When using the Protection Motivation Theory construct of threat appraisal, behavior change can result when the focus of change is not on the threat, per se, but on:

self efficacy

Explanation:

The protection motivation theory states that people aims to protect themselves from four factors mainly. They are :

--  the seriousness of a threat

-- the probability of the occurrence of the threat

-- the efficacy of prevented behavior

-- perceived self efficacy

This theory was originally conceptualized to to clarify the fear appeals by Rogers in the year 1975. The protection motivation theory stems out from threat appraisal and the coping appraisal. The copying appraisal includes efficacy and self efficacy. When using this theory, the behavior change results when the ficus of change is on self efficacy than the threat itself.
