SELF-EFFICACY AND CONTROL LOCATION AS THE RESOURCES DETERMINING HEALTH-RELATED BEHAVIORS

Summary/Abstract: Health resources (potentials) can be defined as specific functional properties of a person and his/her environment, acting as the regulatory and health prevention. Increasingly, the attention is drawn to the need of multiplying health resources and protecting them for a lifetime. Linking health with lifestyle requires providing the individual with the help of modifying individual behavior patterns and shaping a pro-health lifestyle based on conscious undertaking of specific activities that increase the resources of one's own health and eliminate threats. The key role in this process is attributed to cognitive predictors, such as the sense of location of control and belief in self-efficacy.
