Theory of Planned Behavior

**Definition:** The construct in which intentions to perform behaviors of different kinds can be predicted with high accuracy from attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; and these intentions, together with perceptions of behavioral control, account for considerable variance in actual behavior. (from Ajzen, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, V.50, Issue 2, p.179-211.)
