• Mixed reasons, missed givings: The costs of blending egoistic and altruistic reasons in donation requests☆ (2012, background): “…For our dependent variable, in light of extensive research showing that behavioral intentions are strong predictors of actual behavior (Ajzen, 1991; Armitage & Conner, 2001; Gollwitzer, 1999), we measured giving intentions with the statement, “It is probable that I will give to [university] in the…”
• Interaction Effects in the Theory of Planned Behavior: The Interplay of Self‐Identity and Past Behavior (2007, methodology): “More than two decades of research using the theories of reasoned action and planned behavior has provided extensive support for the ability of the models to predict a wide range of behavior (for recent reviews, see Armitage & Conner, 2001; Conner, Norman, & Bell, 2002).”
• Factors affecting e-commerce adoption among SMEs in Ghana (2016, background): “Attitude also exhibited a strong direct relationship with behaviour intention, as widely confirmed in TRA and TPB studies, where a strong significant association between the two was noted (Armitage and Conner, 2001).”
• Explaining the Discrepancy between Intentions and Actions: The Case of Hypothetical Bias in Contingent Valuation (2004, methodology): “As in many other applications (see Ajzen, 2001b; Armitage & Conner, 2001), the theory of planned behavior was found to be a useful conceptual framework for trying to predict and understand voting in hypothetical and real referenda.”
• The role of perceived effectiveness of policy measures in predicting recycling behaviour in Hong Kong (2014, background): “The TPB has received considerable attention in the literature and its efficacy in explaining behaviour has been proved (Armitage and Conner, 2001).”
• Using an extended theory of planned behaviour to understand smoking amongst schoolchildren (2005, methodology): “Studies employing the TPB however, generally report that subjective norms (the component of the model representing normative influences) are the weakest predictor of intentions (see Armitage & Conner, 2001 for a review).”
• Financial Decision Making in Family Firms (2014, methodology): “Last, as often suspected, we investigated if perceived behavioral control and intentions interacted with each other to affect our results (Armitage & Conner, 2001).”
• Bridging the intention-behavior gap : Inducing implementation intentions through persuasive appeals (2011, neutral): “However, even though intentions are believed to be the best predictor of behavior (Ajzen, 1991; Armitage & Conner, 2001), they account for less than one third of the variance in behavior (Sheeran, 2002; Webb & Sheeran, 2006).”
• The roles of learning orientation and passion for work in the formation of entrepreneurial intention (2013, background): “Since motivation scholars maintain that intentions offer good predictors of behavior (Ajzen, 1991; Armitage and Conner, 2001), a strong understanding of the factors that influence entrepreneurial intentions remains critical to explaining entrepreneurial behavior (Shane and Venkataraman, 2000).”
• The effect of environmental concern and scepticism on green purchase behaviour (2013, result): “This finding is consistent with Armitage and Conner’s (2001) meta analysis results from 154 studies, which showed that attitude, subjective norm and PBC account for 39 per cent of the variance in intention.”
• Transformational leadership, employee turnover intention, and actual voluntary turnover in public organizations (2017, neutral): “This is consistent with the TRA and TPB, which posit that a person’s behaviour is determined by his or her intention to perform that behaviour (Armitage and Conner 2001; Van Breukelen, Van der Vlist, and Steensma 2004).”
