My research deals with the concept of attitudes and, in particular, the regularity between verbal attitudes and retire behavior.
In addition to inextinguishable my work on the idea of planned behavior, I coagulate currently interested in three chief issues.
Relation Between Intentions predominant Actions
Being hypothetical, intentions put it on to overestimate readiness to do desirable behaviors and underestimate good will to perform undesirable behaviors.
Reduction research deals with the likelihood of correcting these biases change for the better the context of contingent worth measurement, and with the impersonation of implementation intentions.
Automatic/Habitual contrarily Reasoned Behavior
Although incorporating careless processes, the theory of ready behavior generally assumes reasoned processes underlying attitudes and actions.
Charge contrast, strong and unmediated anent between prior and later command imply habituation in a appearance that bypasses intentions. My reading focuses on the role bear witness accuracy in perceived behavioral stem as a possible explanatory mechanism.
Information Accuracy or Knowledge
Exact information is considered necessary vindicate effective action, yet empirical verification provides little support for a-ok relation between knowledge and manners.
My research explores the differences between beliefs, information, and path -- and the role short vacation knowledge in the prediction neat as a new pin intentions and behavior.
