Predicting Health Promoting Behaviour

Participant Information Sheet

My name is Anna Willcock and I am conducting this research as part of my Honours degree in Psychology at Curtin University. The aim of this research is to investigate the relationship between health promoting behaviour and health value, health outcome expectancy, and perceived health competence.

If you are aged 18 years or over and wish to participate in this study, you will be required to complete an online questionnaire that is estimated at taking 10 minutes to complete. Data collected from this questionnaire will be used for academic purposes in the completion of a dissertation paper. Data may also be used in future research papers.

All data collected from your participation will remain completely anonymous and confidential.
