The TPB provides a good account of behavioural intentions to engage in household recycling.
“Indeed, a number of studies have demonstrated that, on the whole, the TPB provides a good account of behavioural intentions to engage in household recycling (e.g., Knussen, Yule, MacKenzie, & Wells, 2004;Mannetti, Pierro, & Livi, 2004;Terry, Hogg, & White, 1999).”

Studies have demonstrated the importance of self-identity, perceived availability of recycling facilities, and group norms and social identity in household recycling.
“In addition, these studies have demonstrated the importance of a number of other variables including self-identity (Mannetti et al., 2004;Terry et al., 1999), perceived availability of recycling facilities (Knussen et al., 2004), and group norms and social identity (Terry et al., 1999).”

In both studies, PBC was the strongest predictor of intentions to recycle.
“In both studies, PBC was the strongest predictor of intentions to recycle, a finding that is consistent with recent research (Barr, 2007;Knussen et al., 2004).”

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.
