Drawing from stages of behavioral change framework, the goal of this research study is to examine changes in importance and confidence ratings for health behavior change associated with the course ‘Health Psychology.’ We hypothesize that self-efficacy for behavioral change will be associated with greater importance ratings. We further hypothesize that ratings of importance and confidence for diet and exercise change will increase from the beginning to end of the semester. A survey was administered to 227 undergraduate students in Health Psychology during the first and last two weeks of class. Results suggest that health curriculum may be associated with health behavior attitude change.
