Understanding Determinants<br />

Determinants?<br />

What perceptions (attitudes, knowledge,<br />

etc.) determine a behavior. List some of<br />

the potential behavioral determinants.<br />

we will focus on:<br />

Determining Determinants:<br />

A lot of factors can influence behavior.<br />

This tool helps you consider<br />

some possibilities. Work backward<br />

from the behavior. To do a voluntary<br />

behavior, a person must intend to do<br />

it in a specific situation. That intention<br />

is influenced by personal, social<br />

and external factors. Consider first<br />

the intention you are targeting, then<br />

list the influences that might apply.<br />

Remember to reflect how external<br />

factors are filtered through personal<br />

attitudes and social norms.<br />

General, External Factors<br />

<strong>Social</strong> Influences<br />

Personal Influences<br />

Intention<br />

Behavior<br />

Step 3:<br />

In the next three boxes, list the<br />

personal, social and external<br />

factors that influence this intention.<br />

External factors would include<br />

things like gender, age, education<br />

and the price of a product.<br />

<strong>Social</strong> influences are based on the<br />

attitudes of others, such as social<br />

norms and attitudes about brands.<br />

Finally, there are the influences<br />

specific to each person, such as<br />

an individual’s psychosocial needs.<br />

Try to list as many of these as<br />

possible, remembering that external<br />

factors influence behavior<br />

only after being filtered through<br />

personal and social influences.<br />

Finally, go through you list.<br />

Step 2:<br />

What is it that the target audience<br />

intends to do? For example, you<br />

could say here that an aggressive<br />

driver intends to move quickly.<br />

Step 1:<br />

List the behavior you want to<br />

change. Remember to include both<br />

the audience and the action.
