Abstract

Although the health-conscious core maintenance more literature on
tourism (Könyves at al 2005; Kerényi et al, 2009; Müller, Kórik 2009) or even
recreation (Csörgő et al, 2013, Juhász et al, 2015), school education (Müller
et al 2008, M üller et al 2009, Nagy et al 2009), but this measure does not
appear to quantify these. Reviewing the literature of health awareness I
didn’t find any measurement about it. Only Gould SJ. in his article Health
consciousness and health behavior: the application of a new health conscious-
ness scale (American Journal of Prev. Med. 1990 jul-aug; 6[4], p 228-237)
examined the health consciousness together with self-consciousness. He
created the scale of health awareness by modifying the self-consciousness. He
determined four primery factors of health awareness:
(1) Health Self-Consciousness,
(2) Health Alertness,
(3) Health Self-Monitoring, and
(4) Health Involvement
As it can be seen it is a socyological focused scale and examination method.
So, It is not good for me to make a market oriented analysis. Otherwise, It can
not be known the circumstances of measurement and examination.
An other modell, which has also socyoligical-psycholigical basis, examine „the
difficulty in action”. It is better for me because it is suitable to quantify a
quality variable. In my case this variable is „what are you doing for your
health”. This question was used in a research which method can you read
below.
