Theory can be used in many different ways to inform the process of health behavior change. Value-Expectancy theories (VE-T) explain how individuals make health behavior decisions with respect to their expectations and beliefs regarding the health behavior. Assessment of the value attached to the outcomes of that behavior drives the decision.

Value-Expectancy theories (VE-T) explain how individuals make health behavior decisions with respect to their expectations and beliefs regarding the health behavior. Assessment of the value attached to the outcomes of that behavior drives the decision.
Choose a health behavior to be changed (e.g., smoking, overeating). Choose two of the VE-T theories described in Chapter 4 and apply the chosen behavior to both theories. Explain the process and possibilities of change within each theoretical framework.
Finally, explain which theory might have the “edge” in producing long-term change. Justify your response with referenced support. As you respond to classmates, feel free to debate and respectfully agree or disagree with their approach.
