  • Title: Implementation intentions, occupational stress, and the exercise intention-behavior relationship.
    Author: Budden JS, Sagarin BJ.
    Journal: J Occup Health Psychol; 2007 Oct; 12(4):391-401. PubMed ID: 17953497.
    Abstract:
    Many individuals intend to exercise, but fail to link this intention to behavior. The present study examined the impact of an implementation intention intervention (i.e., instructions to form specific if-then plans) on an exercise intention-behavior relationship among working adults who varied in reported occupational stress levels. Results indicated that implementation intentions backfired, such that participants who did not form an implementation intention exercised significantly more than participants who formed an implementation intention.
