Background: Eating a diet that is high in vitamins and low in fat is considered to be governed by social-cognitive factors, such as intentions, planning, self-efficacy, and outcome expectancies. Purpose: A longitudinal field study was designed to examine the interrelationships of these factors with dietary behaviors. Method: In 697 South Korean men and women, objective health-risk status was assessed at Time 1 (cholesterol, blood pressure, and body mass index) in conjunction with self-efficacy…

Proactive coping moderates the dietary intention–planning–behavior path

Psychological predictors of the combined adoption of physical exercise and dietary change among adults with hypercholesterolemia.

The interplay of intention, autonomy, and sex with dietary planning: A conditional process model to predict fruit and vegetable intake.

Intention and planning are key predictors of dietary change, however, these variables work better under specific conditions (with a sufficient level of autonomy), and differently in subgroups (men vs. women).

Specific psychological variables predict quality of diet in women of lower, but not higher, educational attainment

Planning and self-efficacy can increase fruit and vegetable consumption: a randomized controlled trial

A social-cognitive intervention to improve fruit and vegetable consumption was superior to a knowledge-based education session and self-efficacy and planning seem to play a major role in the mechanisms that facilitate dietary changes.

Positive Self-perceptions of Aging Promote Healthy Eating Behavior Across the Life Span via Social-Cognitive Processes.

Important insights are provided into the mechanisms behind positive SPA fueling successful health behavior change dynamics and how addressing SPA already in younger ages might help establish health-promoting life-span dynamics.

Sex differential mediation effects of planning within the health behavior change process.

Testing phase-specific self-efficacy beliefs in the context of dietary behaviour change.

Evidence is provided for the phase-specific distinction of self-efficacy in the context of dietary change in an overweight or obese sample and differentiating between motivational and volitional self- efficacy beliefs should be considered when developing future interventions of dietary changes.

Examining Constructs of Parental Reflective Motivation towards Reducing Unhealthy Food Provision to Young Children

An initial insight into parental motivation is provided and primary intervention targets to enhance parental motivation to reduce unhealthy food provision, and subsequently children’s unhealthy food intake are identified.

The authors hypothesized that optimistic self-beliefs operate in 2 phases and made a distinction between action self-efficacy (preintention) and coping self- efficacy (postintention), which differed between samples; the importance of perceived Selfefficacy increased with age and weight.

Limitations in the conceptualization, scope, and measurement of the variables assessed may have contributed to the weak associations observed and models incorporating factors other than individual-level social-cognitive variables may be required to more fully explain children's dietary behavior.
