More than money: Father-child relationships in early childhood"

19 Novembro 2021, 15:00 Rita Sousa


In this presentation I review the empirical evidence that links father involvement to children's developmental outcomes during early childhood. I take a family systems perspective that fathers' contribution to their children's development is over and above the contribution of mothers and present evidence that explores various mechanisms of influence. Finally, I situate my research on father involvement in a cultural and policy context that has important implications for programs and policies.

Using the I-Change Model for understanding health behaviors and developing interventions.

4 Novembro 2021, 14:00 Rita Sousa


In this seminar Prof. Dr. Hein de Vries, professor in Health Communication at the department of Health Promotion at Maastricht University, will discuss how information of various social-cognitive models can be integrated in a model to help to understand health behaviors. The I-Change Model integrates findings from several models, such as the Social-Cognitive Theory, the Theory of Planned Behavior, The Health Belief Model.

A core feature is that three phases in the process to behavioral change are distinguished: Awareness; Motivation and Action. Each phase has phase specific determinants.

The seminar will provide a description of this model as well how the model can be used to develop and evaluate health promoting interventions, including computer tailored eHealth Interventions.
