This report will endeavour to explain the theory of planned behaviour. The report will outline a detailed explanation of the theory highlighting all aspects of the theory in some detail with examples. The report will delve into the applications of the theory of planned behaviour. The report will highlight the necessary steps in obtaining information needed for the application of the theory. The theory will then be used to provide an explanation of the behaviour. Strengths and weakness will be covered
