The role of desires and anticipated emotions in goal-directed behaviours: broadening and deepening the theory of planned behaviour
TLDR
A new model of purposive behaviour is developed which suggests that desires are the proximal causes of intentions, and the traditional antecedents in the TPB work through desires.Abstract:
Building on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), we develop a new model of purposive behaviour which suggests that desires are the proximal causes of intentions, and the traditional antecedents in the TPB work through desires. In addition, perceived consequences of goal achievement and goal failure are modelled as anticipated emotions, which also function as determinants of desires. The new model is tested in two studies: an investigation of bodyweight regulation by 108 Italians at the University of Rome and an investigation of effort expended in studying by 122 students at the University of Rome. Frequency and recency of past behaviour are controlled for in tests of hypotheses. The findings show that desires fully mediated the effects of attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control and anticipated emotions on intentions. Significantly greater amounts of variance are explained in intentions and behaviour by the new model in comparison to the TPB and variants of the TPB that include either anticipated emotions and/or past behaviour.read more

Intentional social action in virtual communities
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the individual and social determinants of the member's intentions to participate in virtual communities and find that we-intentions to participate are functions of both individual determinants (positive anticipated emotions and desires), and community influences (social identity).

Residual Effects of Past on Later Behavior: Habituation and Reasoned Action Perspectives:
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of existing evidence suggests that the residual impact of past behavior is attenuated when measures of intention and behavior are compatible and vanishes when intentions are strong and well formed, expectations are implemented.

TL;DR: In a meta-analytic synthesis of prior research on behavior prediction and in a primary research investigation as mentioned in this paper, the relationship between past behavior and future behavior is substantiated in a meta analytic synthesis.

Relationship between attitudes and evaluative space: A critical review, with emphasis on the separability of positive and negative substrates.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest that this bipolar dimension is insufficient to portray comprehensively positive and negative evaluative processes and that the question is not whether such processes are reciprocally activated, but under what conditions they are not reciprocally, non-reciprocally, or independently activated.

Brain systems that mediate both emotion and cognition.
TL;DR: A model of brain systems that simultaneously subserve emotion and cognition is presented, and postulates the existence of three fundamental systems of this kind in the mammalian brain: a behavioural approach system, a fight/flight system, and a behavioural inhibition system.

Predicting dishonest actions using the theory of planned behavior
Lisa Beck,Icek Ajzen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the prediction of dishonest actions was studied in the context of the theory of planned behavior, where participants completed a questionnaire that assessed attitudes, subjective norms, perceptions of behavioral control, intentions, and perceptions of moral obligations, as well as self-reports of behavior with respect to cheating on a test, shoplifting, and lying to get out of assignments.
