WHAT IS HEALTH BEHAVIOR?
health behavior
activity undertaken by an individual who believes
himself/herself to be healthy, for the purpose of preventing
or detecting illness in an asymptomatic state
behavior
activity undertaken by an individual who perceives
himself/herself to be ill, to define the state of health, and to
discover a suitable remedy
behavior
activity undertaken by an individual who considers
himself/herself to be ill, for the purpose of getting well.

HEALTH EDUCATION
behavior is the central concern of health
education
for HE:
from three settings: communities, school, & patient ca
re sites

for HE:
individuals, groups, organizations who share similar characteris

WHAT IS THEORY?
set of interrelated concepts, definitions, and
propositions that present a systematic view of events or
situations by specifying relations among variables in

with practical topics, goals and problems.
CONCEPTS, CONSTRUCTS, & VARIABLES
building blocks of a theory.
the “building blocks” have been accepted for use in a
theory.

operational forms of a construct, how a construct is
measured in a certain situation. Variables and constructs
should match when a theory evaluation is being performed.
PRINCIPLES AND MODELS

PARADIGM IN

paradigm is a “basic schema the organizes our broadly

are related to:
1.
An emphasis on use of induction, feelings, sensory experiences
or
personal judgments
2. The view that deduction is the standard or verification or
confirmation of theory, so the theory must be tested through
empirical methods and observation.

6 CRITERIA USED TO EVALUATE THEORY
Scope
How general is the theory? That is, how widely applicable is it?
iateness
Theories are often evaluated based upon how well their epistem
ological,
ontological, and axiological
assumptions relate to the issue or question being
explained.
value
The success of a theory may rest on how readily other researche
rs may continue
to do fruitful work in reaction or support.
Are the arguments internally consistent and are its predictions a
nd claims
derived logically from its assumptions? Many also require that t
heories be
falsifiable; that is, theories that present predictions that‐‐if they
prove to be
incorrect‐‐invalidate the theory.
Theory should provide the simplest possible (viable) explanatio
n for a
phenomenon. "Aha!" moment in which an explanation feels as if
it fits.
Theories, perhaps paradoxically, should not exist to the absolute
exclusion of
other theories. Theory should not be dogma.
THEORY AS POINTS OF VIEW
theory is not "true," or "false”, but rather better or
worse at explaining the causes of a particular event.
within the social sciences, we may find several
different theories that each explain a phenomenon in
useful ways. There is value in being able to use theories
as "lenses" through which you can understand
communication, and through which you can understand
the world together with other scholars.
OBJECTIVES OF COMM3313
why and how individuals adopt and/or
maintain health‐facilitating/compromising behaviors
about the specific variables/constructs of different
theories
hands‐on practice in designing and executing
health campaign that are based on theories of
behavioral change
Assignment 2 Discussion
Overview
You will participate in a discussion activity to the sick role
model to examine a specific illness (e.g., ADHD medication
addiction, opioid
addiction, diabetes, a broken leg, or the flu). In this exercise, I
would like you to be able to apply these four specific constructs
(i.e., two rights
and two obligations) of the Sick Role model to an actual illness
and generate a complex understanding of the phenomenon of
interest. You
may want to write your answers on a word processor before
posting the answers on the forum. Let’s get started.
Assignment Description
In the last few weeks, we have discussed how people with
addictions may face unique challenges seeking support from
their social network
and the larger society. In this assignment, we will watch a video
(i.e., a lecture) on Parsons’ Sick Role and develop a deeper,
structured
understanding of a person’s illness experience.
In our readings and lectures, we have carefully examined the
different constructs held by the three theories, exploring their
similarities and
differences. Please identify a real-life health campaign and
answer the following questions.
1. First, watch the lecture on Parsons’ Sick Role:
https://youtu.be/XzEZCJnwpC4
2. Second, identify the illness of your choice and explain why
the illness is a good fit for the analysis for Parsons’ Sick Role
model.*Using
an illness you have or familiar with may help you think through
the four constructs better.
3. Using the four constructs in Parsons’ Sick Role Model (i.e.,
the two rights and two obligations) to explain how they may be
reflected or
experienced by a person with the illness of your choice.
4. Finally, based on what you have learned about the theory,
give a critical analysis reflection about the extent to which
Parsons’ Sick Role
Model is useful or not useful to understand the person’s illness
experience.
5. Word Count: I expect a word count of 800-1000.

There is value in being able to use theories as "lenses" through which you can understand communication, and through which you can understand the world together with other scholars. OBJECTIVES OF COMM3313 why and how individuals adopt and/or maintain health‐facilitating/compromising behaviors about the specific variables/constructs of different theories hands‐on practice in designing and executing health campaign that are based on theories of behavioral change Assignment 2 Discussion Overview
  • 11. You will participate in a discussion activity to the sick role model to examine a specific illness (e.g., ADHD medication addiction, opioid addiction, diabetes, a broken leg, or the flu). In this exercise, I would like you to be able to apply these four specific constructs (i.e., two rights and two obligations) of the Sick Role model to an actual illness and generate a complex understanding of the phenomenon of interest. You may want to write your answers on a word processor before posting the answers on the forum. Let’s get started. Assignment Description In the last few weeks, we have discussed how people with addictions may face unique challenges seeking support from their social network and the larger society. In this assignment, we will watch a video (i.e., a lecture) on Parsons’ Sick Role and develop a deeper, structured understanding of a person’s illness experience. In our readings and lectures, we have carefully examined the different constructs held by the three theories, exploring their similarities and differences. Please identify a real-life health campaign and answer the following questions. 1. First, watch the lecture on Parsons’ Sick Role: https://youtu.be/XzEZCJnwpC4 2. Second, identify the illness of your choice and explain why the illness is a good fit for the analysis for Parsons’ Sick Role model.*Using an illness you have or familiar with may help you think through the four constructs better.
  • 12. 3. Using the four constructs in Parsons’ Sick Role Model (i.e., the two rights and two obligations) to explain how they may be reflected or experienced by a person with the illness of your choice. 4. Finally, based on what you have learned about the theory, give a critical analysis reflection about the extent to which Parsons’ Sick Role Model is useful or not useful to understand the person’s illness experience. 5. Word Count: I expect a word count of 800-1000. Instructions https://youtu.be/XzEZCJnwpC4 Submit posts by clicking the Add new discussion topic button below.
