According to the Health Promotion Model, individuals are more likely to engage in a behavior if they perceive benefits from it, have confidence in their ability to perform the behavior (self-efficacy), and perceive that the behavior will not have negative consequences. The 24-year-old female who is anxious to begin exercising with her husband is more likely to have a higher level of self-efficacy and perceive benefits from regular exercise, which increases the likelihood of initiating and consistently participating in exercise. The other choices either have low self-efficacy, questionable perception of benefits, or potential negative consequences (in the case of the overweight female who has never exercised).
