Feedback:
Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1985, 2001), which is sometimes called self-efficacy theory, offers an explanation of human behavior using the concepts of self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and incentives. Becker's Health Belief Model (HBM) is a framework for explaining people's health-related behavior, such as health-care use and compliance with a medical regimen. Nola Pender's (2006) Health Promotion Model (HPM) focuses on explaining health-promoting behaviors, using a wellness orientation. Mishel's Uncertainty in Illness Theory (Mishel, 1990) focuses on the concept of uncertainty—the inability of a person to determine the meaning of illness-related events.
