Male High School

The most critical step in developing and implementing effective physical activity interventions is to understand the determinants and correlates of physical activity, and it is strongly suggested that such effort should be based on theories. The purpose of this study is to test the direct, indirect, and total effect of social cognitive theory constructs on physical activity among Korean male high-school students. Three-hundred and forty-one 10th-grade male students were recruited from a private single-sex high school located in Seoul, South Korea. Structural equation modeling was used to test the expected relationships among the latent variables. The proposed model accounted for 42% of the variance in physical activity. Self-efficacy had the strongest total effect on physical activity. Self-efficacy for being physically active was positively associated with physical activity ( p < .01). Self-efficacy also had positive indirect effects on physical activity through perceived benefits ( p < .05) and goal setting ( p < .01). The results of this study indicated that the social cognitive theory is a useful framework to understand physical activity among Korean male adolescents. Physical activity interventions targeting Korean male high-school students should focus on the major sources of efficacy.

Study Inclusion

Objectives of this review are to identify effective factors of interventions using the Social Cognitive Theory to increase fruit and vegetable (FV) intake among children and to develop strategies for program development based on the interventions reviewed. Articles were obtained from multiple databases; study inclusion criteria were publication in years 1998-2008 and utilization of Social Cognitive Theory to increase FV intake among children primarily 6-11 years old. Creative informational components delivered in non-traditional fashions, inclusion of role-models, and promotion of activities for bolstering self-management skills and self-efficacy were often incorporated in interventions. FV intake programs were child-focused, multi-component interventions utilizing SCT; such interventions have been modestly successful in increasing FV intake among children.
