“…The TPB has been used extensively to predict intentions and consumption behaviors. Previous TPB-based research has explained speeding intentions [21], travel mode choices [22], drinking and driving behaviors [23], seat belt usage [24], and the adoption of electric vehicles [1]. This study's conceptual framework is premised on the TPB, and is directed at evaluating emerging country business students' intentions and behaviors toward green vehicles.…”

Environmental awareness and changing attitudes toward "green consumption" are becoming evident in emerging countries' markets. Using an extended theory of planned behavior, this paper aims to examine emerging countries' business students' intentions to purchase green vehicles. Stratified random sampling was used to select study participants, and data were collected through face-to-face interviews. Results revealed that environmental knowledge and awareness have a significant influence on business students' favorable attitudes toward green vehicles. Further, a significant association between attitudes toward green vehicles, perceived behavioral controls, and intentions to purchase green vehicles was observed. Findings serve to inform managers and policy makers who are formulating strategies for maximizing value creation in an era of increasingly environmentally aware consumers in emerging markets. Ultimately, this policy will help to promote green technology initiatives, and encourage higher rates of adoption of eco-friendly vehicles in emerging countries.

“…Among more recent studies, Elliot and Thomson [46] examination of offending drivers' speeding behavior has shown that self-efficacy to be a significant predictor of intention and behavior and the effects of perceived controllability to be insignificant. Okamura et al, [47] investigated the influential factors of seatbelt use and confined the PBC construct to only self-efficacy. Results showed that self-efficacy has a positive significant effect on intention and behavior.…”

“…In the field of driving behaviour, TPB has been employed to explain speeding (Conner et al ., ; Elliott, Armitage, & Baughan, ; Letirand & Delhomme, ), drinking and driving (Castanier, Deroche, & Woodman, ; Marcil, Bergeron, & Audet, ; Moan & Rise, ), dangerous overtaking, and tailgating (Parker, Manstead, Stradling, Reason, & Baxter, ), the use of mobile phones (Walsh, White, Hyde, & Watson, ; Zhou, Wu, Rau, & Zhang, ) and aggressive behaviour at the wheel (Efrat & Shoham, ; Parker, Lajunen, & Stradling, ). This theory is also invoked to explain the behaviour of pedestrians on the public highway (Evans & Norman, ; Holland, Hill, & Cooke, ; Moyano‐Diaz, ), the wearing of seat belts (Brijs, Daniels, Brijs, & Wets, ; Okamura, Fujita, Kihira, Kosuge, & Mitsui, ; Şimşekoğlu & Lajunen, ) and driving without a licence (Tseng, Chang, & Woo, ).…”

“…Numerous studies have recorded the formation of habits (Åberg, ; Castanier et al ., ; Conner et al ., ; Delhomme, Cristea, & Paran, ; Dinh & Kubota, ; Elliott & Thomson, ; Horvath, Lewis, & Watson, ; Nemme & White, ; Okamura et al ., ; Palat & Delhomme, ; Xu, Li, & Zhang, ; Zhou et al ., ), whether it be explicitly (i.e., by directly citing this concept) or implicitly (i.e., by only including one measurement, without mentioning the concept, and/or without having the aim of demonstrating the importance of habits). The results obtained converge massively in favour of the inclusion of the concept of habit as a direct predictor of behaviours (i.e., distinct from behavioural intention).…”

This study addresses the socio-cognitive determinants of traffic offences, in particular of speeding and drinking and driving. It has two aims: (1) to test the hypothesis of a direct effect of habits on offences (i.e., independent of intentions) by employing a specific measure of habits (i.e., the SRIH) and (2) to analyse the offences by taking account of three distinct parameters: Frequency, usual magnitude (i.e., the most frequent deviation from the law) and maximal magnitude (i.e., the greatest deviation occasionally adopted) in order to represent more accurately the variability of the offending behaviours. A total of 642 drivers replied to a questionnaire. The results corroborate the idea that intention and habit are distinct and direct determinants of offences. The use of the SRIH dismisses the criticisms made with regard to the measure of past behaviour. The distinction between the three behavioural parameters proves to be relevant, as their determinants are not exactly similar. Finally, attitude and subjective norm had direct effects on the maximal magnitude and/or on the frequency of the offence. The discussion concerns the contribution of this study to the analysis of offences as well as its limitations and addresses the theoretical plausibility of the direct effects of attitude and the subjective norm.
