• The Theory of Planned Behavior as a model for understanding sedentary behavior (2015, positive): “In contrast to previous research on physical activity (Armitage& Conner, 2001; McEachan et al., 2011) but consistent with Rhodes and Dean (2009), PBC was found to be a poor predictor of both sedentary intentions and actual sedentary time.”
• Time to retire the theory of planned behaviour (2014, background): “The TPB seems to be most predictive amongst the young, fit and affluent and when predicting selfreported behaviour over a short term (McEachan et al., 2011; Sniehotta et al., 2013), which is less compatible with populations in which behaviour change theory is most needed.”
• The empowering variability of affordances of nature: Why do exercisers feel better after performing the same exercise in natural environments than in indoor environments? (2019, background): “Moreover, the static explanatory approach of the TPB fails to explain the evidenced effects of actual behaviours on cognitions and future behaviours (McEachan et al., 2011).”
• Perceived autonomy support and autonomous motivation toward mathematics activities in educational and out-of-school contexts is related to mathematics homework behavior and attainment (2015, background): “Perceived behavioral control is, typically, a statistically significant predictor of intentions in most tests of the theory of planned behavior and the trans-contextual model (Armitage & Conner, 2001; McEachan et al., 2012).”
• Socioeconomic status as a moderator between social cognitions and physical activity: Systematic review and meta‐analysis based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (2017, methodology): “The literature search for this study focused on updating the most recent systematic review on the prediction of health-related behaviors using the Theory of Planned Behavior (McEachan et al., 2011), which included studies up to 2010.”
• The impact of changing attitudes, norms, and self-efficacy on health-related intentions and behavior: A meta-analysis. (2015, background): “…of behavior (attitudes), (b) other people’s approval and performance of the behavior (social norms), and (c) one’s ability to execute the relevant responses (self-efficacy) are reliable predictors of health behaviors (e.g., Conner & Sparks, 2005; Godin & Kok, 1996; McEachan et al., 2011).”
