“…For example, using simultaneous regression analyses, Lawton et al (2009) found that affective and instrumental attitudes were separate significant predictors of intentions to perform 11 different health behaviors, including alcohol consumption, flossing, and sunscreen use. Similarly, Murray et al (2019) recently found that affective associations with physical activity and perceived barriers to physical activity were separate and simultaneous predictors of physical activity in cancer survivors. Interestingly, in these studies, the affect variables were generally a stronger predictor of health intentions and behavior than the cognitive variables.…”

Handwashing is important in preventing infectious diseases like COVID-19. The current public health emergency has required rapid implementation of increased handwashing in the general public; however, rapidly changing health behavior, especially on this scale, is difficult. This study considers attitudes and affective responses to handwashing as possible factors predicting COVID-19 related changes to handwashing behavior, future intentions, and readiness to change during the early stages of the pandemic in the United States. Income was explored as a potential moderator to these relationships. To explore these issues, data from 344 community participants were analyzed. Results indicate that stronger affective responses toward handwashing relate to increases in handwashing since the outbreak of COVID-19, and both attitudes and affect uniquely predict handwashing intentions. Income significantly moderated the relationship between affect and readiness to change. Those with low income were more influenced by both affective responses and attitudes. These results suggest messages targeting both cognitions and affective responses are needed to increase the handwashing behavior during a global pandemic and these variables are critical in increasing readiness to change in low-income individuals.

Background Physical activity (PA) is a non-pharmacological approach to optimize health benefits in cancer survivors and is recommended as part of care. However, most cancer survivors fail to meet PA recommendations. The current systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to identify psychosocial correlates of free-living PA in cancer survivors. Methods Three electronic databases were searched (PubMed, PsycINFO, and SportDiscus). Meta-analyses were conducted for psychosocial correlates tested ≥ 3 times. Results Sixty-four articles were included. Eighty-eight different free-living PA correlates were identified. Meta-analyses (n = 32 studies) tested 23 PA correlates, of which 16 were significant (p < 0.05). Larger effect sizes (0.30 < ES > 0.45) were found for exercise self-efficacy, perceived behavioral control, intention, lower perceived barriers for exercise, enjoyment, perceived PA benefits, and attitudes. Small-to-moderate effects (0.18 < ES < 0.22) were found for subjective norms, physical functioning, quality of life, depression, and mental health. These findings were generally in line with narrative results. Conclusions This systematic review highlights important psychosocial correlates of free-living PA that can be targeted in future PA promotion interventions for cancer survivors. Constructs mainly from SCT and TPB were the most studied and appear to be associated with free-living PA in this population. However, we cannot currently assert which frameworks might be more effective. Further studies of better methodological quality, per correlate and theory, exploring longer-term associations and across different types of cancer, are needed. Implications for Cancer Survivors Having higher exercise self-efficacy, perceived behavioral control, intention, enjoyment and perceived PA benefits, more positive attitudes towards PA, and lower perceived barriers for exercise, can help increase PA in cancer survivors.

“…This contrasts with prototypical measures of affective judgments, which include two evaluative poles within the same scaling. While there has been a limited volume of research using affective associations in health behavior, the current research has been applied to several different health behaviors including but not limited to physical activity (e.g., Murray et al, 2020), healthy eating (e.g., Walsh and Kiviniemi, 2014;Geers et al, 2017), health screening (e.g., Klasko-Foster et al, 2019), health self-examination (Brown-Kramer and Kiviniemi, 2015), smoking (e.g., Schutte and Marks, 2013), and condom use (e.g., Ellis et al, 2018).…”

Research on affect-related constructs as determinants of health behavior is increasing. The Affect and Health Behavior Framework (AHBF) provides a schematic structure to label, organize, and integrate affect-related constructs. To further facilitate research and theory development in health behavior science, the purpose of the present paper is to provide a critical review and guidelines for assessment of the affect-related constructs in the AHBF. The paper is organized based on the categories of constructs in the AHBF: Affective response to health behavior, incidental affect, affect processing, and affectively charged motivation. Future research should work toward parsing constructs where possible as well as identifying overlap. Researchers are advised to consider conceptual underpinnings and methodological nuances when assessing affect-related constructs in order to build a cumulative science of affective determinants of health behavior.
