Four competing theories of health-protective behavior are reviewed: the health belief model, the theory of reasoned action, protection motivation theory, and subjective expected utility theory. In spite of their commonalities, these models are seldom tested against one another. The review points out the similarities and differences among these theories and the data and analyses needed to compare them. In addition to describing the content of the models, their conceptualization of key variables, and the combinatorial rules used to make predictions, some general problems in theory development and testing for health behaviors are examined. The article's goal is to help investigators design studies that will clarify the strengths and weaknesses of these models, leading toward a better understanding of health behavior.
健康信念模型、理性行动理论、保护动机理论和主观预期效用理论。尽管这些模型有共同之处，但它们很少相互验证。该综述指出了这些理论之间的异同，以及比较它们所需的数据和分析。除了描述模型的内容、关键变量的概念化以及用于进行预测的组合规则外，还研究了健康行为理论发展和检验中的一些普遍问题。本文的目的是帮助研究人员设计研究，以阐明这些模型的优缺点，从而更好地理解健康行为。
