Validity of stage assessment in the adoption and maintenance of physical activity and fruit and vegetable consumption.

Journal ArticleDOI

Ralf Schwarzer,Bernard Weiner +1 more

Journal ArticleDOI
Stage-specific adoption and maintenance of physical activity: testing a three-stage model
TL;DR: In this article, a parsimonious three-stage model of health behavior change that makes a distinction between nonintenders, intenders, and actors in terms of physical activity was examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does age make a difference? Predicting physical activity of South Koreans.

Journal ArticleDOI
A brief intervention changing oral self-care, self-efficacy, and self-monitoring
TL;DR: The intervention led to an increase in dental flossing regardless of experimental condition, but treatment-specific gains were documented for self-efficacy and self-monitoring, and changes in the latter two served as mediators in a path model, linking the intervention with subsequent dental flOSSing and yielding significant indirect effects.
