The results indicated that Ajzen's theory of planned behavior in the domain of health performs very well for the explanation of intention and the efficiency of the theory varies between health-related behavior categories.

It is concluded that supplementing PMT with implementation intentions strengthens the ability of the model to explain behaviour, which has implications for health education programmes, which should aim to increase both participants' motivation and their volition.

668 Citations1997Sheina Orbell, Sarah Hodgkins +1 more
Results supported Gollwitzer's contention that goal intentions that have been supplemented by implementation intentions concerning where and when the behavior is to be performed are more likely to be enacted and reduced the capacity of past behavior to predict future behavior.
European Journal of Social PsychologyGood intentions, bad habits, and effects of forming implementation intentions on healthy eating
501 Citations1999Bas Verplanken, Suzanne Faes
The effects of implementation intentions and counterintentional habits were independent, suggesting that implementation intentions did not break the negative influence of unhealthy habits, and yet managed to make those with unhealthy habits eat healthier in habit-unrelated respects.

Two experiments based upon Gollwitzer's (1993) concept of implementation intentions supported the view that participants who formed implementation intentions were less likely to miss taking a vitamin C pill every day compared to controls.

In order to increase the predictiveness of models, future research should combine variables from several theories, attend to the psychometrics of all variables, and incorporate variables that moderate the relationship of psychosocial to dietary behavior.

It is argued that physical exercise habits are capable of being automatically activated by the situational features that normally precede these behaviours, and may enhance health as a result of consistent performance over a long period of time.

Health PsychologyUsing implementation intentions to increase attendance for cervical cancer screening.
356 Citations2000Paschal Sheeran, Sheina Orbell
Findings show that the theory of planned behavior variables and previous delay behavior provided good prediction of attendance, however, despite equivalent motivation to attend, participants who formed implementation intentions were much more likely to attend for screening compared with controls.
AppetitePsychosocial Determinants of Fruit and Vegetable Consumption
262 Citations1995Johannes Brug, Lilian Lechner +1 more
It is concluded that nutrition education aimed at stimulating fruit and vegetable consumption should focus especially on changing attitudes and self efficacy expectations.
Health PsychologyEvidence that implementation intentions reduce dietary fat intake: A randomized trial.
235 Citations2004Christopher J. Armitage
Results showed that, after 1 month, fat intake, saturatedfat intake, and the proportion of energy derived from fat decreased significantly in the experimental group but not in the control group, and this difference could not be explained by differences in motivation between the 2 groups.
Journal of Nutrition Education and BehaviorPredicting Fruit Consumption: Cognitions, Intention, and Habits
195 Citations2006Johannes Brug, Emely de Vet +2 more
The results confirm that Theory of Planned Behavior constructs predict fruit intake, and that habit strength and different self-efficacy expectations may be additional determinants relevant to fruit intake.
Nutrition and HealthA Short Dutch Questionnaire to Measure Fruit and Vegetable Intake: Relative Validity Among Adults and Adolescents
192 Citations2002Patricia van Assema, Johannes Brug +3 more
It is concluded that the available FFQ's have only limited capability to make valid assessment of F&V intake levels, and it needs further revision, especially to be used for valid measurement of vegetable intake as well as total F &V intake among adults.

183 Citations2004Rik Bogers
The authors conclude that the questionnaire appears to be suitable for ranking individuals according to their consumption of fruits and vegetables and according to changes in their consumption, however, the validity of the questionnaire remains to be established in males, other age groups, and populations of lower educational levels.

Investigation of how well Theory of Planned Behavior predicted frequency of consumption of fruits and vegetables among seventh graders and whether gender or socioeconomic status had moderating effects on the relationships between the constructs in the model found strong relationships between subjective norms or barriers and intentions.
Journal of Nutrition EducationMisconceptions of Fruit and Vegetable Consumption: Differences between Objective and Subjective Estimation of Intake
135 Citations1997Lilian Lechner, Johannes Brug +1 more
It is concluded that nutrition education aimed at stimulating fruit and vegetable consumption should especially focus on making people aware of their own fruit and vegetables intake, in addition to changing attitudes and self-efficacy expectations.

The findings support the applicability of the stages-of-change model to dietary change among rural African-Americans and the relationship between stage, self-efficacy, social support, and barriers supports using a multicomponent intervention strategy.
