The first model proposes that perceived severity of health consequences from eatingunhealthy (called ‘Severity’ in the data file) and perceived susceptibility to health problemsin general (called ‘GenRisk’) both predict perceived risk for health consequences specific tounhealthy eating (called ‘EatRisk’). In turn, perceived risk for health consequences specificto unhealthy eating is thought to directly predict the extent to which an individual engagesin healthy eating (called ‘Behaviour’). It is argued further that level of health consciousness(called ‘Conscious’; operationalised as awareness of need to be healthy and level of focuson achieving this) is also predictive of engagement in healthy eating, independent ofEatRisk.

Solution
The model suggests that the perception of the severity of health consequences from unhealthy eating (Severity) and the perceived susceptibility to general health problems (GenRisk) both predict the perceived risk for health consequences specific to unhealthy eating (EatRisk). This perceived risk, in turn, is thought to directly influence the extent to which an individual engages in healthy eating (Behaviour). Additionally, the model proposes that the level of health consciousness (Conscious), defined as the awareness of the need to be healthy and the focus on achieving this, also predicts engagement in healthy eating, independent of EatRisk.
