Many theories aim to understand the beliefs underlying an intention or behavior. These theories are currently used to seek answers about how people progress from intention to practice in business environments. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is today one of the most popular socio- psychological models for the prediction of behavior.

Recommendations to the Adoption of New Software Practices: A Case Study of Team Intention and Behavior in Three Software Companies

This work aims to study and characterize a belief system of software project teams to understand the beliefs underlying an intention or practice, and seek answers about how people progress from intention to behavior in software engineering environments.

Studying attitudes and social norms in agile software development

Research on attitudes and social norms and its connection to the agile software development context is reviewed and additional theories from social psychology are proposed that would most certainly be useful for further sense-making of human factors-related research on agile teams.

Although the TRA components were not the strongest predictors of condom use intentions, the beliefs on which they are based are potentially amenable to change through information-based intervention programs.

Perceived difficulty in the theory of planned behaviour: perceived behavioural control or affective attitude?

The findings suggest that at least under some circumstances it may be inadequate to measure perceived behavioural control by means of perceived difficulty, and one possible consequence may be that the role of PBC as a predictor of intention is somewhat overestimated, whereas the roles of instrumental and affective attitudes may be similarly underestimated.
