Table 1 Performance objectives for preventing weight gain, with a selection of determinants per performance objective
From: Systematic development of a self-regulation weight-management intervention for overweight adults
Performance Objective | Theory | Determinants |
|---|---|---|
1. People decide to prevent weight gain. | PAPM [22] | - Awareness. - Knowledge - Risk-perception [23] |
| Â | TPB [17] | - Attitude - Perceived Behavioural Control |
2. People choose at least one small change in DI or PA (goal setting). | PAPM | - Awareness |
| Â | TPB | - Attitude/preferences [33] - Subjective norm (FGI), [34, 35] - Goal-efficacy (FGI) |
| Â | SDT [36] | - Goal commitment. |
3. People prepare strategies to establish how they will make their chosen behaviour change | HAPA [37] | - Action self-efficacy [38–40] - Awareness of cues to action |
| Â | TPB | - Social influence [41] |
4. People change their DI or PA (goal striving). | HAPA | - Action self-efficacy [42] - Coping self-efficacy (FGI) |
| Â | RPT [20] | - Awareness of barriers/high risk situations - Coping self-efficacy [20] |
| Â | SRT [16] | - Awareness of standards (their self-chosen change) - Monitoring (self-regulation effort) |
5. People evaluate their behaviour change and its effect on body weight. | SRT (also for 5a, 5b and 5c) | - Awareness of personal weight standards - Skills |
a. if successful, they may maintain or adapt their goal (towards a higher goal). | HAPA | - Task self-efficacy |
| Â | SDT | Commitment |
b. If unsuccessful, they go back to previous stages (#5) and revise their strategies for them | RPT | - Recovery self-efficacy [43] |
| Â | SDT | - Commitment |
| Â | TPB | - Awareness |
c. if unsuccessful, they may also choose a new behavioural goal (#2) | Â | Â |
