“…Looking at the individual factors from our analysis, subjective norm found as a weighty antecedent (highest impact) in shaping people's adoption to SD directly through the effect on their intention and their actual SD behavior in the recent outbreak of COVID-19. This result is consistent with other empirical studies in various settings (McBride et al, 2020;De Vivo et al, 2016). Reflecting on the results of De Vivo et al (2016) and McBride et al (2020), this study shows that perceiving social stress and participating in regular physical activity are critical factors in determining their motivation to engage with the behavior along with actual behavior for physical activity.…”

Some studies have reported a lack of statistical significance between subjective norms and intention to behave (Pavlou & Fygenson, 2006).…”

“…Grounded on TPB, we adopted the constructs' attitude toward social distancing (ATD), subjective norms (SND), perceived behavioral control (BCD), intention to social distancing (ITD), and actual social distancing behavior (ACD) alike from prior studies (Kirk & Haegele, 2019;McBride et al, 2020).
