TPB is a revision of TRA that was made after Ajzen and Fishbein identified and addressed gaps in the TRA model. TRA is designed to predict voluntary behavior but when Ajzen and Fishbein accounted for the fact that not all behavior was completely voluntary or under the actors’ control, they modified TRA into TPB, which accounts for

Disney Movies This study set out to examine the differences of gender stereotyping between old and new Disney movies. As a group, we watched nine movies in total. We watched one together, to test our observer reliability. Once confirming observer reliability was over eighty percent, we each watched two films on our own, one “new” Disney movie and one “old” and shared data.

Across both the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) and its descendant the Theory of Planned Behavior, people are portrayed to behave in ways that they intended to (thus said to have planned doing as such), with their intentions dependent on how favorably they view the behavior based on what outcomes it would bring (attitudes), how people they consult with would act in the same situation (norms), and how much they believe in their ability to act (behavioral control). The causal path is then clear: People
