• What role do subjective norms play in the TPB?

• Subjective norms in the TPB reflect social pressure to perform a behaviour.
• Match the TPB component with its description:

  Attitudes ↔️ Evaluation of behaviour

  Subjective Norms ↔️ Social pressure perception

  Perceived Behavioural Control ↔️ Belief in ability
• Order the steps of how TPB components influence behaviour:

  1️⃣ Positive attitudes, strong norms, and high PBC

  2️⃣ Stronger intentions

  3️⃣ Actual behaviour
• What is the role of subjective norms in the TPB?

  Social pressure perception
• Higher perceived behavioural control leads to stronger intentions to engage in or cease a behaviour
• Family support is an example of a subjective norm that encourages quitting smoking.
• Match the TPB component with its influence:

  Attitudes ↔️ Strengthens intentions

  Subjective Norms ↔️ Creates supportive environment

  Perceived Behavioural Control ↔️ Builds confidence
• Order the steps of how TPB components influence behaviour:

  2️⃣ Stronger intentions

  3️⃣ Actual behaviour

  Personal evaluations
• A more positive attitude toward a behaviour strengthens the intention to engage in or cease that behaviour
