Intention <--> Action missing bridges
On a course I took during my college' life I learned some expert (in psychology I guess) believe that people's behavior are better explained from their intention to do so, and intention is a function of normative belief and ..... (something I forget)
==> Sorry ('coz it seems that I have difficulty accessing to the knowledge trace) to Fishbein & Ajzen (who first talked about it) and 'Mrs. Susi' (the lecturer of my course from which I got the idea to write about this)
Therefore, to predict or even making intervention to change a man's behavior, one need to assess their intention.
Well, I thought for a while their formulation of how to change a man's behavior is something accurate. But now, realizing myself that I have all the intentions needed for my own development but still lacking at steps I take, I see it as an overcalculation of the so called intention.
How do I come up with this?
First of all, I'd like to share that I have target (that is not specific enough) for this year 0f 2k6. Though it's not as specific as it can be, but still I have some goals to be achieved. To put it in a very global level, I would like to be a permanent staff of my office and would like to go on a journey expanding myself at a world class universities (through somekind of scholarships).
And to achieve the goals, I have put my plans into smaller parts that will end (if all goes well) at the goals I mentioned above. I have put those parts into specific actions need to be done soon enough.
The main problem was it has been a month since we all first enter the year of 2006 but I haven't seen any light of hope (that my goals are getting closer to me).True, it is true that I haven't done of give good enough effort to get my dreams realized. I have not followed up the process to talk to the person in charge, still not preparing the documents needed to be assessed,etc.
Why? I have the intention, I have the need, I have it all.
So why is it so? That I have the intention but still lacking of action. There must be somethin' missing here.
Or I got it all wrong (I mean I missed something in the courses). Is this intention only predicting 'predictions'? Or only measures likelihood of possibility?
So what is or what are the missing bridges?
