What are the different levels to an Ecological Model? Be familiar with the definitions of each.
Intrapersonal, public policy, physical environment, sociocultural factors.
What are examples of interventions that could happen at each level of the ecological model?
Public Policy: legislation, physical environment: physical characteristics of behavioral setting—“piano stairs,” sociocultural environments: social norms in behavioral setting.
What are some examples of physical activity environments using the ecological model?
