Intention–Behavior Relations: A Conceptual and Empirical Review
TLDR
In this article, a meta-analysis of meta-analyses is used to quantify the intention-behavior gap and a conceptual analysis of intention discrepancy is presented, and the scope of the intention construct is discussed in light of recent evidence concerning the role of habits and automaticity in human behavior.Abstract:
This chapter addresses two questions; how big is the “gap” between intentions and behavior, and what psychological variables might be able to “bridge” the intention–behavior gap? A meta-analysis of meta-analyses is used to quantify the gap and a conceptual analysis of intention–behavior discrepancies is presented. Research is described on the extent to which four groups of variables—behavior type, intention type, properties of intention, and cognitive and personality variables—moderate intention–behavior relations. Finally, the scope of the intention construct is discussed in the light of recent evidence concerning the role of habits and automaticity in human behavior.read more

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.

The theory of planned behaviour: reactions and reflections
TL;DR: Ajzen et al. as discussed by the authors discussed the nature of intentions and the limits of predictive validity, rationality, affect and emotions; past behaviour and habit; the prototype/willingness model; and the role of such background factors as the big five personality traits and social comparison tendency.

Implementation intentions and goal achievement: A meta-analysis of effects and processes
TL;DR: In this article, a review analyzes whether realization of goal intentions is facilitated by forming an implementation intention that spells out the when, where, and how of goal striving in advance (i.e., if situation Y is encountered, then I will initiate goal-directed behavior X!).
The Influence of Attitudes on Behavior
TL;DR: The authors reviewed major meta-analyses of the attitude-behavior relation and found that general attitudes toward policies, people, institutions, and events correlate well with general behavioral patterns but not with specific behaviors.

The moderator–mediator variable distinction in social psychological research: Conceptual, strategic, and statistical considerations.
Reuben M. Baron,David A. Kenny +1 more
TL;DR: This article seeks to make theorists and researchers aware of the importance of not using the terms moderator and mediator interchangeably by carefully elaborating the many ways in which moderators and mediators differ, and delineates the conceptual and strategic implications of making use of such distinctions with regard to a wide range of phenomena.

The theory of planned behavior
TL;DR: Ajzen, 1985, 1987, this article reviewed the theory of planned behavior and some unresolved issues and concluded that the theory is well supported by empirical evidence and that intention to perform behaviors of different kinds can be predicted with high accuracy from attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; and these intentions, together with perceptions of behavioral control, account for considerable variance in actual behavior.
