- Volitional control is when a person is able to decide at will if they will engage in a behaviour
Behavioural Control (within the Theory of Planned Behaviour) and self-efficacy are similar, and only differ in that:

- Beliefs one has that help or hinder the performance of the behaviour; they impact perception of how easy/difficult it is to carry out the behaviour

c) control beliefs
d) behavioural control
d) behavioural control
- because volitional control was not enough to predict or understand behaviour
Which of the following is not a limitation of the Theory of Planned Behaviour?
a) doesn’t account for some important variable that influence behaviour, such as emotions, socio-economic factors or experience
b) assumes that behaviour is a linear process (not dynamic) and doesn’t outline timings
