It was more of developing the habit than anything else, if he could just get into the habit of it, of buying carrots and turnips and cabbage etcetera. (James Kelman, A Disaffection, 1989, pp. 267–8.)

295 Citations1986Icek Ajzen, Christine Timko

A contingency model for the selection of decision strategies was described and tested and suggested that when decisions are more significant, the decision cannot be reversed, and the decision maker is responsible for his actions, then the decision strategy will be more analytic and result in a greater investment of time and effort than when the opposite conditions are true.
