“…Because parents control the outdoor activities of their children to a large extent (Ryan & Stiller, 1991), it is obvious that significant others play an important role in maintaining an observed change. Given the important role of 'significant others' and the social influences in the formation of adolescents' intention and behaviour (Aj-Zen, 1988;Smith, Sondhaus, & Porzelius, 1995;Hausenblas, et al, 1997;Smith & Biddle, 1999;Hagger, et al, 2002)) later interventions should incorporate education of members of the social environment on the behaviour at hand, i.e., provide information to parents about the benefits of exercise and the negative outcomes of unhealthy lifestyles. Theodorakis (1994) defined role identity as the integration of a repeated behaviour into the self.…”

The Theory of Planned Behavior provides a useful framework to study attitudes toward participation in physical activity. The objective of the study was to test the effectiveness of an intervention in manipulating the variables of the Theory of Planned Behavior and exercise habits with 366 high school students (M = 14.2 yr., SD = .7; 201 boys and 165 girls). The students were divided into intervention and control groups. A questionnaire to measure components of the theory, and the Baecke Questionnaire of Habitual Activity measuring exercise habits, were administered. The intervention lasted 12 wk. and included posters and lectures promoting participation in physical activity. Analyses showed the intervention was effective in improving attitudes towards physical activity, perceived behavioral control, intention, and self-reported actual behavior, but it was ineffective for improving attitude strength, subjective norms, and role identity. The results provide useful information for physical education teachers interested in promoting students' positive attitudes towards physical activity.

“…Similar in theory, the TPB suggests that in addition to attitudes and subjective norms, perceived behavioral control also contributes to the prediction of behavioral intentions (Ajzen 1991). The TPB is more predictive of intentions than the theory of reasoned action in cases in which the behavior is not completely under the actor's volitional control (for example, weight loss; Smith et al 1995;smoking;Norman et al 1999). Many behaviors, including the various forms of romantic partner abuse, may not be under complete volitional control (Tolman et al 1996).…”

Predicting Intentions of Romantic Partner Abuse with the Theory of Planned Behavior

2011

From the theory of planned behavior, attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control were identified as predictors of intentions for verbal, physical, and sexual abuse toward romantic partners. Relationships among the three predictors across the three types of abuse were examined with responses from undergraduates involved in romantic relationships. The theory of planned behavior accounted for substantial variance associated with intentions to abuse romantic partners. Moreover, the components of the theory of planned behavior were differentially predictive of the three forms of abuse, which also varied by sex. A recommendation is that interventions should target different components of the theory of planned behavior depending on the type of abuse they are attempting to prevent.Keywords Theory of planned behavior . Romantic partner abuse . Intimate partner abuseIn the United States, approximately 7.7 million intimate partner related physical assaults occur each year (Tjaden and Thoennes 2000). Although the majority of these crimes are nonlethal, a small proportion (1,510 in 2005) results in death (Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics 2009). In response to these statistics, questions arise as to the factors that predict partner abuse so that these factors can be targeted by prevention strategies. The theory of planned behavior (TPB) is a general theory of social behavior that has been effective in predicting and explaining a host of behaviors (Ajzen 1991). Hence, the constructs central to the theory of planned behavior may also serve as effective predictors of partner abuse.

“…1,2 One group of behavioural traits that may generate imbalance in the energy regulation by increasing energy intake, and hence possibly relate to obesity and weight gain, are abnormal eating patterns such as restrained eating, binge eating and night eating. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] The night-eating syndrome was described in 1955 as a condition characterised by morning anorexia (minimal or no calorie intake at breakfast), evening hyperphagia (at least 50% of daily calorie intake after the evening meal) and insomnia, and it has later been broadened to include night time awakenings with food intake. [11][12][13][14] Several studies have used this definition and found frequencies of the night-eating syndrome ranging from 8 to 27% among obese patients.…”

Night eating and weight change in middle-aged men and women

OBJECTIVE:To examine the association between the habit of eating at night, and the 5-y preceding and 6-y subsequent weight changes in a middle-aged population, with particular focus on the obese. DESIGN: Prospective study with initial examination of the cohort in 1982-83, re-examination in 1987-88 and a third examination in 1992-93. SUBJECTS: The Danish MONICA cohort includes an age-and sex-stratified random sample of the population from the Western part of the Copenhagen County. Out of 2987 subjects participating in 1987-88, a total of 1050 women and 1061 men had been examined in 1982-83, and 1993-94 too. Subjects working night shifts were excluded. MEASUREMENTS: Night eating in 1987-88, 5-y preceding and 6-y subsequent weight change. RESULTS: In total, 9.0% women and 7.4% men reported 'getting up at night to eat'. Obese women with night eating experienced an average 6-y weight gain of 5.2 kg (P ¼ 0.004), whereas only 0.9 kg average weight gain was seen among obese women who did not get up at night to eat. No significant associations were found among all women, or between night eating and the 5-y preceding weight change for women. Night eating and weight change were not associated among men. CONCLUSION: Night eating was not associated with later weight gain, except among already obese women, suggesting that getting up at night to eat may be a contributor to further weight gain among the obese.
