“…In line with identity theory (Stryker, 1968), the self can be considered as a social construct related to the individuals' different roles in social contexts. Roles are formed by internalised expectations about role-appropriate behaviour (Simon, 1992); therefore, the more significant the identity, the more it should enhance the intention to implement the associated behaviours (Charng, Piliavin, & Callero, 1988).…”

Rationale: The present studies aimed to contribute to the literature on psychological variables involved in reducing red meat consumption (RMC).Objective: Study 1 investigated whether the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), plus healthy-eating and meat-eating identities, could explain intentions to reduce RMC. Study 2 evaluated the effectiveness of an SMS intervention on self-monitoring to reduce RMC.Methods: In Study 1, data were collected daily using online food diaries for one week and a TPB questionnaire. Study 2 was a randomised controlled trial assessing pre and post RMC and TPB constructs by online food diaries and questionnaires over a one-week period. Participants were Italian undergraduates in each study (Study 1: N = 405; Study 2: N = 244). In Study 2, participants were randomly allocated to control and message condition groups. Participants in the message condition group received a daily SMS, which reminded them to monitor RMC, while participants in the control group did not receive any message. Only students who completed all measures were considered in the analyses (Study 1: N = 342; Study 2: N = 228).Results: Study 1 showed that affective and instrumental attitudes, perceived behavioural control and meat-eating identity explained intentions to reduce RMC, while subjective norm, past behaviour and healthy-eating identity did not. Study 2 showed that an SMS intervention was effective in increasing intentions and reducing RMC. Mediation analyses indicated partial serial mediation through healthy-eating and meat-eating identities and intentions.Conclusion: The present studies provide support for the predictive validity of TPB in explaining intentions to reduce RMC and for the efficacy of an SMS intervention targeting self-monitoring in reducing RMC. Findings confirmed the important role of eating identities in explaining intentions to reduce RMC and in changing this behaviour.

“…Additionally, although we know that vocational identity change is a path-dependent process, there is a dearth of research on identity change in response to events that almost immediately "strip" a person of his or her closely held and valued vocational identity, thus breaking his or her career path (e.g., entrepreneurial failure). Vocational identity can be defined in terms of both work role-"a set of expectations about behavior, attitudes, and values associated with a specified position (Schlenker and Gutek 1987: 287;Stryker 1968;Cantor and Mischel 1979)-and organizational identification, "a psychological state wherein the individual perceives himself or herself to be part of a larger whole" (Rousseau 1998: 217;Dutton et al 1994). …”
