Goal Achievement: The Role of Intentions
TLDR
In this article, the intention-to-behavior process is analyzed with respect to implementation intentions, which link an intended goal-directed behavior to an anticipated situational context, and induce direct (automatic) control of the intended behavior through these cues.Abstract:
The intention-to-behavior process is analyzed with respect to implementation intentions. These intentions link an intended goal-directed behavior to an anticipated situational context. The reported experimental evidence suggests that implementation intentions create a heightened accessibility of the mental representation of the specified situational cues and induce direct (automatic) control of the intended behavior through these cues. The formation of implementation intentions promotes goal achievement through both of these processes because they eliminate classic problems associated with the control of goal-directed action. Similarities and differences to other theoretical approaches on intentions, planning, and action control are discussed.read more

Implementation intentions: Strong effects of simple plans.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose to delegate the control of goal-directed responses to anticipated situational cues, which elicit these responses automatically when actually encountered, and demonstrate that implementation intentions further the attainment of goals.

The unbearable automaticity of being
John A. Bargh,Tanya L. Chartrand +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review evidence that the ability to exercise such conscious, intentional control is actually quite limited, so that most of moment-to-moment psychological life must occur through nonconscious means if it is to occur at all.

Does changing behavioral intentions engender behavior change? A meta-analysis of the experimental evidence.
Thomas L. Webb,Paschal Sheeran +1 more
TL;DR: Meta-analysis showed that a medium-to-large change in intention leads to a small- to-medium change in behavior, and several conceptual factors, methodological features, and intervention characteristics that moderate intention-behavior consistency were identified.

From Intentions to Actions: A Theory of Planned Behavior
TL;DR: There appears to be general agreement among social psychologists that most human behavior is goal-directed (e. g., Heider, 1958 ; Lewin, 1951), and human social behavior can best be described as following along lines of more or less well-formulated plans.

Self-efficacy mechanism in human agency
TL;DR: The centrality of the self-efficacy mechanism in human agency is discussed in this paper, where the influential role of perceived collective effi- cacy in social change is analyzed, as are the social con- ditions conducive to development of collective inefficacy.

TL;DR: For instance, the authors discusses the multiplicity of the consciousness of self in the form of the stream of thought and the perception of space in the human brain, which is the basis for our work.
