Table 1.
Part | Behaviour change method/s | Implementation strategy | Target construct |
1: Education | Information provision | Provide information about the risks of driving into floodwater | Attitudes, risk perception, perceived severity, perceived susceptibility |
2: Formation of a goal intention | Personalise risk Scenario-based risk information Provide opportunities for social comparison Goal setting |
Providing information about the personal risk; providing reasons people commonly drive into floodwater from prior studies; providing a strategy for overcoming barriers to avoiding driving into floodwater | Intention, attitudes, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control, risk perception, perceived severity, perceived susceptibility, anticipated regret, barrier self-efficacy |
3: Practice imagery exercise | Guided practice (imagery skill) | Tangy lemon guided imagery task | Not applicable |
4: Process mental simulation | Implementation intentions Goal setting Planning coping responses Guided practice Using imagery |
Provide examples of things to do when floodwater is encountered; imagining the steps to use when encountering floodwater while driving; process mental simulation exercise | Intention, perceived behavioural control, barrier self-efficacy, action planning |
5: Outcome mental simulation | Personalise risk Information about others’ approval Provide contingent rewards Using imagery |
Encouragement to think about the things that can happen when driving into floodwater and when avoiding driving into floodwater, including the risk and the benefits; information about what important others will think; outcome mental simulation exercise | Intention, attitudes, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control, risk perception, perceived severity, perceived susceptibility, anticipated regret |
6: Conclusion | Cue altering | Instructing that if ever in the situation to remember goal | Barrier self-efficacy |
Part 3 refers to the practice task which is designed to build imagery ability and does not relate to a target construct being assessed.
