  • physical activity participation social cognitive theory versus the theories of Reasoned Action and planned behavior
    Journal of Sport & Exercise Psychology, 1990
    Co-Authors: David A Dzewaltowski, John M Noble, Jeff M Shaw
    Abstract:

    Social cognitive theory and the theories of Reasoned Action and planned behavior were examined in the prediction of 4 weeks of physical activity participation. The theories of Reasoned Action and planned behavior were supported. Attitude and perceived control predicted intention, and intention predicted physical activity participation. The social cognitive theory variables significantly predicted physical activity participation, with self-efficacy and self-evaluation of the behavior significantly contributing to the prediction. The greater the confidence in participating in physical activity and the greater the satisfAction with present physical activity, the more physical activity performed. Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that perceived control and intentions did not account for any unique variation in physical activity participation over self-efficacy. Therefore the social cognitive theory constructs were better predictors of physical activity than those from the theories of Reasoned Action ...

  • predicting aerobic exercise participation social cognitive Reasoned Action and planned behavior models
    Journal of Sport & Exercise Psychology, 1993
    Co-Authors: Galen A Yordy, Robert W Lent
    Abstract:

    This study explored the utility of Reasoned Action, planned behavior, and social cognitive models in explaining aerobic exercise intentions and behavior. Two hundred eighty-four college students completed measures of each model's central predictor variables, as well as indices of prior exercise frequency and future exercise intentions and behavior. Findings indicate that the Reasoned Action and social cognitive models are each significantly predictive of future exercise intention and behavior. The planned behavior model did not improve over the theory of Reasoned Action in predictive analyses. The effects of prior exercise activity on future exercise behavior are also partially mediated by variables from the Reasoned Action and social cognitive models. Implications for further research on theories of exercise behavior are discussed.

  • Martin Fishbein’s Legacy The Reasoned Action Approach
    The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 2012
    Co-Authors: Icek Ajzen
    Abstract:

    The Reasoned Action approach that Martin Fishbein pioneered has emerged as the dominant conceptual framework for predicting, explaining, and changing human social behavior. The most popular model in this tradition, the theory of planned behavior, has generated a great deal of empirical research supporting the premises of this approach. It has been shown that behavioral, normative, and control beliefs provide the basis, respectively, for attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; that these three factors jointly account for a great deal of variance in behavioral intentions; and that intentions and perceived control can be used to predict actual behavior. Based on these insights, investigators have been able to design effective behavior change interventions.

  • EDITORIAL COMMENT Questions Raised by a Reasoned Action Approach: Comment on Ogden (2003)
    2004
    Co-Authors: Icek Ajzen, Martin Fishbein
    Abstract:

    In her critique of social cognition or Reasoned Action models, J. Ogden (2003) claimed that such modelsare not falsifiable and thus cannot be tested, that the postulated relations among model components aretrue by definition, and that questionnaires used to test the models may create rather than assess cognitionsand thus influence later behavior. The authors of this comment challenge all 3 arguments and contend thatthe findings Ogden regarded as requiring rejection of the models are, in fact, consistent with them, thatthere is good evidence for the validity of measures used to assess the models’ major constructs, and thatthe effect of completing a questionnaire on cognitions and subsequent behavior is an empirical question.Key words: Reasoned Action, social cognitions, problems, critique, reply

  • a comparison of the theory of planned behavior and the theory of Reasoned Action
    Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 1992
    Co-Authors: Thomas J Madden, Pam Scholder Ellen, Icek Ajzen
    Abstract:

    Research in social psychology has extensively referenced and used Fishbein and Ajzen's theory of Reasoned Action to predict and understand motivational influences on behavior Recently Ajzen has proposed an extension of the theory by including perceptions of behavioral control as an additional predictor of intentions and behavior. The present research compared Ajzen's theory of planned behavior with the theory of Reasoned Action for 10 behaviors chosen to represent a range with respect to control over performing the behavior. he results indicate that inclusion of perceived behavioral control enhances the prediction of behavioral intention and behavior Consistent with the theory of planned behavior, the effects of perceived behavioral control on a target behavior are most vivid when the behavior presents some problem with respect to control.
