At the Tenshi Health and Nutrition Clinic conducted in 2008, which aimed at the prevention of metabolic syndrome", participants were given instructions and supports to change their three major health behaviors, eating, physical acting, and resting, for four months. In doing so, the stages of their behavior changes in the three major health behaviors were assessed by the three kinds of questionnaires, based on the stages of behavior change theory. The participants whose stage scores of health behavior change were elevated during the clinic period showed marked physical improvement compared to other participants. The questionnaires assessing self efficacy (SE) and social support (SS) were created and used for each of the three behaviors, eating, physical acting, and resting. SE and SS are known to be important in progressively maintaining the stages of behavior change. During the clinic period, the participants' stage scores and the average scores of the SE and SS scales were significantly improved in the three major health behaviors, thus proving the usefulness of both scales. In each SE or SS scale for eating, physical acting, and resting that was developed and used, the reliability coefficient, Cronbach's coefficient alpha, was higher than 0.88. They also showed high reproducibility in the test retest method. When the correlations with the standardized common scale scores were examined, significant positive correlations were observed for all scales and the validity was also obtained. From the results of the principal factor analysis of the SE and SS scales evaluating eating, physical acting, and resting behaviors, which can be easily utilized on providing support for health behavior change, future issues are discussed.
