T386 |
0-169 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Consistent with dual-phase models [18, 19], we also tested the extent to which action planning was implicated in the process by which individuals act on their intention. |
T387 |
170-298 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Two patterns of effects were tested: mediation and moderation effects of action planning on the intention–behavior relationship. |
T388 |
299-458 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The mediation effect was significant in the U.S. sample but not the Australia sample, while the moderation effect was significant in the Australia sample only. |
T389 |
459-514 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, in both cases, the effects were small in size. |
T390 |
515-736 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The small size of the mediation effects suggests that action planning is a relatively trivial component of the link between social distancing intention and behavior, particularly when past behavior was taken into account. |
T391 |
737-895 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The moderation of the intention–behavior relationship by action planning in the Australian sample was negative in sign, which is contrary to predictions [18]. |
T392 |
896-1190 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, probing this interaction indicated that individuals with stronger intention were more likely to follow through on their social distancing behavior at both high and low levels of action planning, but the rate of increase was much steeper for low planning, which supports the prediction. |
T393 |
1191-1350 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, when the intention–behavior relationship was strongest, planning had little effect, so planning may only be effective for those with lower intentions. |
T394 |
1351-1470 |
Sentence |
denotes |
As with the mediation effect, the moderation effect was no longer present once past behavior was included in the model. |
T395 |
1471-1652 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Taken together, current results do not provide strong evidence for the role of action planning in mediating and moderating the intention–behavior relationship for social distancing. |
