Unit Learning Outcomes
This assessment task maps to the following ULOs: ULO1: Critically analyse and deconstruct behaviour change theory and its application within mental health contexts
Rationale
This assessment task provides you with an opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of key concepts and theories related to behaviour change within mental health contexts. By engaging with multiple-choice questions, you will critically apply foundational knowledge that underpins effective interventions for behaviour change. The online quiz format allows for broad coverage of unit material in a structured and objective manner, reinforcing essential theories and principles, enhancing knowledge retention, and helping you identify areas that require further study. This task also supports preparation for professional practice by familiarising you with the types of structured assessment often used in clinical decision-making, and by providing immediate feedback to consolidate understanding of theory and key principles underpinning co-constructed behaviour change between consumer and clinician.
Background
A sound understanding of behaviour change theories and their application is critical for mental health professionals seeking to support constructive change and recovery in consumers. Behaviour is influenced by complex interactions between neurophysiological, cognitive, emotional, and social factors, which can be further complicated by mental health conditions. Developing theoretical knowledge enables practitioners to critically evaluate these factors, anticipate potential challenges, and design interventions grounded in empirical evidence. Knowledge of foundational theories – such as models of motivation, behaviour change, and the principles of Motivational Interviewing – provides a framework for understanding how consumers engage with change processes. Early engagement with these concepts through structured learning, such as this quiz, ensures that students are prepared to apply theoretical insights effectively in professional contexts, enhancing the capacity to facilitate meaningful, co-constructed behaviour change.

Introduction
This online quiz will assess your understanding of the key behaviour change theories introduced in Weeks 1 and 2. The questions will focus on foundational models such as the Transtheoretical Model of Change, Health Belief Model, and Self-Determination Theory, as well as the principles of Motivational Interviewing. You will also be tested on how these theories apply within mental health contexts, including the role of motivation, consumer–clinician collaboration, and factors that influence engagement with change. By completing this quiz, you will demonstrate your ability to critically apply theoretical knowledge to practice, while reinforcing essential concepts that support effective behaviour change interventions.
