Environmental Theories of
Health Behavior Change
What is a Social/Environmental
Context?
•The frame that you place your life
picture
•The forces that influence the way in
which you develop
•The backdrop for the development of
your unique set of beliefs, attitudes
and behaviors

Critique of SCT
• Very Complex

emphasis on behavioral variants to selfefficacy
Social Network Theory (SNT)
• Individual personal characteristics are not
so important to understanding behavior
• What is important is what occurs between
people that is important
– Friendships
– Family connections
– Professional relationships
SNT Issues
• Who is in a person’s network
• The frequency of interactions between people in
the network
• The types of interactions between people in the
network
• Differences in relational roles
– Leaders
– Followers
– Planners
• Are there groups or cliques that control the
social network?
Network Qualities
• Centrality vs. marginality of individuals in
the network
• Reciprocity of relationships
• Complexity or intensity of relationships
• Homogeneity or diversity of the people in
the network
• Communication patterns in the network
