Recent research has revealed individual differences in the extent to which people base their intentions on affect and cognition. Two studies are presented that assess whether such differences predict the strength of individuals' intention-behaviour relationships. Participants completed measures of affect, cognition, intention, and behaviour regarding a range of health behaviours. Study 1 (N = 300) found that the strength of the intention-behaviour relationship was significantly related to the extent to which individuals based their intentions on affect, but not to the extent they based them on cognition. Study 2 (N = 387) replicated the findings of the first study. In addition, Study 2 revealed that intention stability mediated the relationship between the degree people based their intentions on affect and the strength of the intention-behaviour relationship. Thus, individuals who base their intentions strongly on affect have more stable intentions, and are therefore more likely to enact them.
最近的研究揭示了人们在将意图建立在情感和认知基础上的程度方面存在个体差异。本文呈现了两项研究，评估了这些差异是否能预测个体意图与行为关系的强度。参与者完成了一系列关于健康行为的情感、认知、意图和行为的测量。研究1（N = 300）发现，意图与行为关系的强度与个体将意图建立在情感基础上的程度显著相关，但与将意图建立在认知基础上的程度无关。研究2（N = 387）重复了第一项研究的结果。此外，研究2还表明，意图稳定性在人们将意图建立在情感基础上的程度与意图 - 行为关系强度之间起中介作用。因此，那些将意图强烈建立在情感基础上的个体具有更稳定的意图，所以更有可能付诸行动。
