Theory of reasoned action

Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals that we have “duties to ourselves” which leads some actions to be wrong; however, these actions do not concern to anyone but ourselves. Giving a loan to oneself and promising to pay it back is such a duty that some might believe in, but other than that most believe there are no duties at all. The action could not be wrong if the only one person directly involved in that action agrees to it. Some might beg to differ from this argument. Kant believes that we…

given five persuasion theories, be able to offer “persuasion examples” based on those theories. Explain how the examples fit the theories. Persuasion has a long history and also has been created into theories by many scholars. Persuasion theories had been classified into 2 types which are psychological theories and sociological theories. Psychological theories seek to demonstrate how values, attitudes and beliefs are structured and triggered. Meanwhile, sociological theories emphasize on the…

The theory of planned behavior presented by Ajzen and Fishbein (1980, 1974), which is different than their theory of reasoned action, states that in addition to subjective norms and attitude, the behaviour has to be perceived to be under control or as mentioned in Ajzen’s paper (1991) “a behavioral intention can find…

an independent unit. Such individuals engage in dissent because they are unhappy with the actions that of the government. There are several ways through which guerilla government actor’s actions can be mitigated. The first avenue is to create or cultivate an organizational culture that accepts, welcomes and encourages dissent within the organization. That includes allowing staff to challenge the actions and assumptions of the organization. In doing so, dissent can help in generating multiple…

widow’s death. Since these are potential consequences of the different actions she could take, perhaps the best moral frame to determine the morally correct action is one based on consequence; in this case, Utilitarianism. As Appiah noted, without an agreement between the spouses or implicit instructions for the journals, there is no clear duty of the widow here, only the use of best judgment—so applying a deontological theory would not result in a clear answer. Applying Mill’s Greatest…

1. Immanuel Kant, in his Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals attempts to construct a moral philosophical system built upon reason and rationality. In this paper I will explain how Kant frames this rational morality, what he means by the invocation of the categorical imperative, duty, and the moral law (note that henceforth all important conceptual terms will be capitalized for clarity). I intend to make the case that Kant’s moral philosophy, while not without flaws, largely succeeds in…

Glanz, Rimer and Lewis (2002), the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is an addition to the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA). The TRA was first introduced in 1967 by Fishbein and suggests that the most important determinant of behavior is behavioral intention, or the intent to follow a specific course of action. In 1986 Ajzen and Madden incorporated another element to the TRA, perceived behavioral control and proposed the TPB. One of the greatest values of this theory has been its ability to…
