contents Using the Theory of Planned Behavior to Explain Cycling Behavior Romina Caballero Paul Franco Jeremías David Tosi Adriana Jakovcevic Psicología bicycling behavior active transportation Theory of Planned Behavior Latin American cities are facing crucial changes to become cycling cities. To develop effective policies in this regard, it is essential to understand the factors influencing bicycle commuting. The Theory of Planned Behavior —TPB— (Ajzen 1991) has provided a useful model to explain travel mode choice. The present study tested the TPB within the domain of bicycle mode choice with 172 participants from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Data was modeled using path analysis. The TPB model displayed an excellent fit. Results showed that intention predicted 53% of the variance in cycling to university. In addition, TPB variables (attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control) predicted 59% of the intention to use the bicycle to commute to university. The study also discusses the theoretical and practical implications for promoting bicycle use. 2019 artículo científico 1794-4724 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=79959509008 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/799/79959509008/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/799/79959509008/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/799/79959509008/79959509008.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/799/79959509008/movil https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/apl/a.6972 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=799 Avances en Psicología Latinoamericana application/pdf Universidad del Rosario Avances en Psicología Latinoamericana (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.37
