What is the best way to change self-efficacy to promote lifestyle and recreational physical activity? A systematic review with meta-analysis.
TLDR
Interventions that included feedback on past or others' performance produced the highest levels of self-efficacy found in this review, forming an evidence base for which psychological techniques are most effective in increasing self-efficiency for physical activity.Abstract:
Purpose Increasing self-efficacy is an effective method to increase physical activity Despite this, the evidence concerning the most effective techniques to increase self-efficacy in physical activity interventions has not been systematically reviewed The aim of the present research is to systematically gather, and meta-analyse, intervention studies which aimed to increase self-efficacy for physical activity; to estimate the association between intervention techniques used, and change in self-efficacy achieved
Methods A systematic database search was conducted for papers reporting lifestyle or recreational physical activity interventions Published intervention studies explicitly targeting self-efficacy in order to change physical activity behaviour in ‘healthy’ adults were eligible for inclusion
Results The search strategy identified 27 unique physical activity intervention studies, with a total of 5,501 participants A significant, yet small, relationship between the interventions and changes in self-efficacy was found (mean d =016, p <001) Owing to significant heterogeneity, moderator analyses were conducted, examining the association of changes in self-efficacy with whether or not specific intervention techniques were used Interventions that included feedback on past or others' performance produced the highest levels of self-efficacy found in this review Vicarious experience was also associated with higher levels of self-efficacy Persuasion, graded mastery, and barrier identification were associated with lower levels of self-efficacy
Conclusions This meta-analysis forms an evidence base for which psychological techniques are most effective in increasing self-efficacy for physical activity The results are presented in terms of recommendations for those developing interventions and directions for future researchread more

Psychological correlates of university students' academic performance: a systematic review and meta-analysis
TL;DR: A review of 13 years of research into antecedents of university students' grade point average (GPA) scores generated a comprehensive, conceptual map of known correlates of tertiary GPA; assessment of the magnitude of average, weighted correlations with GPA; and tests of multivariate models of GPA correlates within and across research domains.

A refined taxonomy of behaviour change techniques to help people change their physical activity and healthy eating behaviours: the CALO-RE taxonomy.

TL;DR: This taxonomy can be used to improve the specification of interventions in published reports, thus improving replication, implementation and evidence syntheses and will strengthen the scientific study of behaviour change and intervention development.

What are the most effective intervention techniques for changing physical activity self-efficacy and physical activity behaviour—and are they the same?
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of physical activity intervention studies for 'healthy' adults found that 'action planning', 'provide instruction' and 'reinforcing effort towards behaviour' were associated with significantly higher levels of both self-efficacy and physical activity.

What are the most effective techniques in changing obese individuals’ physical activity self-efficacy and behaviour: a systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: A non-significant relationship was found between change in self-efficacy and change in physical activity (Spearman’s Rho”= −0.18 p =0.72) and the majority of techniques increased physical activity behaviour, without having discernible effects on self- efficacy.

Behavior Change Techniques Implemented in Electronic Lifestyle Activity Monitors: A Systematic Content Analysis
TL;DR: Electronic activity monitors contain a wide range of behavior change techniques typically used in clinical behavioral interventions, and may represent a medium by which these interventions could be translated for widespread use.

The theory of planned behavior
TL;DR: Ajzen, 1985, 1987, this article reviewed the theory of planned behavior and some unresolved issues and concluded that the theory is well supported by empirical evidence and that intention to perform behaviors of different kinds can be predicted with high accuracy from attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; and these intentions, together with perceptions of behavioral control, account for considerable variance in actual behavior.

Self-efficacy: toward a unifying theory of behavioral change.
TL;DR: An integrative theoretical framework to explain and to predict psychological changes achieved by different modes of treatment is presented and findings are reported from microanalyses of enactive, vicarious, and emotive mode of treatment that support the hypothesized relationship between perceived self-efficacy and behavioral changes.
