Practice question · Select all that apply
Select every statement that is TRUE about health belief models.
Hints
- Two options overstate one belief or misassign a component.
- Severity alone is not enough, and cues to action belong to the HBM, not the TPB.
Show the answer
- A. The Health Belief Model includes perceived barriers.
- B. Simply informing people rarely changes behavior on its own.
- D. Cues to action are what turn a settled belief into an actual appointment.
Why
Intention as direct predictor, perceived barriers, and information-alone rarely working are all true. Perceived severity alone does not reliably drive behavior, and cues to action are an HBM (not TPB) component - so those two are false.
