Two studies explored the relationship between past behaviour, personality traits, intentions, and behaviour. Study 1 (N = 181) considered intentions to engage in goal - directed activity (health protection). Cognitions specified by the Theory of Planned Behaviour were examined as mediators of the relationship between past behaviour, personality, and intentions. The effect of conscientiousness on intention was partially mediated by cognitions, whereas the effect of past behavior was partially mediated by cognitions and conscientiousness. Study 2 (N = 123) examined predictions of intentions and self - reported behaviour in relation to both health protection and exercise, a more specific behaviour. In both cases, the effect of conscientiousness on intention was totally mediated, whereas the effect on behaviour was partially mediated. Similarly, the effects of past behaviour on intentions were totally mediated, whereas the effects on behaviour were partially mediated by cognitions and conscientiousness. Thus, combining personality traits and cognitions provided a more sufficient account of the determinants of intentions and behaviour.
