Seminar 2 Results

We have a Stairway reference, a mess, a model for creating addiction (no positive outcomes, Green?), outside factors for the trans-behavioral, a Blue Flower, a four-way, bottom-up, and two sapphire members in black.

Seminar Review:
Yellow Model: Stairway to Change
Renamed Trans-behavioral model
What
• Beliefs
Ooh…
• Plan for oops
• Plan for transition
Ready, Set
• Available resources
Go
• Social Support
• Self-efficacy
Got it!
• Oops… (failure/relapse)
Supports for each of the steps are indented

Purple Model: Mess
Perceived Social Reality
• Surrounds everything
Strategic Plan influenced by
• Perceived Social Norms
• Social Support
• Attitudes
o Vs. Perceived Benefits
• Costs/Access also influence
Plan receives feedback from social support, self-efficacy before becoming behavior (maintenance)

Green Model: Addiction Model
Genetic Family History
Individual
Active Intention
Social Environment
• Creates drug abuse

Red Model:
Stress, negative feedback – Negative influences for trans-behavioral
Support, resources, motivation – positive
Plus environment, culture, SES at all stages

Blue Flower Model:
• Environment, race, family structure – roots
• Media, Social support, SES +/- reinforcement, geography, modeling, education – Stem
• Social norm, costs, benefits, self-efficacy, intent, stages, trigger, access – petals
• Behavior change

Pink – Four-way
• Intention
• Internal/External Factors that influence this interaction
o Internal
• Knowledge
• Priorities
• Self efficacy
• Values
• Self-worth
• Pleasure
• Autonomy
o External
• Social norms/attitudes
• Social support
• Economic status
• Media
• Gov’t
• Education
• Behavior

Orange – Bottom-Up Theory
• Biology/Genetics
• Informed Decision
• Social Bundle
o Influences intent
• Internal/External Detractors
o To realize behavior

Sapphire: Self-Identification Model
• Intent – Maintenance – Behavior – Looped
• Factors affect each step
o Behavior influences intent through self-efficacy

"There is really no magic in the existing models."
In just 45 minutes you can create your own models, based upon personal knowledge and experiences.
Shameless promotion: "Many of your models are better than any of the existing models"
How these have improved upon existing models:
• Combining existing models
o Purple’s “Social Reality Encasement” Model
• Red
o Encapsulated stages of change model
• Yellow
o Stairway – traditional linear model now incorporates difficulty and progress of change
o Identified factors contributing to movement along staircase
• Green – active intent
• Blue – emphasizing biological connection/mechanism of factors at each level
o Some factors are deeply implanted
o Some develop from these factors, integrate
o Behavior influenced by both roots and weather
• Pink – Countervailing Locus
• Orange
o Bottom-Up – Internal/external detractors show why arrow connection isn’t direct
• Sapphire
o Behavior change as a triangle, within which factors affect interplay between corners

Learning only models can be detrimental, limiting thought

Explicitly think about what model to use – don’t blindly take and use model – we need to open up our vision.
Use any model, but first decide that it is appropriate and understand advantages and disadvantages of the model.
