Most models of human behaviour recognize ‘action’ starts with an intention to ‘do’ something. However, intention results from attitudes and beliefs about the behaviour in question. As a result, an individual's intentions are influenced by broader factors related to their developmental milieu. For instance, in the well-known ‘Theory of Planned Behaviour’ (see Ajzen, 1991, but also Mummery & Wankel, 1999 for an application to training adherence in sport), intentions are influenced by attitudes individuals have about the behaviour (e.g., do I see this behaviour as positive or negative?), subjective norms regarding how others think about the behaviour (e.g., is participation valued by my peers?), and the degree to which the individual has control over the behaviour (e.g., how difficult would it be to participate?).

The Theory of Reasoned Action (Ajzen, 1985; Ajzen & Fishbein, 1977) emphasizes the crucial and immediate role of behavioral intentions to adopt a new behavior. The Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1991) further suggests that the behavioral intention is shaped by attitudes (the beliefs about the positive or negative consequences of the behavior), subjective norms (the motivations and beliefs to comply with the behavior from other peers and social norms), and perceived behavior control (the beliefs of control over one’s behavior). The theory of planned behavior has been used to explain the adoption of health promotion behavior, such as PA (Hausenblas et al., 1997), smoking cessation (Topa & Moriano Leon, 2010), HIV prevention (Albarracín et al., 2001), and chronic illness treatment adherence (Rich et al., 2015).
Predicting Treatment Adherence: an Overview of Theoretical Models
Published in Lynn B. Myers, Kenny Midence, Adherence to Treatment in Medical Conditions, 2020
Perceived behavioural control (PBC) and perceived barriers have been added to the TRA to form the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB; Ajzen, 1985), shown in Figure 2. These variables were added on the grounds that they appear to improve predictions of intentions and behaviour (Ajzen, 1991, Conner and Sparks, 1996). The TPB extends the TRA to encompass behaviours which may not be totally under the individual’s volitional control. PBC describes the extent to which a person feels that behaving in a certain way is something that is within their control. This is dependent on control beliefs such as perception of both internal resources such as skills or information and external resources such as perceived barriers (Connor and Sparks, 1996). The concept is generally considered to be similar to Bandura’s (1977) concept of self-efficacy (Ajzen, 1991; Schwarzer and Fuchs, 1996).

The Theory of Planned Behavior postulates how various constructs or beliefs (eg, attitudes, values and social norms) inform intentions which, in turn, informs individual’s behaviors.20 While this investigation was designed to assess feasibility and perceptions of a strategy to reduce SB using a wearable device and was not specifically designed to assess its effectiveness for behavior change, some important narratives surrounding barriers to PA and SB change emerged. One participant noted that poor health contributed to a lack of engagement and stated “[the FitBit™] is a good thing for people who are fitness conscious. Unfortunately, due to my health situation, I’m not one of those people.” This was also echoed in Orme and colleagues’18 study that reported many participants felt too overwhelmed or unwell to engage fully with their wearable device intervention.

In order to implement successful behavior change interventions that promote the use of health services, it is important to base interventions on a model that encompasses all possible influences of behavior (i.e., both internal and external influences). Even commonly applied behavioral theories may be missing potential influences. For example, the theory of planned behavior does not consider emotional processing. Michie and colleagues’ (2005) theoretical domains framework (TDF) aims to cover the full range of possible influences of behavior without excluding potentially important variables, including 128 explanatory constructs drawn from 33 different psychological theories. From those, a set of constructs were identified as being particularly relevant to changing the behavior of healthcare professionals and were nested under a set of 12 domains: knowledge; skills; social/professional role and identity; beliefs about capabilities; beliefs about consequences; motivation and goals; memory, attention and decision processes; environmental context and resources; social influences; emotion; behavioral regulation; and nature of the behaviors (see Michie et al., 2005 or Cane et al., 2012 for an overview of the domains). This framework has successfully been used in studies that explore HCP behavior (e.g. French et al., 2012; Islam et al., 2012; Michie et al., 2007) and to develop intervention strategies (Templeton et al., 2016).
Behavior Change Techniques Used in Binge Drinking Interventions among College Students: A Systematic Review

The concept of “attitudes” appears as a major determinant of health behaviors in a number of theories such as the Health Belief Model, Theory of Planned Behavior, and Social Cognitive Theory. Previously, a meta-analysis of prospective studies using the Reasoned Action Approach (a recent iteration of the Theory of Planned Behavior) found constructs in the model predicted 31% of the variance in health behaviors and 59% of the variance in intentions, among which affective (r+ = 0.546) and cognitive attitudes (r+ = 0.384) had a medium effect on intentions, and affective (r+ = 0.299) and cognitive attitudes (r+ = 0.195) had a small-to-medium effect on behavior (McEachan et al., 2016). In a separate meta-analysis of experimental evidence (i.e. intervention studies), it was reported that changing attitudes across a number of health behaviors typically resulted in having a medium (d= 0.48) effect on changing intentions, and a small-to-medium effect on changing health behavior (d= 0.38) (Sheeran et al., 2016). Because this category was so frequently used, it may indicate binge drinking interventions are over-relying on informing participants about the negative consequences of binge drinking to change behavior, and subsequently missing opportunities to incorporate other theoretical determinants of health and BCTs.
