  • Predicting heavy episodic drinking using an extended temporal self-Regulation Theory
    Addictive behaviors, 2017
    Co-Authors: Nicola Black, Barbara Mullan, Louise Sharpe
    Abstract:

    Abstract Introduction: Alcohol consumption contributes significantly to the global burden from disease and injury, and specific patterns of heavy episodic drinking contribute uniquely to this burden. Temporal self-Regulation Theory and the dual-process model describe similar theoretical constructs that might predict heavy episodic drinking. The aims of this study were to test the utility of temporal self-Regulation Theory in predicting heavy episodic drinking, and examine whether the theoretical relationships suggested by the dual-process model significantly extend temporal self-Regulation Theory. Methods: This was a predictive study with 149 Australian adults. Measures were questionnaires (self-report habit index, cues to action scale, purpose-made intention questionnaire, timeline follow-back questionnaire) and executive function tasks (Stroop, Tower of London, operation span). Participants completed measures of theoretical constructs at baseline and reported their alcohol consumption two weeks later. Data were analysed using hierarchical multiple linear regression. Results: Temporal self-Regulation Theory significantly predicted heavy episodic drinking ( R 2  = 48.0–54.8%, p R 2  = 4.5%, p  = 0.001) but not peak consumption (Δ R 2  = 1.4%, p  = 0.181). Intention and behavioural prepotency directly predicted heavy episodic drinking ( p p

  • Predicting heavy episodic alcohol drinking using an extended temporal self-Regulation Theory
    The European health psychologist, 2016
    Co-Authors: Nicola Black, Barbara Mullan, Louise Sharpe
    Abstract:

    Background: Heavy episodic alcohol drinking is a health-risk behaviour that can increase the short-term risk of injury and long-term risk of non-communicable diseases. Temporal self-Regulation Theory and dual-process models describe similar theoretical constructs that might predict heavy episodic drinking. Aim: To test an extended temporal self-Regulation Theory in the prediction of heavy episodic drinking. The hypothesised extension was that executive function would moderate the behavioural prepotency-behaviour relationship, as suggested by dual-process models. Design: Predictive study. Participants: 149 Australian adults (mean age = 26 years; 66% women). Measures: Questionnaires (self-report habit index, cues to action scale, purpose-made intention questionnaire, timeline follow-back questionnaire) and executive function tasks (Stroop, Tower of London, Operation Span). Procedure: Participants completed measures of theoretical constructs at baseline and reported their alcohol consumption two weeks later. Analyses: Hierarchical multiple linear regression. Findings: Temporal self-Regulation Theory significantly predicted heavy episodic drinking (R2 = 58-59%, p < .001) and the hypothesised extension significantly improved the prediction (ΔR2 = 1-4%, p < .05). Intention, behavioural prepotency, planning ability and inhibitory control directly predicted heavy episodic drinking (p < .05). Planning ability moderated the intention-behaviour relationship and inhibitory control moderated the behavioural prepotency-behaviour relationship (p < .05). Behavioural prepotency did not significantly moderate the intention-behaviour relationship and working memory capacity demonstrated no significant, direct or moderating relationships. Discussion: The extended temporal self-Regulation Theory provides good prediction of heavy episodic drinking. Intention, behavioural prepotency, planning ability and inhibitory control may be good targets for interventions designed to decrease heavy episodic drinking.

  • Using the temporal self-Regulation Theory to examine the influence of environmental cues on maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
    British journal of health psychology, 2012
    Co-Authors: Liesel Booker, Barbara Mullan
    Abstract:

    Objectives. The aim of the current study is to explore the predictive utility of the temporal self-Regulation Theory (TST) for maintaining a healthy lifestyle (Hall & Fong, 2007, Health Psychology Review, 1, 6). According to TST, the influence of intention, selfRegulation, and behavioural prepotency differs depending on the environmental context in which the behaviour is performed. This study examined the influence of perceptions about the supportiveness of the environmental context on TST-related factors. Design. Temporal self-Regulation Theory was tested using a prospective design with a 1-week follow-up. Methods. One hundred and fifty-two undergraduates were administered three executive functioning tasks and an online questionnaire regarding their intentions to maintain a healthy lifestyle, environmental responsiveness, and previous behaviour. One week later, they completed a follow-up questionnaire. Results. Participants who were supported by the environment were significantly more likelytomaintainahealthylifestylethanthosedistractedbytheenvironment.Behavioural prepotency was significantly predictive of behaviour performance for ‘supported’ participants. Behavioural prepotency, planning, and response inhibition were significantly predictive of ‘unsupported’ participants’ behaviour. Conclusions. These findings provided preliminary support for the use of TST for the prediction of healthy lifestyle behaviour. Importantly, this study provided support for the contention that the influence of TST-related factors would vary according to the perceived supportiveness of the environment. These findings suggest that environmental responsiveness may be an important determinant to close the intention–behaviour gap for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

