Behavioral Change Name: Institution: Course: Date: Executive Summary The paper discusses some of the main models and theories that are crucial to the understanding of behavioral changes within the community, individual and the society. The social cognitive theory suggests that people are driven outside forces other than those from within them. According to the theory human functions can be established along their interaction with the environment, personal and behavioral factors. The health belief model basically tries to explain the way the society behaves with the reference to certain changes. The transtheoretical model, tries to establish the various levels of change within individuals in the community. Theory of reasoned action 128654066453General DescriptionAccording to the social cognitive theory, people are not driven by forces within them but by those from without. Ideally the theory suggests, the human functions can be explained using three main interactions, that is, the behavior, personal factors and environmental. This is referred to as reciprocal determinism (Utwente.nl, 2016). 0General DescriptionAccording to the social cognitive theory, people are not driven by forces within them but by those from without.

As such most of the aspects of the theory are not connected. Given the fact that the theory is too broad, not all the components are well understood and integrated with reference to learning as well as personality (Utwente.nl, 2016). 0WeaknessesOne of the criticisms of the theory is the fact that it is not a unified theory.
