The effect of (negative) emotion on pro-environmental behavior : an application of the theory of planned behavior
2016
With climate change becoming ever-present as a huge environmental issue for the modern era to address, pro-environmental behavior (PEB) is becoming an increasingly relevant area. There seems to be a divergence between how different actors try and encourage PEB when using emotion as the motivational tool. Therefore, the current study aimed to explore this effect of (negative) emotion on decision making. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) was used as the theoretical framework, with the primary research aim testing whether emotion affects the theory, and if this is a direct effect on intentions. Within the existing research, environmental values are also found to be potentially linked with t…
When intentions turn into action: pathways to successful firm performance
2021
Entrepreneurship brings wealth to nations and contributes to their economic growth. People can take many paths to become entrepreneurs. Some join the family business, whilst others are born entrepreneurs, letting their innate intuition lead them into firm creation. For many, though, being able to learn and acquire the right skills is critical for a successful career as an entrepreneur. Like other human capital factors, entrepreneurial skills can be acquired. In today’s fast-changing society, it is of utmost importance for entrepreneurs not only to gain these skills but also to be surrounded by a supportive environment that will (1) guide them in the creation of their business idea and (2) h…
Influencia de la cultura en el comportamiento de compra online de productos turísticos. El caso de España y México
2014
Conocer cómo se comporta el consumidor en los entornos virtuales es fundamental para potenciar el desarrollo e implantación de decisiones estratégicas de marketing que sean eficaces en la comercialización de bienes y servicios en Internet. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo conocer la importancia de la cultura en el comportamiento de compra online del individuo, analizando para ello dos países latinos: México y España. De este modo, partiendo de la Teoría de Comportamiento Planificado, se estudia el efecto de la actitud, de la norma subjetiva y del control percibido, sobre el comportamiento de reserva/compra online de alojamiento turístico, comparando la importancia adquirida en cada p…
Caracterización funcional de GTPBP3: una proteína G implicada en la modificación de tRNAs mitocondriales.
2015
Determinadas enfermedades mitocondriales, como MELAS (mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes), MERRF (myoclonus epilepsy associated with ragged-red-fibers), cardiomiopatía hipertrófica y acidosis láctica dependiente de GTPBP3, cardiomiopatía hipertrófica infantil y acidosis láctica dependiente de MTO1 y fallo hepático infantil agudo dependiente de TRMU, están asociadas con una disfunción severa del sistema de fosforilación oxidativa (OXPHOS) que, se cree, podría ser resultado de defectos en la modificación postranscripcional de la uridina localizada en la posición de tambaleo (U34) de ciertos tRNAs mitocondriales (mt-tRNAs) y, por consiguiente, de u…
Effects of Chinese youth consumer recycling behavior decisions : application of TPB theory to beverage container recycling system adoption
2016
Increasing municipal waste is a challenge that China is facing during decades, especially along with the economic growth. Although recycling is apparently an efficient method to deal with the problem, 2% of solid waste recycled in China revealed there is barrier in the path. The recycling system is developing in China by government and companies, hence understanding and predicting Chinese consumers’ acceptance of the system is necessary. This research is aim to understand the Chinese youth consumers’ recycling behavior through the view on beverage container recycling behavior. Hypothesizes in this study is proposed according to the theoretical framework of the TPB, which is attitude toward …
Dual processing approach to sedentary behavior and physical activity in the workplace
2023
Regular physical activity is an important health promoting behavior. Yet, many adults live sedentary lifestyles, especially during their workday. The current study applies an extended theory of planned behavior model, incorporating affective attitudes and instrumental attitudes, along with habit, to predict limiting sedentary behavior and physical activity within an office environment. Theory of planned behavior constructs and habit were assessed with an online survey on a sample of 180 full-time office workers, with self-reported behavior assessed 1 week later (Mage = 25.97, SDage = 10.24; 44 males, 134 females, and 2 nonbinary). Model fit was indicated by BRMSEA (M = 0.057, SD = 0.023), B…
Increasing non-exercise physical activity : extended theory of planned behaviour model testing and the role of stress within sedentary parents
2015
Although much research has been done in studying physical activity and its health benefits, inactive behaviour has obtained little attention. The main purpose of the present study is to test the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) in predicting sedentary behaviour to a group of parents with young children and a sedentary job. The secondary purpose of this study is to explore if stress explains additional variation when is entered as an additional variable between intention and sedentary behaviour. The sample consisted of 68 sedentary adults with young children, both men (N = 29) and women (N = 39), (M = 37.8 years and SD = 5.8). Participants were divided into two groups: an experimental group…
Modelling the influence of automaticity of behaviour on physical activity motivation, intention and actual behaviour
2014
In research and in practise social-cognitive models, such as the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), are used to predict physical activity behaviour. These models mainly focus on reflective cognitive processes. As a reflective process, intention is thought to be the most proximal predictor to behaviour. Nevertheless, research suggests that the relation between intention and actual behaviour, the so called intention-behaviour gap, is moderate. Many health-related actions in daily life are performed repetitively and with minimal forethought. In contrast to social-cognitive theories, dual-process theories suggest that behaviour is based on both reflective and automatic processes. Recent researc…
