“…Moreover, the established model describes the conditional indirect effect of normative support on the outcome: the mechanism through which normative support exerts its effect on flossing is dependent on the value of action control. Simultaneous examination of both conscious and nonconscious processes (see Strack & Deutsch, 2004) on dental hygiene behaviour, indeed health behaviour in general, is therefore an important line of investigation that future research should embrace (Arnautovska, Fleig, O'Callaghan & Hamilton, 2017;Hamilton, Kirkpatrick, Rebar & Hagger, 2017;Hagger, Trost, Keech, Chan & Hamilton, 2017;Kremers et al, 2006;Mullan et al, 2016).…”

We investigated the role of normative support, behavioural automaticity, and action control in predicting dental flossing behaviour. Between May and October 2015, 629 Australian young adults completed a questionnaire assessing constructs of normative support and automaticity, and a 2-week follow-up of dental flossing behaviour and action control, resulting in n = 241 persons for longitudinal analysis. Findings supported the hypotheses that the effect of normative support on behaviour would be mediated via automaticity, and the effect of automaticity would be moderated by action control. Current results extend previous research to elucidate the mechanisms that help to understand predictors of oral hygiene behaviours and contribute to the cumulative evidence concerning self-regulatory and automatic components of health behaviour.

“…Nevertheless, effect sizes of the salient predictors on behavior have been modest, with substantive variance in behavior remaining unexplained. Furthermore, there is evidence that measures reflecting factors related to nonconscious, automatic processes such as past behavior and self-reported habit and automaticity account for substantive variance in health behavior independent of the constructs from social cognitive and motivational theories (Allom, Mullan, Cowie, & Hamilton, 2016;Arnautovska, Fleig, O'Callaghan, & Hamilton, 2017;Gardner, 2015).…”

Predicting sugar consumption: Application of an integrated dual-process, dual-phase model

Excess consumption of added dietary sugars is related to multiple metabolic problems and adverse health conditions. Identifying the modifiable social cognitive and motivational constructs that predict sugar consumption is important to inform behavioral interventions aimed at reducing sugar intake. We tested the efficacy of an integrated dual-process, dual-phase model derived from multiple theories to predict sugar consumption. Using a prospective design, university students (N = 90) completed initial measures of the reflective (autonomous and controlled motivation, intentions, attitudes, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control), impulsive (implicit attitudes), volitional (action and coping planning), and behavioral (past sugar consumption) components of the proposed model. Self-reported sugar consumption was measured two weeks later. A structural equation model revealed that intentions, implicit attitudes, and, indirectly, autonomous motivation to reduce sugar consumption had small, significant effects on sugar consumption. Attitudes, subjective norm, and, indirectly, autonomous motivation to reduce sugar consumption predicted intentions. There were no effects of the planning constructs. Model effects were independent of the effects of past sugar consumption. The model identified the relative contribution of reflective and impulsive components in predicting sugar consumption. Given the prominent role of the impulsive component, interventions that assist individuals in managing cues-to-action and behavioral monitoring are likely to be effective in regulating sugar consumption.

“…It is characterized not only by the automaticity of the behaviour but also by repetition whenever the environmental context appears and by the individual's high identification with the behaviour (Lally & Gardner, 2013; Verplanken & Orbell, 2003). Recent studies have showed that the conscious and non‐conscious processes are working in parallel, so that the influence of intention on actual physical activity exists only when a habit is weak and not in the case when it is strong (Arnautovska, Fleig, O’Callaghan, & Hamilton, 2017; Gardner, de Bruijn, & Lally, 2011; Maher & Conroy, 2016). Following these findings, analysing the two processes separately seems warranted.…”

Aims:To examine the dual process of physical activity adoption among nurses and its relationships with two personal orientations-regulatory focus-the tendency to focus on promotion (vs. prevention) goals and time preference as measured by delay discounting: the tendency to overvalue immediate rewards over long-term ones. Background:The dual process theory suggests that both conscious and non-conscious processes influence the adoption of physical activity. However, the role of regulatory focus and time preference in this process was not yet examined. Design: A cross-sectional online survey among 143 nurses during August-November 2017.Methods: Validated measures were used to estimate physical activity habit strength (a non-conscious process) and intention, planning and behaviour control (conscious processes), physical activity level, regulatory focus and time preference. Multivariable ordered logit and logistic models were specified to examine determinants of both processes.Results: Promotion focus was positively associated with having a strong habit of physical activity among nurses with moderate-to-low activity levels, but it was negatively associated with habit for active nurses. As for time preference, higher delay discounting was negatively associated with nurses' conscious intention to adopt physical activity and with their action planning. Conclusion: Promotion focus and time preference are associated with both conscious and non-conscious processes of physical activity adoption among nurses and should be considered in future health promotion interventions targeted to this population. Impact: Promotion focus and time preference have a significant role in this dual process. Enhancing physical activity of health providers by adjusting the intervention to personal orientations may improve public health.

A longitudinal investigation of older adults’ physical activity: Testing an integrated dual-process model

Abstract: By investigating an integration of conscious and non-conscious processes, this study provides a novel understanding of older adults' PA. Interventions aiming to promote PA behaviour of older adults should target the combination of psychological processes.
