Stimulus theory
Human being responds to alteration in internal and external environment, to produce a behavior that depicts their life. Availability of cigarette to someone for a long time makes him/her become acquainted with the smoking environment thus producing a stimulus effect. This stimulus effect makes one to view smoking as the order of the day and normal activity. Therefore, at the end of the day, the environment availability of the cigarette smoking and internal vision of smoking as order of the day result to smoking.
Social cognitive theory
Provision of the basic for intervention strategies help people acquire and maintain curtain behavior patterns. The strategies emanates from observing others perform different kinds of duties one is unable to perform effectively and learn the behavior. Incase of diet change, preparation and eating the correct diet in the presence of others makes them want to give a trial to that kind of meal. This results to abandoning their later meals hence changing their diet.
Theory of planned behavior
Change of attitude and behavior helps one to change the adapted habits during lifetime. Change of attitude towards smoking and viewing it as harmful to ones health result to one quitting it. Aligning with different behaviors than the current one for an individual like controlling smoking and self efficacy as not a smoker helps one change their smoking habits (Sniehotta, 2009).
Health belief model
Making one feels that flu has a negative impact on their health and taking the shot can prevent the flue results to adherence to the shot. This can be done by assuring them that the flu shot will prevent the progression of the condition. Lastly making the patient believe that he/she can take the flu shot successfully and have no negative results to taking the shot.
The trans-theoretical model
Providing reasons to someone as to why they should change a health behavior results to desire to change the behavior. After the desire is created, preparation of the action to take results to behavior change thus, maintaining the transitions. This entails providing sufficient information on the negative behavior of the previous behavior to prevent relapse to the bad behavior (Glanz et al, 2002).
