Theory constructs and annotations

• External variables
• Beliefs [ MF:0000041 (Belief) 35 72 33 34 73 1 14 28 30 31 42 54 67 79 ]
• Self-efficacy The belief that one can perform the behaviour, even under a number of difficultŽ circumstances [ BCIO:006154 (Self-efficacy belief for a behaviour) 35 49 31 32 29 3 30 34 25 ]
• Attitude towards the behaviour The overall feelings of favourableness or unfavourableness towards performing the behaviour [ BCIO:050329 (Attitude towards a behaviour) 35 79 ]
• Perceived norms Perceived opinions of the 'normal' behaviour of others, including both perceptions of what others think one should do and perceptions of what others are doing [ BCIO:006039 (Perceived norm) 35 , BCIO:006042 (Normative belief) 35 79 73 81 30 1 50 29 3 14 ]
• Intention The expressed motivation to perform the behaviour [ BCIO:006016 (Behavioural intention) 35 41 24 46 29 28 ]
• Environmental constraints Factors in the environment that prevent the behaviour from being carried out [ BCIO:050577 (Behavioural barrier) 35 29 45 39 6 4 ]
• Behaviour Anything a person does in response to internal/external events [ BCIO:036000 (Individual Human Behaviour) 35 50 11 49 42 47 52 43 46 24 25 39 30 ]
• Skills and abilities Abilities or proficiencies that facilitate performance of the behaviour [ MF:0000043 (Personal capability) 35 29 31 30 ]
• Demographic variables Variables relating to the human population with regard to various factors and characteristics such as sex and age distribution [ BCIO:050893 (socio-demographic characteristic) 35 12 27 ]
• Attitudes towards targets The traditional attitudinal variables that play an indirect role in influencing behaviour [ BCIO:050328 (Attitude) 35 72 4 80 2 1 29 64 ]
• Personality traits Relatively stable, consistent and enduring internal characteristics that are inferred from a pattern of behaviours, attitudes, feelings, habits in the individual [ MF:0000202 (Personality) 35 33 60 17 ]
• Other individual differences The variety of demographic, psychological, and/or behavioral dimensions that are shared by all people, but upon which individuals differ in ways that influence their health
• Efficacy beliefs Perceptions relating to one's possession of the necessary skills and abilities to perform the behaviour, even in the face of specific barriers or obstacles [ BCIO:006154 (Self-efficacy belief for a behaviour) 35 49 31 32 29 3 30 34 25 ]
• Behavioural beliefs Evaluations of the possible outcomes of the behaviour (e.g. beliefs that the behaviour will lead to positive outcomes and prevent negative ones) [ BCIO:006148 (Evaluative belief about the consequences of a behaviour) 35 77 42 39 66 80 1 74 79 ]
• Normative beliefs Perceptions of social pressures or other's beliefs that one should or should not perform a behaviour [ BCIO:006042 (Normative belief) 35 24 ]
• Injunctive norms [ BCIO:006041 (perceived evaluative behavioural norm) 35 ]
• Descriptive norms [ BCIO:006040 (perceived descriptive behavioural norm) 35 ]
