Definition: Attitude toward behavior, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control create an individual's behavioral intentions and behaviors.
Ajzen, I. (2011). Theory of planned behavior. Handbook of Theories of Social Psychology: Vol One, 1, 438-459.
Application: Theory of Planned Behavior can be used in community development because it can help predict individual's intention and explain human behavior. Furthermore, the theory of planned behavior can help explain the individual's behavior because the equation (part of the theory) includes "social norm" as an important variable.
Adaptation: This theory can be used in dietary domains as well. For example, if someone has a positive attitude towards their nutritional behavior as well as perceived social pressure that they should be eating healthier, it will create better nutrition behaviors.
