本文综述了重复行为的决定因素及其背后的决策过程的研究。目前的研究集中在出行方式的选择作为这样的行为的一个例子。有人提出，当行为被重复执行并成为习惯时，它是由自动化的认知过程指导的，而不是由精心设计的决策过程（即，基于态度和意图的决定）。首先，当前的态度行为模型进行了讨论，并在这些模型中的习惯的作用进行了检查。其次，研究了出行方式选择前的决策过程。基于目前的理论和实证的概述，它的结论是，经常执行的行为往往是一个习惯的问题，从而建立一个边界条件的态度行为模型的适用性。然而，需要更多的系统研究来解开习惯在态度-行为模型中的作用，并更多地了解习惯行为背后的认知过程。
This paper summarizes research on determinants of repeated behaviors, and the decision processes underlying them. The present research focuses on travel mode choices as an example of such behaviors. It is proposed that when behavior is performed repeatedly and becomes habitual, it is guided by automated cognitive processes, rather than being preceded by elaborate decision processes (i.e., a decision based on attitudes and intentions). First, current attitude-behavior models are discussed, and the role of habit in these models is examined. Second, research is presented on the decision processes preceding travel mode choices. Based on the present theoretical and empirical overview, it is concluded that frequently performed behavior is often a matter of habit, thereby establishing a boundary condition for the applicability of attitude-behavior models. However, more systematic research is required to disentangle the role of habit in attitude-behavior models and to learn more about the cognitive processes underlying habitual behavior.
