Selbstregulation in der Gesundheitsverhaltensänderung

Strategienutzung und Bewältigungsplanung im jungen, mittleren und höheren Alter

Published Online:September 01, 2006https://doi.org/10.1026/0943-8149.14.2.82

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. Die vorliegende Arbeit verfolgt zwei Ziele und untersucht drei Forschungsfragen: Es wird zunächst geprüft, wie wirksam zwei Arten einer Planungsintervention sind, die die körperliche Aktivität verbessern sollen. In diesem Zusammenhang wird ein Ratingsystem vorgestellt, mit dem die Pläne eingeschätzt werden, die im Rahmen der Intervention erzeugt wurden. Dieses Ratingsystem beruht auf der Theorie der Selektion, Optimierung und Kompensation (SOK). Das zweite Ziel liegt in der Entwicklung eines Fragebogenverfahrens, welches SOK-Strategien für den Bereich der körperlichen Aktivität erfasst. Dies erlaubt die Untersuchung des Zusammenspiels von selbstberichteter Bewältigungsplanung und SOK-Strategienutzung (Forschungsfrage 3). Interviewergestützte Planung erweist sich gegenüber der selbstständigen Planung als überlegen, wenn man als Kriterium die spätere tatsächliche Ausführung der Pläne zur körperlichen Aktivität wählt (Forschungsfrage 2). Altersgruppenspezifische Befunde zur Planung (Forschungsfrage 1) liefern Ansätze für altersspezifische Interventionen.


Self-regulation in health behavior change: Strategy use and coping planning in young, middle, and older age groups

Abstract. The study has two aims, and it addresses three research questions: The first aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of two planning interventions for increasing physical activity. For this evaluation, a newly developed rating system quantifies the characteristics of the plans that were generated through the intervention. This rating system is based on the theory of selection, optimization, and compensation (SOC). Second, we developed a questionnaire to assess SOC strategy use in the domain of physical activity. This allows the study of the interplay between self-reported coping planning and SOC strategy use (Research Question 3). Interviewer-assisted planning is superior to self-administered planning when subsequent enactment of plans to be physically active is chosen as an outcome (Research Question 2). Age-specific findings on planning (Research Question 1) may result in innovative approaches for age-specific interventions.
