  • In the academic performance study, predictive validity of perceived behavioral control improved from the beginning to the end of the semester.

    “Some confirmation of this speculation can be found in the study on academic performance (Ajzen & Madden, 1986) in which the predictive validity of perceived behavioral control improved from the beginning to the end of the semester”

  • With such scoring, correlations between belief-based and global estimates of subjective norm are generally in the range of .40 to .80.

    “With such scoring, correlations between belief-based and global estimates of subjective norm are generally in the range of .40 to .80,not unlike the findings with respect to attitudes”

  • Only a handful of studies have examined the relation between specific control beliefs and perceived behavioral control.

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.
