Habits and Reflective Processes in COVID-19 Transmission-reducing Behaviors: Examining Theoretical Predictions in a Representative Sample of the Population of Scotland (2023)
Journal Article
den Daas, C., Dixon, D., Hubbard, G., Allan, J., & Johnston, M. (2023). Habits and Reflective Processes in COVID-19 Transmission-reducing Behaviors: Examining Theoretical Predictions in a Representative Sample of the Population of Scotland. Annals of Behavioral Medicine, 57(11), 910–920. https://doi.org/10.1093/abm/kaad025

Background
Based on theory, COVID-19 transmission-reducing behaviors (TRBs) should become habitual because of their frequent performance. Habits have been hypothesized to develop through reflective processes and, to act in conjunction with them....
