Abstract
In this chapter, the authors focus on one of the more cognitive mediators of behavior, dealing with the extent to which implementation intentions lead to successful execution of an intended behavior. From this viewpoint, automatic processes such as those discussed in the preceding chapters (particularly Chapters 5 and 6) are sometimes an unwanted source of interference that must be dealt with for a desired behavior to transpire. The chapter is framed as a lesson on how to overcome such interferences by creating the most efficacious forms of intentions, though a by-product of such efforts is a better understanding of the “miraculous” translation of intentions into actions. Among the phenomena discussed is the greater effectiveness of intentions that have more specific antecedent conditions (the “if” in intentions couched in “if-then” form).
