ISRI - Information Systems Research Indicators

Construct: Perceived Behavioral Control

Description
Indicators

Note 1: Following are presented the definitions found for the construct in the used references, together with the theory/model.
Note 2: The same construct can be present in more than one theory/model.
Note 3: If the construct was not proposed in the original theory/model, it is identified as "Additional to theory/model".

Definition: Reflects perceptions of internal and external constraints on behavior.

Theory/model: DTPB
Reference: (Taylor & Todd, 1995b)

Definition: Refers to the perceived ease or difficulty of performing the behavior and it is assumed to reflect past experience as well as anticipated impediments and obstacles.

Theory/model: TPB
Reference: (Ajzen, 1991)

Note 1: This list contains all the indicators (measuring variables) as defined by the authors when proposing/using/applying a theory/model in a context. It also includes the scales used to measure the variables.
Note 2: Some of the indicators are context-dependent.
Note 3: The same construct can be present in more than one theory/model.
