Theory of Planned Behavior

The construct in which intentions to perform behaviors of different kinds can be predicted with high accuracy from attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; and these intentions, together with perceptions of behavioral control, account for considerable variance in actual behavior. (from Ajzen, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, V.50, Issue 2, p.179-211.)
