(2006, background): “…being applied in this area, and many of the theories being used most often, including the theory of reasoned action, social cognitive theory, and the transtheoretical ‘‘stages of change’’ model, also are widely studied in the health behavior change literature (e.g., Noar & Zimmerman, 2005).”
Current issues and new direction in Psychology and Health : Advancing the science of behavior change (2007, background): “Despite a shared commitment to theory, there is a growing concern that we are not tending to our theories as well as we ought (Noar & Zimmerman, 2005; Rothman, 2004; Weinstein & Rothman, 2005).”

Network analysis: a brief overview and tutorial (2018, background): “…higher order construct (e.g. Attitudes, Norms, PBC, and Intentions) and then multiple regression examines the extent to which variation in Attitudes, Norms and PBC accounts for variation in Intentions, and which variables have significant relationships with intentions (Noar & Zimmerman, 2005).”
Does tailoring matter? Meta-analytic review of tailored print health behavior change interventions. (2007, background): “SCT suggests, however, that the most central determinant of health behavior change is self-efficacy, a concept discussed above that is now included in numerous theories of health behavior (Noar, 2005; Noar & Zimmerman, 2005).”
An Experimental Test of the Theory of Planned Behavior (2009, background): “Over the last three decades, researchers have conducted hundreds of studies applying and testing the TPB with regard to an array of social and health behaviors (Armitage & Conner, 2001; Noar & Zimmerman, 2005 ).”
