“…(Perceived behavioral control did not emerge as a significant predictor of behavior directly.) Other researchers (e.g., Prislin & Kovrlija, 1992;Webb et al, 2007) have also tested the utility of the TPB in predicting class attendance, and have found differential impact of the TPB predictors, in conjunction with other factors (e.g., self-monitoring, personality), on intentions and behavior.…”

“…Despite all the equivocality about the relevance of the main variables, the authors found support for intention being the best predictor of behaviour. Several other studies, too, applying TPB to the educational sector found that intention is an important determinant of educational outcome (Graham et al, 1995;Morgan, 1985;Webb et al, 2007). Generally, the relationship between intention and behaviour is rather large in educational settings (Cohen, 1992;Webb et al, 2007).…”

“…However, empirical results indicate, that large goal intentionsare not necessarily linked to behaviour. For instance, Webb et al (2007) examined class attendance, and their findings put into perspective the effects of having a high level of motivation: "As expected, students were highly motivated to attend class; however, attendance rates were low" (Webb et al,p. 323).…”

“…The second aspect which underlines the relevance of the construct is the fact that it proved to be useful in practical applications. Webb et al (2007) were the first who tested implementation intentions' relevance in a class-room context. They found that making plans helped students to turn up for class.…”

“…They found that making plans helped students to turn up for class. It is straightforward to argue that this kind of intention also is useful to promote other daily activities of students, that is studying or preparing for exams, respectively (Webb et al, 2007). Furthermore, implementation intentions are easy-to-handle.…”

Studies show that many students struggle with properly organizing their academic activities; what makes things even worse is that up to 90% of students are at least part-time procrastinators. In order to clarify how these students could be supported, the article at hand deals with the influences and possible benefits of implementation intentions in an academic learning context and substantiates the literature discussion with data collected among students. Aiming at studying the antecedents of academic performance from a cognitive perspective, the research complements an extended form of the Theory of Planned Behaviour by integrating procrastination and experience. Unlike many other studies, this paper does not focus on reasons for nor different forms of procrastination, but rather develops a comprehensive framework for understanding academic learning. A structural equation modelling approach is applied for this purpose using an empirical data base. For the outcome of this research different hypotheses are investigated especially in reference to implementation intentions. In the majority of cases the theories presented during the literature review can be substantiated with the empirical data used for the study. Key findings are the significant influences of goal intentions, as well as experience, and their positive effect on implementation intentions. Furthermore, the negative influence of procrastination is underlined by the results of the paper and identified as a major problem for college students. Other findings of the paper are the effects of subjective norms and PBC (Perceived Behaviour Control) on the formation of goal intentions. Nevertheless, the study brings up several further questions and identifies areas where research should be deepened, that is behaviour itself.

Mental contrasting with implementation intentions (MCII) has been found to improve selfregulation across many life domains. The present research investigates whether MCII can benefit time management. In Study 1, we asked students to apply MCII to a pressing academic problem and assessed how they scheduled their time for the upcoming week. MCII participants scheduled more time than control participants who in their thoughts either reflected on similar contents using different cognitive procedures (content control group) or applied the same cognitive procedures on different contents (format control group). In Study 2, students were taught MCII as a metacognitive strategy to be used on any upcoming concerns of the subsequent week. As compared to the week prior to the training, students in the MCII (vs. format control) condition improved in self-reported time management. In Study 3, MCII (vs. format control) helped working mothers who enrolled in a vocational business program to attend classes more regularly.The findings suggest that performing MCII on one's everyday concerns improves time management.
