psy111 foundations of psychology for health and human services theory of reasoned action

EXERCISE 1: HEALTH BEHAVIOURS AND MOTIVATION This exercise requires you to demonstrate your research skills, comprehension and critical thinking. Our behaviours stem from our intentions. Whilst intention certainly does not always translate into behaviour, it is a necessary first step. This can be applied to whether our intention to engage in healthy behaviours results in us actually doing so. When you are choosing articles for this exercise you may choose to focus on your own profession, for example as an Oral Health student you may wish to explore what the theory says about oral hygiene/oral health behaviour. Task 1 Identify two journal articles that explore how the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) can be applied to health behaviours. Under the heading Task 1, please cite them using APA format (i.e. give the full citations). You will also need to include them in your reference list. Task 2 Explain the relationship between the Theory of Reasoned Action and health behaviours. You may wish to utilise your 2 chosen articles for this, or other sources. Task 3 Why dont our good intentions always result in action? Thinking critically, outline some of the limitations of applying the Theory of Reasoned Action to health behaviours. EXERCISE 2: PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS In order to complete this exercise, you will first need to go to the CSU library site, find the Psychology databases, then find the EBSCOhost (Psychology) database, and search for this journal article (and of course, then read the article!). Please search via the CSU library rather than just a Google search, as part of the rationale for this assessment is to develop your research skills and introduce you to the library databases!
