Kicking the habit: Why evidence for habits in humans might be overestimated KU Leuven Ghent University
Modelling Context-Sensitive Dynamic Activity-Travel Behavior Under Conditions of Uncertainty Incorporating Reinforcement Learning, Habit Formation, And Behavioral and Cognitive Adaptation Strategies Hasselt University
This paper develops a framework for modelling the dynamic formation of location choicesets. The proposed framework integrates three key concepts, namely aspiration, activation and expected utility. Aspirations are defined at the level of attributes of choice alternatives and represent an individual’s beliefs about performance levels that potentially can be achieved. Activation levels are defined at the level of choice alternatives and represent ...
Adolescent soft drink consumption, television viewing and habit strength University of Antwerp
Clustering refers to the co-occurrence of behaviour and may be particularly relevant in light of the present obesity epidemic. Since evidence regarding clustering of motivational and habitual constructs within the framework of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) is limited, clustering effects of TPB cognitions and habit strength regarding soft drink consumption and television viewing were studied in a sample of Dutch adolescents (n = 312; mean ...
A systematic review and meta-analysis of applications of the self-report habit index to nutrition and physical activity behaviours University of Antwerp
Background Health behaviour models typically neglect habitual action. The Self-Report Habit Index (SRHI) permits synthesis of evidence of the influence of habit on behaviour. Purpose The purpose of this study is to review evidence around mean habit strength, habit-behaviour correlations, and habit x intention interactions, from applications of the SRHI to dietary, physical activity, and active travel behaviour. Method Electronic database ...
Examining the role of (un)conscious determinants in online gambling : complementing the theory of planned behavior with the concept of habit Ghent University
Don't make a habit out of it: Impaired learning conditions can make goal-directed behavior seem habitual KU Leuven Ghent University
Habit as resistance: Bergson's philosophy of second nature KU Leuven
© 2019 John Wiley & Sons Ltd Henri Bergson is one of the few philosophers who both explicitly and extensively discusses the phenomenon of habit. In view of his engagement with habit, does Bergson develop a philosophically robust account of the phenomenon? Most commentary on his account of habit refers to his early work, Matter and Memory. In this paper, I begin by arguing that Bergson's treatment of habit in Matter and Memory is problematic ...
Adult active transportation adding habit strength to the theory of planned behavior University of Antwerp
Background: Many health behaviors have a history of repetition and, as a result, may become habitual. Because including a measure of habit strength may add depth to current theoretical models on health behavior, the present study explored the issue of habit strength within the context of the theory of planned behavior regarding adult bicycle use as a means of transportation. Methods: Cross-sectional data were gathered in a Dutch adult sample ...
Towards parsimony in habit measurement University of Antwerp
Background: The twelve-item Self-Report Habit Index (SRHI) is the most popular measure of energy-balance related habits. This measure characterises habit by automatic activation, behavioural frequency, and relevance to self-identity. Previous empirical research suggests that the SRHI may be abbreviated with no losses in reliability or predictive utility. Drawing on recent theorising suggesting that automaticity is the 'active ingredient' of ...
