The present study examined the roles of work factors (i.e. job demands and job resources), work-family conflicts and culture on predictors of healthy intentions (fruit and vegetable consumption, low-fat diet and physical activity) within the framework of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). Employees from the United Kingdom (N = 278) and Malaysia (N = 325) participated in the study. Results i...

This research examines (a) the interrelationships between body mass index (BMI), the direct measures of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) and physical activity intention and (b) the potential mediation effects of the direct measures of the TPB in the relationship between BMI and physical activity intention in a sample of Australian adults. A total sample of 1,062 respondents participated in...

The theory of Planned Behaviour is one of the models most frequently used in the literature to explore pro-environmental behaviour including recycling, travel mode choice, energy consumption, water conservation, food choice, and ethical investment (Stern, 2000; Staats, 2003). Armitage and Conner (2001) identified its application in 154 different contexts. The Theory of Planned Behaviour (Ajzen,...

This study aimed at evaluating the applicability of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) model in predicting user acceptance of online video services. Few studies have applied the TPB model within this context, even though the model has proven to be effective in predicting technology adoption. Validating the TPB model would improve the understanding of both academics and practitioners of the m...

OBJECTIVE Integration of a multiple goal theory approach into the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) to investigate how the perceived facilitating and conflicting relationships in multiple goal pursuit predict performance of a health-related behaviour. DESIGN Prospective design with 8-week follow-up. METHODS At baseline, perceived intergoal facilitation and intergoal conflict were measured u...

Dynamic geometry environments (DGEs) provide computer-based environments to construct and manipulate geometric figures with great ease. Research has shown that DGEs has positive impact on student motivation, engagement, and achievement in mathematics learning. However, the adoption of DGEs by mathematics teachers varies substantially worldwide. This paper described Macau secondary schools teach...

The escalation of academic dishonesty cases is becoming alarming. This study uses the Theory Planned Behaviour (TPB) and conscientiousness as an antecedent intention to cheat. Data were collected through electronic paper forms. Partial least squares path modeling (PLS-SEM) was used analyze responses from 917 undergraduate students in a Malaysian public university. results support that valid pre...

PURPOSE To test the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) in a large population sample of adolescents from Alberta, Canada. METHODS 4,073 adolescents completed a self-administered web-based survey related to physical activity (PA). RESULTS TPB explained 59% and 43% of the variance for intention and behavior, respectively. Moderating (by gender) and mediating tests were supported. CONCLUSIONS T...

Motivation in anorexia nervosa (AN) has been almost exclusively measured using the Transtheoretical Model of Change, despite criticisms of this model. In other areas of psychology, alternative models have been proposed to explain motivation. In Health Psychology, the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) is a widely used and supported model. The aim of the current study was to determine the appropr...
