Employing a relational and processual approach, we explore the gradual making o…

Drawing upon theorizing on action control and research on forming and maintaining habits, the PSO emphasizes consis…

When usual contexts for performance change, habits cannot be cued by recurring stimuli, and performance should be disrupted. Thus, the exercising, newspaper reading, and TV watching habits of students transferring to a new university were found to survive the transfer only when aspects of the performance cont…
