Psychology - Health - Theory of Planned Behaviour

TermDefinition
Who proposed the Theory of planned behaviour (TPB)? Ajzen (1985, 1991)
What does the TPB explain? how people control voluntary behaviours
What is the central concept of TPB? intention, which is affected by 3 sources
What are the 3 sources of TPB? 1) personal attitudes 2) subjective norms 3) perceived behaviour control (PBC)
What are 'personal attitudes'? balance of the person's favourable and unfavourable attitudes towards own behaviour
What are 'subjective norms'? person's beliefs about whether people who matter to them approve or disapprove of their behaviour
What is 'perceived behavioural control'? how much control we perceive we have over own behaviour
Which research support TPB? Hagger et al. 2011
What did Hagger et al. 2011 show? attitudes, norms and PBC influenced intentions, which then influenced actual alcohol consumption
What did Miller and Howell, 2005 show? gambling behaviour of teenagers not predicted by intentions and TPB not useful for interventions
What did Louis et al. 2009 show? attitudes, norms & PBC all affected by stress, so do not predict behaviour in way TPB suggests
What did McEachan et al. 2011 show? intention is a good predictor of not drinking within 5 weeks but not over longer period, so TPB not applicable to real-life behaviour change
