Document Summary
Readiness to engage in a certain behaviour: what"s your perception of how likely you are to do a specific behaviour. Perceived intention: may predict actual behaviour, but intention-behaviour gap may prevent action. Measures of intention (internal consistency reliability: (gauge readiness) ex: i intend to do at least 150 minutes mpa a week, or 75 minutes vpa a week, or equivalent combination, during the next month. Extremely unlikely -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 extremely likely: i will try to do . Definitely true to definitely false : i plan to do . Intentions don"t always predict behaviour, there will be gaps sometimes. May have no intention of doing the behaviour. May intend to do the behaviour, but unable or unwilling to act on intention; not willing to follow through on their intentions. Skills and abilities; lack these so they cannot.
