Compared to the second hypothesis which was further enhancement of the first hypothesis “enhancement in the predictions of target behaviours” and how they “related” to the magnitude of PBC. Concluding in their study that the support that separate measurements or beliefs of a practitioner have, influence their attitude and desire to perform/partake in an activity. Concluding finally the underwhelming fact that “the TPB is an extension of the TRA”. They quote that Ajzen and Madden (1986) research was “the first to complete testing of the theory of planned behaviour”. Connor and Norman (2005: pg. 170) highlight the validity of both methods (TRA/TPB) towards the overall goal “Both models are considered deliberative processing models that imply that people’s attitudes are formed after careful consideration of the available
