I) Practical Problem
A) “Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death in the United States, and well-established CVD risk factors, such as obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes, are common in adults” (LeFevre). Physicians often advise patients to lose weight, and in this case, a physician recommends that his patient should lose 40 pounds or his patient may be at risk of a heart attack, which is the practical problem. The patient recognizes the necessity to make healthy lifestyle changes. The patient also realizes that the doctor is correct with his medical recommendation; however, the patient has a negative outlook toward making the necessary lifestyle changes, as he does not like to exercise or diet. Nevertheless, …show more content…
Additionally, this includes his negative thought patterns of uncertainties that the person can attain a positive outcome. Also, a person’s outlook to better their health due to potential medical conditions to gain positive motivation will use “The self-determination theory” (Ryan and Deci, 2000), to create optimistic outcomes which may reverse a negative self-view to achieve a healthy weight loss goal outcome.
IV) Testable Hypothesis
A) A testable hypothesis may postulate, can a person with a negative outlook better their health and create positive motivation with “The self-determination theory” (Ryan and Deci, 2000), to self-motive using resilient, self-efficacy (Bandura, 1977), and create an optimistic health outcome and reverse a negative self-view to achieve a healthy weight?

According to “The self-determination theory” (Ryan and Deci, 2000), “the same behavioral goal (e.g., self-monitoring one 's diet or exercise routine) can be enacted according to various regulatory/motivational features, from externally driven (e.g., to avoid criticism from a health professional), to partially internalized (introjected) regulation (e.g., "the people in my weight loss group all keep exercise diaries; I really feel like I should do it too"), all the way to autonomous regulation” (Teixeira, Silva, Mata & Markland, 2012).
B) The second piece of evidence consists of a peer-reviewed article in which Bellg (2003), discusses the ““Maintenance of health behavior change in preventive cardiology” which identifies four self-needs (ownership, self-determination, security, and support) as well as four behavior-related needs (preference, context, competence, and coping) as motivating health behavior internalization. Behavior change strategies promote integrated internalization are identified from the self-determination theory, motivational interviewing, and transtheoretical model interventions” (Bellg,
