Question

Consider this scenario: Ron has researched how to move into and hold several yoga poses. However, when he attempts poses, he is unable to manipulate his body into each pose, and has difficulty holding some poses. According to SCT, why does Ron have difficulty holding these poses?

Answer 1

-Ron needs more behavioral capacity to perform the yoga poses

Step-by-step explanation:

Ron is having difficulty holding these poses because he needs more behavioral capacity to perform the yoga poses.

SCT means Social Cognitive Theory. It describes the influence of individual learning experiences, reciprocal interaction, environmental factors on individual health behaviors. It provides opportunity for social support by instilling expectations, self-efficacy, reciprocal determinism, observational learning and behavioral capability to achieve behavior change

Behavioral capability or capacity means understanding and having the skill to perform a behavior.

In order for Ron to do yoga poses well he must know what to do and how to do it.
