Abstract

Dietary planning is supposed to mediate between intentions and dietary behaviors. However, if a person lacks self-efficacy, this mediation might fail. A cross-sectional study in Costa Rica and a longitudinal study in South Korea were designed to examine the moderating role of self-efficacy in the intentionplanning-behavior relationship. Intentions, planning, self-efficacy, dietary behaviors, and baseline diet were assessed. Study 1 included 245 women; Study 2 included 358 women. Moderated mediation models were specified in which planning served as a mediator between intentions and behavior. Self-efficacy was specified as a moderator of the intention-planning-behavior relationship. Intentions were translated into dietary behavior by planning. However, levels of self-efficacy moderated this mediation process: The strength of the mediated effect increased along with levels of self-efficacy, even when accounting for baseline dietary behaviors. For planning to mediate the First publ. in: Applied Psychology: Health and Well-being, 1 (2009) intention-behavior relation, people must harbor sufficient levels of selfefficacy. If they lack self-efficacy, either intentions are not well translated into planning, or planning is not well translated into behavior. Further research needs to clarify under which circumstances the moderator effect of self-efficacy operates in the first phase or the second phase of the mediation process.

Predicting the consumption of foods low in saturated fats among people diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The role of planning in the theory of planned behaviour

“…According to Norman and Conner (2005), there is some evidence to suggest that the impact of intentions on behaviour can be mediated by the extent to which one undertakes sufficient planning (see also Gutiérrez-Doña et al, 2009;Jones et al, 2001;Luszczynska & Schwarzer, 2003;van Osch et al, 2009). The results of the present study revealed that planning mediated the impact of both intention and PBC on the reported intake of foods low in saturated fats.…”

“…In addition, Norman and Conner found some evidence to suggest that the impact of intentions on behaviour may be mediated by the extent to which one undertakes planning activities (see also Gutiérrez-Doña, Lippke, Renner, Kwon, & Schwarzer, 2009;Jones, Abraham, Harris, Schulz, & Chrispin, 2001;Luszczynska & Schwarzer, 2003;van Osch, Beenackers, Reubsaet, Lechner, Candel & de Vries, 2009) .…”

Comparative optimism about healthy eating

“…On the other hand, actual healthy eating was translated into these self-perceptions. As previous studies have shown that past behavior is related to intention and subsequent behavior (e.g., Conner, Norman, & Bell, 2002;Gutierrez-Dona, Lippke, Renner, Kwon, & Schwarzer, 2009;Houben, Nederkoorn, & Jansen, 2012), it might have been actual eating behavior, mirrored in people's self-perception, which led to higher intention and subsequent healthy eating behavior.…”

Evaluación Psicométrica De Una Escala De Autoeficacia De La Conducta Alimentaria

“…Por ejemplo, la autoeficacia modera la ingesta de alimentos saludables en adolescentes (23). Gutiérrez, Lippke, Renner, Kwon y Schwarzer (24), mencionan que la autoeficacia es un factor relevante en el proceso de cambio de conductas saludables, al predecir en este caso la adherencia a una dieta baja en calorías en mujeres.…”

“…Los rubros que cubre el instrumento son: la autoeficacia para disminuir el consumo de alimentos altos en grasa, capacidad para elegir alimentos saludables, disminuir el consumo de alimentos dulces y el cambio de bebidas endulzadas, que constituyen cuatro aspectos que se han reportado en la literatura como característicos del consumo alimenticio (31,35,37,43,44,46,49). La obtención de estas dimensiones aporta evidencia a la integración de la teoría social cognoscitiva y la autoeficacia (1,3,4,30), al vincularla con comportamientos saludables (11,21,24,31) lo que permite aumentar la evidencia empírica existente respecto a que la autoeficacia puede ser aplicada para comprender y explicar el rol que tiene en los patrones alimenticios. Además la autoeficacia alimentaria con los cuatro factores aquí encontrados, permite distinguir en la muestra de mexicanos la posible adopción de hábitos de alimentación que afectan su salud, así como la capacidad de realizar y mantener comportamientos alimenticios sanos al ejecutar acciones para tener un estilo de vida saludable.…”
