Mindfulness and the Intention-Behavior Relationship Within the Theory of Planned Behavior

Chatzisarantis, Nikos L. D., Hagger, Martin S.·2007·Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin

Abstract

The present study examined moderating effects of mindfulness on the intention-behavior relationship within the theory of planned behavior. Mindfulness describes a quality of consciousness characterized by heightened clarity and awareness of present experiences and functioning. Study 1 showed that mindfulness moderated the intention-behavior relationship in a leisure-time physical activity context such that intentions predicted physical activity among mindful individuals and not among less-mindful individuals. Study 2 measured counterintentional habits relating to binge-drinking and found that habitual binge-drinking obstructed the enactment of physical activity intentions among individuals acting less mindfully but not among individuals acting mindfully. Finally, Studies 1 and 2 demonstrated that the effects of mindfulness on physical activity were independent of effects observed for habit and variables contained in the theory of planned behavior. These findings suggest that mindfulness is a useful construct that helps understand the intention-behavior relationship within the theory of planned behavior.

  • Habit strength has also been shown to be predictive of physical activity in adults and children.

    “Habit strength has also been shown to be predictive of physical activity in adults (Chatzisarantis & Hagger, 2007;Verplanken B & Melkevik O, 2008) and children (Kremers & Brug, 2008).”

  • Chatzisarantis and Hagger showed that intentions to engage in vigorous physical activity or active sports became less associated with behaviour as habit strength increased, but beta weights were not provided to illustrate this effect.

    “Chatzisarantis and Hagger ([59] studies 1 and 2) showed that intentions to engage in vigorous physical activity or active sports became less associated with behaviour as habit strength increased, but beta weights were not provided to illustrate this effect.”

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.
