BALLESTER, Amparo Carpi et al. Self-efficacy and perceived control in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2009, vol.9, n.2, pp.423-432. ISSN 1657-9267.

From the Theory of Planed Behaviour (TPB), the aim of this study is to analyse the effect of self-efficacy and perceived control on intention and preventive behaviors of cardiovascular disease. To this end, 359 participants were evaluated in an empirical study. Data were analysed using the statistical package EQS 6.1. The results indicate that self-efficacy has a positive and significant influence on behaviour intentions and on behaviour, while perception of control has a negative and significant influence on intention but not on behaviour. This work has shown the utility to distinguish between self-efficacy and perceived control in the TPB to prevent cardiovascular diseases.
