We argue that habit is a psychological construct, rather than simply past behavioral frequency. In 4 studies, 12‐item index of strength (the Self‐Report Habit Index, SRHI) was developed on the basis features habit; is, history repetition, automaticity (lack control and awareness, efficiency), expressing identity. High internal test‐retest reliabilities were found. The SRHI correlated strongly with frequency response measure (Verplanken, Aarts, van Knippenberg, & 1994). discriminated...
Objective: This study compared a motivational intervention based on protection motivation theory (PMT, Rogers, 1975, 1983) with the same augmented by volitional implementation intentions (Gollwitzer, 1993). Design: The had longitudinal design, involving three waves of data collection over 2‐week period, incorporating an experimental manipulation PMT variables at Time 1 and volitional, intention 2. Method: Participants ( N =248) were randomly allocated to control group or one two groups....
This study concerns the implications of Peter Gollwitzer's concept implementation intentions for Icek Ajzen's theory planned behavior. Attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and were assessed before an intervention that required subjects to make concerning when where they would perform breast self-examination during next month. Behavior was by self-report 1 month later. Results supported contention goal have been supplemented behavior is be performed are more likely...
Habit might be usefully characterized as a form of automaticity that involves the association cue and response. Three studies examined habitual in regard to different aspects cue-response relationship characteristic unhealthy healthy habits.In each study, was assessed by Self-Report Index (SRHI). In Study 1 SRHI scores correlated with attentional bias smoking cues Stroop task. 2 ability habit elicit an unwanted prospective field relation when drinking alcohol licensed public house (pub)...
Two experiments based upon Gollwitzer's (1993) concept of implementation intentions are described. In both experiments, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control and from Ajzen's (1991) theory planned behaviour were used to measure participants' motivation prior an intervention in which participants made specifying where when they would take a vitamin C pill each day. Behaviours assessed by self-report count at 10 days 3 weeks Experiment 1, 2 5 2. Results supported the view...
A longitudinal test of the association between motivation to undertake a precautionary health action and subsequent behaviour was conducted on women's uptake cervical screening test. sample never‐screened women ( N = 166) completed measures derived from protection‐motivation theory (PMT; Rogers, 1983). One year later, reliably determined medical records. While regression analyses demonstrated that PMT variables predicted both undergo uptake, there was, nonetheless, good deal inconsistency...
Ajzen (1991) invited researchers to identify additional predictors of intentions and behavior after the effects attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control from theory planned (TPB) have been taken into account. Findings 3 correlational studies showed that anticipated regret descriptive norms contributed substantial variance in play lottery theory's had controlled. Study 4 used an experimental manipulation confirm increased play. Intentions were found predict a similar extent...
Efforts to guide peoples' behavior toward environmental sustainability, good health, or new products have emphasized informational and attitude change strategies. There is evidence that changing attitudes leads changes in behavior, yet this approach takes insufficient account of the nature operation habits, which form boundary conditions for attitude-directed interventions. Integration research on habits might enable investigators identify when how strategies will be most effective. How...
This article evaluates an intervention based on P. M. Gollwitzer's (1993) concept of implementation intentions. Women registered at a medical practice in rural England (N = 114) completed measures the theory planned behavior variables before manipulation that induced one half sample to form intentions specifying when, where, and how they would make appointment. Subsequent attendance was determined from records. Findings show previous delay provided good prediction attendance. However,...
This study tested the hypothesis that temporal stability of behavioral intentions moderates relationships between and behavior previous experience subsequent performance. Respondents (N = 164) completed measures theory planned variables, with respect to studying over winter vacation, at two time points prior vacation subsequently reported their behavior. Intention was computed from within-participants correlations Time 1 2 intention items. moderated intention-behavior relation such stable...
A field study tested Gollwitzer's (1993) proposition that the formation of implementation intentions specifying action opportunities accounts for speed with which are translated into action. Motivation to resume functional activity was assessed among a general population sample patients prior joint replacement surgery. At 3 months following people who had formed were found have initiated 18 out 32 activities sooner than not intentions. This difference could be attributed differences in...
There are reliable individual differences in the extent to which people consider long- and short-term consequences of their behaviors. Such differences, assessed by Consideration Future Consequences (CFC) Scale (A. Strathman, F. Gleicher, D. S. Boninger, & C. Edwards, 1994), hypothesized influence impact a persuasive communication. In an experimental study, time frame occurrence positive negative engaging new colorectal cancer-screening program was manipulated sample two hundred twenty...

Previous work on temporal framing of health communications has focused upon detection behaviors that possess an inherent immediate risk negative consequences. The present studies evaluate the role frame for a preventive behavior, using sunscreen.Two experimental field manipulated in which positive and consequences sunscreen were presented.Cognitive responses, intention, behavior (experiment 2).Consistent with hypotheses, Experiment 1 showed individual differences consideration future (CFC;...
Habitual behaviours are triggered automatically, with little conscious forethought. Theory suggests that making healthy habitual, and breaking the habits underpin many ingrained unhealthy behaviours, promotes long-term behaviour change. This has prompted interest in incorporating habit formation disruption strategies into change interventions. Yet, notable research gaps limit understanding of how to harness real-world behaviours.Discussions among health psychology researchers practitioners,...
