TL;DR: The Self-Report Habit Index (SRHI) as discussed by the authors was developed on the basis of features of habit; that is, a history of repetition, automaticity (lack of control and awareness, efficiency), and expressing identity.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of empirical studies adopting Leventhal, Meyer and Nerenz's (1980) Common Sense Model (CSM) of illness representations is presented in this paper, where the average corrected intercorrelation matrix for the sample of studies showed that the CSM illness cognition dimensions of consequences, control/cure, identity and timeline followed a logical pattern supporting their construct and discriminant validity across illness types.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a comprehensive introduction to protection motivation theory and its application to health-related behavior, together with a quantitative review of the applications of PMT to healthrelated intentions and behavior.

TL;DR: Overall, findings support a social psychological model of condom use highlighting the importance of behavior-specific cognitions, social interaction, and preparatory behaviors rather than knowledge and beliefs about the threat of infection.

TL;DR: It is concluded that supplementing PMT with implementation intentions strengthens the ability of the model to explain behaviour, which has implications for health education programmes, which should aim to increase both participants' motivation and their volition.
