“In comparison to other meta-analyses focusing on TPB, these percentages are superior, as the 59.0% variance explained in behavioral intention is significantly higher than the 31.0% obtained by Rise etal. (2010), 33.0% by Rivis etal. (2009), and 39.0% by Rivis and Sheeran (2003).”

“However, no percentages of variance explained for use behavior are reported in the articles published by Rise etal. (2010), Rivis etal. (2009), and Rivis and Sheeran (2003).”

In the citing paper
“For example, Rivis and Sheeran's (2003) meta-analysis found that descriptive norms accounted for an additional 5% of the variance in intentions.”
From Social influence in the theory of planned behaviour: The role of descriptive, injunctive, and in-group norms (2009) · cites this paper as Rivis & Sheeran, 2003
In the citing paper
“These results support the argument that social factors are important within the theory of planned behaviour and support the inclusion of additional sources of social influence into the TPB (see e.g., Manstead, 2000;Rivis & Sheeran, 2003).”
From Social influence in the theory of planned behaviour: The role of descriptive, injunctive, and in-group norms (2009) · cites this paper as Rivis & Sheeran, 2003
In the citing paper
“Rivis and Sheeran ([2003], p. 228) assessed fourteen studies (total sample size N 5 5,810) covering a wide range of behavioural domains, and they found 'strong evidence in support of the predictive validity of descriptive norms' in 'intention formation'.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
