Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Severity, or the perceived severity of a potential health issue, is often a poorer predictor of health behaviors compared to factors like self-efficacy (belief in one's ability to take action), perceived barriers (obstacles to engaging in a health behavior), and perceived susceptibility (belief about the likelihood of getting a disease or condition). This is because even if individuals believe a health issue is severe, this alone may not motivate behavior change if they do not feel capable of changing, do not believe they are at risk, or see too many barriers to taking action.
