Background. Highly processed foods are inexpensive and abundant in our food supply, nutritionally poor, and disproportionately marketed to minority youth. This study is part of a curriculum development project to develop, implement, and evaluate the In Defense of Food (IDOF) curriculum designed to increase intake of whole/minimally processed foods and decrease intake of highly processed foods in youth. Aims. This pilot outcome evaluation was undertaken to assess initial effectiveness and to provide an in-depth understanding of changes in behavioral outcomes and psychosocial mediators. Methods. We used an explanatory mixed method approach, including a single-arm pretest–posttest of intervention effect, followed by a food rules assessment and in-depth interviews to describe participant responses to the intervention in more detail. The study was conducted in three afterschool classrooms in urban low-income neighborhoods with 32 multiethnic middle-school youth, receiving 10 weekly 2-hour sessions. Results. Two weeks postintervention, there was a large positive significant increase in whole/minimally processed food intake ( p < .01; d = 0.59) and a small decrease in consumption of highly-processed foods ( p = ns; d = 0.06), compared with baseline. Significant increases in psychosocial mediators: Self-efficacy and positive outcomes expectations were seen; others were not significant but changed in the desired direction. Qualitative assessments suggest that the intervention promoted skill building, but environmental barriers made these difficult to use. Discussion. The IDOF curriculum may be most effective for promoting consumption of fruits and vegetables, rather than decreasing intake of highly processed foods. In addition, in this young age-group, short actionable food rules may support self-regulation and behavior change. Conclusion. Among adolescent students in low-income urban neighborhoods, the IDOF afterschool curriculum may help promote self-efficacy and positive outcome expectancies and increase fruit and vegetable intake. Focusing on food processing and using “Food Rules” may be promising to elicit behavior change in youth; however, greater supports are needed to overcome social and environmental barriers.

Abstract Quantitative and qualitative evidence supported the self-regulation strategies of Selection, Optimization and Compensation (SR-SOC), used by people aging with single and multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) to adapt to chronic disabling symptoms and live well. This study investigated the SR-SOC Strategies in the self-management of community-dwelling people aging with arthritis and MCCs. 140 individuals aged &gt; 50 completed the demographic questionnaire, Functional Comorbidity Index (FCI), Brief Health Literacy Screening, Lubben Social Network Scale, Patient-Healthcare Provider Communication Scale, Health Insurance Check-list, PROMIS Adult Self-Reported Health Measures, SOC Questionnaire, Arthritis Self-Efficacy Scale, Healthcare Service Utilization Questionnaire, and a visual analogue QOL scale. With the theoretical framework, multivariate hierarchical stepwise regression was used to predict SR-SOC Strategies, arthritis self-efficacy, healthcare utilizations and QOL. Majority of the sample were female (70%), with &lt; Bachelor’s degree (56%), White (34%) or African American (33%), with personal annual income &lt; $25,000 (52%). Thirty-seven percent reported fairly and 26% poorly adequate income. Number of FCI count ranged from 2 to 14 (Mean =3.8). The top four comorbidities were obesity, diabetes, visual impairment and degenerative disc disease. QOL ranged from 0.5 to 10.0 (Mean=7.2, SD=2.2). Age, physical symptom cluster (pain, fatigue and cognitive abilities) and healthcare provider communication quality significantly predicted SR-SOC strategies. Income adequacy, physical symptom cluster and SR-SOC strategies significantly predicted arthritis self-efficacy. FCI significantly predicted healthcare utilization total, inpatient healthcare utilization, clinician visit and hospitalization. With income adequacy, FCI significantly predicted home health visit and emergency room visit. Being African American and FCI significantly predicted prescriptions filled.

The relative contributions of self-efficacy, self-regulation, and self-handicapping student procrastination were explored. College undergraduate participants ( N = 138; 40 men, 97 women, one not reporting sex) filled out the Procrastination Scale, the Self-Handicapping Scale–Short Form, and the Self-regulation and Self-handicapping scales of the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire. A hierarchical regression of the above measures indicated that self-efficacy, self-regulation, and self-handicapping all predicted scores on the Procrastination Scale, but self-regulation fully accounted for the predictive power of self-efficacy. The results suggested self-regulation and self-handicapping predict procrastination independently. These findings are discussed in relation to the literature on the concept of “self-efficacy for self-regulation” and its use in the field of procrastination research.

The relative contributions of self-efficacy, self-regulation, and self-handicapping on student procrastination were explored. College undergraduate participants (N = 138; 40 men, 97 women) filled out the Procrastination Scale, the Self-Handicapping Scale–Short Form (Strube, 1986), and the Self-Regulation and Self-Handicapping scales of the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (Pintrich &amp; De Groot, 1990). A hierarchical regression of the above measures indicated that self-efficacy, self-regulation, and self-handicapping all predicted scores on the Procrastination Scale, but self-regulation fully accounted for the predictive power of self-efficacy. The results suggested self-regulation and self-handicapping predict procrastination independently.

The paper presents the development of the Self-Change Potential questionnaire. The validation of the questionnaire was conducted in three steps. Within the first series of studies (N=248) the structure of the questionnaire was defined, the consistency of the resulting scales was checked and certain items were corrected. The construct validity of the modified version of the questionnaire was tested within the second series of studies (N=569). At the final stage (N=36) test-retest reliability was checked. The obtained Cronbach’s α coefficients (0,64—0,8) for all scales of the questionnaire and the sum score demonstrated its satisfactory consistency. All items had significant correlations with the sum score (р&lt;0,0001). To test the construct validity we used the Change Response Styles Questionnaire, the Portrait Value Questionnaire (revised version), the Style of Conscious Self-Regulation of the Behavior Questionnaire, and the Self-Efficacy Scale. Correlations with these measures confirmed the construct validity of the questionnaire. The Self-Change Potential Questionnaire can be used for assessing a person’s ability for self-changes on the various levels of mental organization, which could be consciously initiated and actualized.