  • Hygienic food handling behaviors: attempting to bridge the intention-behavior gap using aspects from temporal self-Regulation Theory.
    Journal of food protection, 2011
    Co-Authors: Elizabeth Fulham, Barbara Mullan
    Abstract:

    An estimated 25% of the populations of both the United States and Australia suffer from foodborne illness every year, generally as a result of incorrect food handling practices. The aim of the current study was to determine through the application of the Theory of planned behavior what motivates these behaviors and to supplement the model with two aspects of temporal self-Regulation Theory--behavioral prepotency and executive function--in an attempt to bridge the "intention-behavior gap." A prospective 1-week design was utilized to investigate the prediction of food hygiene using the Theory of planned behavior with the additional variables of behavioral prepotency and executive function. One hundred forty-nine undergraduate psychology students completed two neurocognitive executive function tasks and a self-report questionnaire assessing Theory of planned behavior variables, behavioral prepotency, and intentions to perform hygienic food handling behaviors. A week later, behavior was assessed via a follow-up self-report questionnaire. It was found that subjective norm and perceived behavioral control predicted intentions and intentions predicted behavior. However, behavioral prepotency was found to be the strongest predictor of behavior, over and above intentions, suggesting that food hygiene behavior is habitual. Neither executive function measure of self-Regulation predicted any additional variance. These results provide support for the utility of the Theory of planned behavior in this health domain, but the augmentation of the Theory with two aspects of temporal self-Regulation Theory was only partially successful.

  • relational Regulation Theory a new approach to explain the link between perceived social support and mental health
    Psychological Review, 2011
    Co-Authors: Brian Lakey, Edward Orehek
    Abstract:

    Perceived support is consistently linked to good mental health, which is typically explained as resulting from objectively supportive actions that buffer stress. Yet this explanation has difficulty accounting for the often-observed main effects between support and mental health. Relational Regulation Theory (RRT) hypothesizes that main effects occur when people regulate their affect, thought, and action through ordinary yet affectively consequential conversations and shared activities, rather than through conversations about how to cope with stress. This Regulation is primarily relational in that the types of people and social interactions that regulate recipients are mostly a matter of personal taste. RRT operationally defines relationships quantitatively, permitting the clean distinction between relationships and recipient personality. RRT makes a number of new predictions about social support, including new approaches to intervention.

  • Regulation Theory and the EU
    Competition & Change, 2006
    Co-Authors: Charlie Dannreuther
    Abstract:

    Abstract Regulation Theory (RT) approaches have had considerable success in explaining how social institutions have sustained capitalist regimes of accumulation in modern industrial economies. But they have been criticized for an excessive dependence on technological determinism in explaining change, as ignoring political conflicts over recognition (as opposed to redistribution) and as failing to incorporate changes in the international or global political economy in the sustenance and reform of domestic social compromise. This paper examines the EU as a mode of social Regulation from a political science perspective. The paper examines recent developments in RT in the light of literature on European integration and finds that rights – civic, political, social and economic – are a focus of both literatures. RT rights are seen as a way of legitimating forms of capitalist accumulation and in political science as a way of integrating societies. It then examines the distribution of rights between the national ...

  • Post-Fordism, Beyond National Models: The Main Challenges for Regulation Theory
    Competition & Change, 2006
    Co-Authors: Charlie Dannreuther, Pascal Petit
    Abstract:

    Abstract This paper discusses the challenges to Regulation Theory (RT) that are presented by post-national modes of accumulation. It begins by introducing to RT's core analytical foundations a mode of social Regulation and its explanation of the regime of accumulation. The paper then examines how, despite clear asymmetries, the stability of the international system supported domestic accumulation. Because of this, RT only really addressed the international from the perspective of the nation state, and with only limited engagement with North–South issues. While some authors did address the international system, the greater instability of the 1970s combined domestic regime change with greater international insecurity. Up to the collapse of the Berlin Wall, new political ideologies and economic ideals challenged the nation-based Keynesian compromise while greater trade from the South and greater financial liberalisation fundamentally altered the international environment. Various approaches to the post-Fordi...
