Deconstruction of effective oral hygiene behaviour into three behavioural domains (green rectangles). The general psychological constructs underlying these behaviours are the same for all domains (see also Fig. 1). However, their content differs according to the specific behaviour to which they refer. This is illustrated for problem awareness (black rectangles) but also applies to the other constructs. For a general model see also https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Effective_health_behaviour.jpg
