The correct answer is perceived behavioural control: these are barriers standing in the way of her wanting to make that change, these are factors she's not in control of. Her desire to lose weight *is* an example of behavioural attitude but weight loss isn't a concern. Perceived threat would be correct if this was the health belief model.

The psychosocial model is the correct answer. People in lower social classes and people in lower-grade positions in organisations experience more stress and anxiety because they have less control in how they manage their lives. Anxiety induces a stress response (the neuroendocrine response to stress) leading to health problems. The behavioural and cultural models are the same thing and describe how health behaviours are influenced by social class, culture and friends. The neomaterial model describes how a lack of personal and/or community resources makes it difficult to adopt healthy behaviours e.g. because they can't afford them or can't easily access them.

The correct answer is severity as he is scared of HIV (and what that diagnosis might mean for him).
