“…Six studies showed that impulsivity moderates the relationship between behavioral intention and actual behavior change ( Table 1 and Table 2 c, and Figure 3 ) [ 21 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. These results spanned several disciplines, most notably substance misuse and addiction, diet, and physical activity.…”

“…Specifically, Moshier and colleagues studied the effect of impulsivity on illicit drug use and found that premeditation and sensation seeking were moderator variables affecting the pathway between the intention to stop drug use and actual drug use in the previous month [ 21 ]. Similarly, Mullan et al found that higher inhibitory control and planning ability, two elements implicit in the concept of impulsivity, resulted in less binge drinking in college students with the intention to drink [ 30 ], and Wang [ 32 ] found that lower problem-gambling severity (a proxy for impulsivity) led to less unintended sports-gambling behavior. This moderation was echoed by the findings of Churchill [ 28 , 29 ], who demonstrated greater decreases in unintended snacking [ 28 ] and increases in intended fruit and vegetable consumption [ 29 ] when urgency (or impulsivity) was lower.…”

The Moderating Power of Impulsivity: A Systematic Literature Review Examining the Theory of Planned Behavior

The theory of planned behavior (TPB) states that behavioral intention is the best predictor of actual behavior change. However, intention explains only a portion of the variance in behavior. Of specific interest is the question of which moderating or mediating variables can be leveraged to aid health promotion interventions utilizing the tenets of behavioral economics (delay discounting and commitment contracts) in the intention–behavior pathway. Impulsivity has been postulated to fill this role and may be applied to multiple behaviors. We aim to determine if impulsivity moderates the association between intention and actual behavior in the TPB, to discover what other variables may moderate or mediate this association, and to apply the findings to future studies in the field of behavioral economics. To this end, a systematic review was conducted using the PubMed, PsychINFO, and Embase online databases. Eligible studies in peer-reviewed journals published prior to November 2021 were selected. Thirty-three studies were included in the final review, examining physical activity, diet, preventive health, mental health, addiction, and medication adherence behaviors. Three main concepts emerged: (1) impulsivity moderates the association between intention and behavior change; (2) self-efficacy moderates the association between intention and behavior change; and (3) planning and self-efficacy contribute to moderated mediation. This review demonstrates a gap in the literature regarding the application of the TPB to the intention–behavior pathway for health behaviors. Future studies in behavioral economics may leverage the variables of impulsivity, self-efficacy, and planning to predict follow-through in this area and to develop targeted change initiatives.

“…MGB is one of the consumer decision-making models that extends the theory of reasoned action (TRA) and theory of planned behavior (TPB) [ 13 , 14 , 15 ], by incorporating desire, anticipated emotions, and the frequency of past behavior [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]. MGB posits that individuals’ behavior can be predicted by their behavioral intentions, perceived behavioral control, and desire, while behavioral desires are driven by their attitudes towards the behavior, subjective norms, positive and negative anticipated emotions, and perceived behavioral condition [ 9 ].…”

Physical activity is the most effective preventive medicine in enhancing our physical health and subjective wellbeing. Since 2013, the South Korean government has introduced and developed the public sports club system as a way to promote exercise and the health of the general public. The current study investigated factors underlying the general public’s desires and intentions to join or participate in a public sports club (PSC) using the model of goal-directed behavior (MGB). Data were collected from 254 college students who had prior experience of participating in at least one PSC and were primarily analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results suggest that, among the five MGB determinants, the positive anticipated emotions and perceived behavioral control were significantly associated with participants’ desires, and, in turn, their desires were significantly related to their intention to participate in PSCs. Meanwhile, the respondents’ prior experience was marginally but significantly associated with desire but not with behavioral intention. Prior knowledge (through health communications) was significantly related to attitude, desire, and behavioral intention. Overall, the findings support the use of positive anticipated emotions, perceived behavioral condition, prior knowledge, and desire as indicators of participation behavior in the PSC context, and may aid the development of health communication and interventions aimed at encouraging future participation.

Clinical Correlates of Sports Betting: A Systematic Review

et al. 2023

Sports betting is becoming increasingly widespread, and a growing number of individuals, both adolescents and adults, participate in this type of gambling. The main aim of this systematic review was to assess correlates of sports betting (sociodemographic features, gambling-related variables, co-occurring psychopathologies, and personality tendencies) through a systematic review conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. Relevant studies were identified via searches of NCBI/PubMed and APA PsycInfo databases. Individuals from the general population and/or with a clinical diagnosis of gambling disorder (GD) were included, irrespective of gender and age. In addition, the studies needed to have administered at least one clinical interview/psychometric instrument to assess the presence of problematic gambling/GD, contain at least one group of participants with sports betting, and directly analyze the association between sports betting and any of the following features: sociodemographics, gambling-related variables, co-occurring psychopathologies, and/or personality tendencies. Fifty-four articles were included. Multiple sociodemographic variables have been studied in relation to sports betting. In general, males with high impulsivity have greater tendencies for sports betting. The co-occurrence of certain pathologies, especially substance use or other addictive disorders, was also suggested. Most studies were cross-sectional, assessed participants using self-administered instruments, recruited samples using non-probability online panels, included small samples, had unbalanced samples, and included samples from only one country. Impulsive males may be particularly prone to sports gambling and related problems. Future research should examine prevention strategies that may help prevent the development of sport-betting-related GD and other addictive behaviors in vulnerable individuals.
