“…This definition of Confidence suggests that this construct is closely related to Bandura's construct, self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is one of the most frequently studied aspects of smoking behavior, with several investigators finding it to improve the prospect for permanent cessation (Baer, Holt, & Lichtenstein, 1986;Colletti & Kopel, 1979;DiClemente, Prochaska, & Gilbertini, 1985;Lawrance & Rubinson, 1986). The results of this study corroborate these findings.…”

A follow-up study of 263 volunteers who had completed a national smoking cessation program was conducted to measure the relative contribution of stress coping resources, smoking history, loci, for health control, and certain demographic factors to the maintenance of smoking cessation. Stress coping resources and smoking history variables proved to be more predictive of the maintenance of abstinence than either perceived locus of control or demographic variables. Coping resources in the forms of perceived confidence, physical health, physical fitness, problem solving, self-directedness, and tension control were useful in predicting abstinence maintenance. Contrary to some earlier studies, no gender differences in relapse rates were found, and smoking a greater number of cigarettes daily and smoking cigarettes with a higher tar content were related to greater success in maintaining smoking abstinence. As was found in previous studies, the presence of other smokers in the household contributed to relapse.

“…Research has demonstrated that individuals’ self-attribution of responsibility is related to health behaviors such as mammography utilization (Rothman, et al,, 1993), fruit and vegetable consumption (Williams-Piehota, Cox, Silvera, Mowad, Garcia, et al, 2004), blood pressure screening (King, 1982), and smoking cessation (Colletti & Kopel, 1979). A more recent study, however, found that PR was not a significant predictor for many health-related behaviors, such as breast self-examination, dietary habits, medical checkups, alcohol intake, and exercise (Ziff, Conrad, & Lachman, 1995).…”

Mothers' Intentions to Teach Adolescent Daughters about Breast Cancer Risk Reduction Activities: The Influence of Self-Efficacy, Response Efficacy, and Personal Responsibility

The current study examined whether self-efficacy (SE), response efficacy (RE), and personal responsibility (PR) affect mothers’ intentions (N=139) to teach their adolescent and pre-adolescent daughters about breast cancer risk reduction measures such as maintaining a healthy diet, exercising on a regular basis, and avoiding chemical exposures. Results showed that both SE and RE were related to mothers’ intentions to teach their daughters how to maintain a healthy diet, engage in regular exercise behavior, and avoid chemical exposures. However, PR was not related to any behavioral intention. Implications for breast cancer message development for communication campaigns are discussed.

“…Goal monitoring is important for two reasons: (1) It determines consumers' perceptions of how close or far they are from the goal, which influences goal motivation and commitment and thus continued goal pursuit (Bandura 1989;Bonezzi, Brendl, and De Angelis 2011;Kivetz, Urminsky, and Zheng 2006;Koo and Fishbach 2012); (2) goal monitoring helps consumers assess whether or not they are making adequate progress, such that they can decide if there is a need to adjust their behavior in order to reach their goals (Carver andScheier 1982, 1998). Consequently, active goal monitoring can increase success in goal pursuit (Colletti and Kopel 1979;Polivy et al 1986), although monitoring alone does not ensure goal attainment (Baumeister and Heatherton 1996).…”

“…Although research has investigated the effect of perceived distance from a goal (an outcome of goal monitoring) on subsequent motivation (e.g., Bonezzi et al 2011;Koo and Fishbach 2012) and the effect of whether or not consumers actively engage in goal monitoring (Colletti and Kopel 1979;Polivy et al 1986), surprisingly little is known about whether consumers accurately monitor the impact of their behaviors on movement toward or away from their goals (Baumgartner and Pieters 2008;Huang, Zhang, and Broniarcyzk 2012;Vohs et al 2008). Our research addresses this gap by examining how consumers monitor the impact of behaviors that move them toward their goals (i.e., goalconsistent behaviors) relative to behaviors that move them further from their goals (i.e., goal-inconsistent behaviors).…”

The Progress Bias in Goal Pursuit: When One Step Forward Seems Larger than One Step Back

Consumers often pursue goals (e.g., losing weight) where the chance of attaining the goal increases with some behaviors (e.g., exercise) but decreases with others (e.g., eating). Although goal monitoring is known to be a critical step in self-control for successful goal pursuit, little research investigates whether consumers accurately monitor goal progress. Seven experiments demonstrate that consumers tend to show a progress bias in goal monitoring, perceiving that goal-consistent behaviors (e.g., saving $45) help progress more than goal-inconsistent behaviors of the equivalent size (e.g., spending $45) hurt it. Expectations of goal attainment moderate the progress bias; reducing the expectation that the goal will be reached reduces the tendency to perceive goal-consistent behaviors to have a larger impact on goal progress than equivalent goal-inconsistent behaviors. A study on exercise and eating shows that although the progress bias can increase initial goal persistence, it can also lead to premature goal release due to poor calibration of overall progress.
