and self-regulation among participants in a church-based health promotion stud…
A social-cognitive model of physical activity was tested, using structural equation analysis of data from 999 adults (21% African American; 66% female; 38% inactive) recruited from 14 southwestern Virginia churches participating in the baseline phase of a health promotion study. Within the model, age, race, social support, self-efficacy, and self-regulation contributed to participants' physical activity levels, but outcome expectations did not. O…

The Effects of a Multimedia System in Supermarkets To Alter Shoppers' Food Purchases: Nutritional Outcomes and Caveats
A randomized-control test of a multimedia nutrition intervention-the Nutrition for a Lifetime System (NLS(c))- utilized supermarket receipts to examine effects of NLS treatment on the daily per person nutritional content of participants' supermarket purchases. In regression analyses controlling for background variables, baseline purchases and trends toward increased purchasing, NLS treatment contributed to lower levels of total fat and to higher …
The Effects of the Safe-sun Program on Patrons' and Lifeguards' Skin Cancer Risk-reduction Behaviors at Swimming Pools
The 'Safe Sun' program had the goal of increasing patrons' and lifeguards' skin-protective behaviors and involved informational, prompting, feedback and goal-setting and incentive components coupled with pool lifeguards modeling protective behaviors such as wearing shirts, hats and sunglasses or staying in shaded areas. During two phases of a project involving 27 pools, it was found that while the program increased patrons' and lifeguards' protec…
HIV risk behaviors among women living in low-income, inner-city housing developments
OBJECTIVES. This study describes the prevalence and predictors of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk behaviors among women living in low-income, inner-city housing developments. METHODS. Anonymous questionnaires were administered to 671 women living in 10 inner-city, low-income housing developments in five US cities to determine their levels of HIV risk behavior and predictors of HIV risk practices. RESULTS. Approximately one third of women …
HIV antibody testing of gay men in smaller US cities
The incidence of new AIDS diagnoses among gay males indicates that risk reduction in smaller communities may be lagging behind that reported in larger cities. Contradictory evidence exists, largely from urban areas, concerning the utility of HIV testing as a means of promoting behavioural change. This study examined the relationship between HIV antibody testing and subsequent high-risk sexual behaviours among gay men in cities of 180,000 or fewer…

Behavioral interventions in resource conservation: A systems approach based on behavioral economics
Behavioral interventions to promote resource conservation have tended to focus narrowly on the control of target behaviors or practices, at the expense of viewing conservation behaviors within a systems context both at the micro and macro levels. This article outlines some of the advantages of an integration of psychological (social-learning) and economic conceptualizations.

Group Feedback and Group Contingencies in Modifying Behavior of Fifth Graders
Systematic feedback on performance based on ratings given to an entire class improved the appropriate behavior of all children sampled in a fifth grade creative arts class regardless of initial baseline level. Contingencies also applied to the entire class and based on the feedback-rating system resulted in further improvement. The procedures and results are discussed with reference to open classroom settings

A cross-sectional study of children and their families in different child care environments: Some data and conclusions
This study compared children and families involved in four child care environments—all day center care (n = 35), all day sitter (family) care (n = 15), partial center/sitter-home (mixed) care (n = 31), and exclusive at home care (n = 43). These 124 two-parent families were predominately white and middle class. Measures included the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities, a preschool test, a social develop…
Chairpersons' and hirees' opinions, knowledge, and experiences with affirmative action guidelines
Chairpersons and recent hirees at the University of Kentucky were surveyed concerning their knowledge, opinions, and actual experiences with affirmative action guidelines. The responses of both groups suggested the utility of public advertising procedures but pointed toward the lack of clarity in the guidelines for other facets and decisions involved in the hiring process. Chairpersons and hirees varied widely concerning opinions about resentment…
Birth order effects and their implications for child care research and programs
Using previously collected data on the effects of different child care environments on children 4 to 5 1/2 years old, results supporting Zajonc and Markus's confluence model of the interactive effects of family size, birth order, and age between siblings as predictors of intelligence were found for only children. Consistent with an ecological perspective, family patterns were seen as important in evaluating the impact of different child care moda…

Mental health treatment and referral practices of clergy and physician caregivers
Consistent with previous literature, the results of a detailed survey mailed to clergy and physicians from a community known for its longstanding, excellent mental health system indicated extensive treatment and referral of mental health problems by clergy and physicians. Clergy and physicians, though, displayed very limited knowledge of mental health services and personnel, particularly innovative approaches and workers. Receiving mental health …
