Theory of Reasoned Action

The Theory of Reasoned Action is a psychological framework that explains how people's intentions to act (like making a choice) are influenced by their attitudes and the social norms around them. It suggests that if a person believes a behavior has positive outcomes and thinks important people approve of that behavior, they are more likely to intend to do it. Essentially, our actions are shaped by what we think is right and what we think others expect from us, making it a blend of personal beliefs and social influences.
