    Health Action Process Approach

    Explanation:

    The health action process approach a sequence of two continuous self-regulatory processes. It has a goal-setting phase (motivation) and a goal-pursuit phase (volition); the second phase is subdivided into a pre-action phase and an action phase. Motivational self-efficacy, outcome-expectancies and risk perceptions (in this case Harold's situation) are assumed to be predictors of intentions. The predictive effect of motivational self-efficacy on behaviour is recovery self-efficacy, and the effects of intentions are assumed to be mediated by planning. The latter processes refer to the volitional phase of the model.
