A careful consideration of studies on behavioral prediction in the existing literature suggests that behavioral control is often included as one of the many key factors involved in the theorization of consumer behavior. However, little effort has been dedicated to enrich and progress our understanding ...
Ajzen also proposed that when perceived behavioral control closely reflects actual control, it will directly predict behavior. Fishbein and Ajzen proposed the reasoned action approach as a further development in their theory based on research. The reasoned action approach extends the theory of planned ...
These phenomena relate to: consistency in training, serial versus parallel processing, level of effort, robustness to stressors, degree of control, effects on long-term memory, and priority encoding. We detail a computational model of controlled processing, CAP2, that accounts for these phenomena ...
Over the last several years we have been working on the development of a theoretical account of the self-regulation of behavior. Our approach derives from many sources, including Duval and Wicklund's (1972) self-awareness theory and the broader set of ideas known as control theory or cybernetic...
Control theory provides a powerful conceptual framework and mathematical armamentarium for modeling addictive behavior. It is particularly appropriate for repetitive, rhythmic behavior that occurs over time, such as drug use. We reframe seven selected theories of addictive behavior in control theoretic ...
There appears to be general agreement among social psychologists that most human behavior is goal-directed (e. g., Heider, 1958 ; Lewin, 1951). Being neither capricious nor frivolous, human social behavior can best be described as following along lines o
A power DC-DC Buck-Boost converter is controlled using a Lyapunov-based Adaptive Backstepping Control (ABSC) technique. The system exhibits unfavorable behavior due to its non-minimum structure, necessitating a well-regulated controller to guarantee stability. ...
Answer to: According to attribution theory the explanations we make of our behavior and the behavior of others fall into two categories. What are...
A meta-analysis of the theory of planned behavior is conducted to (a) assess the robustness of the theory and (b) delineate conditions that moderate support for the theory. The results indicate that the pairwise relations featuring perceived behavioral control cannot be considered homogeneous across...
