Unlocking Behaviour Change Episode 36: Introduction to the COM-B model Part 2 - how the components interact

You can do it! Or . . . can you? When does believing in your own abilities help you achieve your goals? In this episode, Robert and Jamie explore how the different elements of the COM-B model interact. They clear up a bit of confusion about whether self-efficacy sits better with capability or motivation, and why the capability factor 'understanding the costs and benefits of doing something' primarily exerts its influence through motivation ...  Even seasoned COM-B aficionados should find something of interest in this episode.
