The interactive teaching and learning approaches, complemented by whole-school mindful practices, help create an exciting learning environment within which children can thrive academically, socially and emotionally. This core mindful breathing exercise which takes place three times a day, enables pupils and staff to calm their minds, focus and get ready to learn. The MindUP lessons are complemented by the ‘Brain Break’. The 15-lesson curriculum includes practices developed to help children improve their focus, manage their emotions and face challenges with resilience, kindness and compassion. The unique evidence-based framework provides knowledge and understanding of neuroscience, mindful awareness, positive psychology and mindful practices to affect positive change within the classroom and beyond. An individual’s attitude and perceived behavioral control can have a positive or a negative impact on their intention and the action of the behavior depending on that individuals’ personal views.SUPPORTING MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING THROUGH MINDUPĪt Three Bridges we are proud to be part of the growing network of MindUP schools who promote the mental health and emotional wellbeing of our whole school community. Also, if people within society do not approve of this action, then it would have a negative impact on a person’s intention for the action. In some cases, if someone has a negative attitude and feel that they do not have control of this action, that will lead to the person being less likely to carry out that action. The Theory of Planned Behavior uses a person’s personal attitude and opinion in combination with their perceived control of the behavior and societies’ subjective norms to influence their behavioral intention which will lead to the behavior or action. Department of Health and Human Services, 2005) Do they believe that they can successfully carry out this behavior? The individual belief that one has control over a specific action or behavior. Do others approve or disapprove of this action? How others in society view this behavior. Do they see this behavior or action as a good or bad? Are they likely or unlikely to carry out this behavior?Ī person’s individual feelings and evaluation of the behavior. The perceived likelihood of a person carrying out this behavior. The Theory of Planned Behavior is broken down into a person’s attitude, their perceived behavioral control, and the subjective norms of society which all influence a person’s intention and ultimately the final behavior.

Within the healthcare field, it can be used to study disease prevention, pharmacology companies, birth control,and even family planning (Martin, 2017). This theory is based around understanding and predicting human behaviors, which allows for such a wide range of uses. The application of this theory can be used in all different sorts of fields and industries ranging from the healthcare field, politics, and even general businesses and organizations. This example brings to light the fact that just the intention of the action will do nothing unless you have control of all the smaller factors that go into the final behavior.


The success of this intention depends on the person’s individual control of all the different factors that go into this action (Ajzen, 1985).

In Ajzen’s example, the intention is to make time for this activity, prepare the equipment and the fishing license that is needed. In Ajzen’s original article he describes this theory using an example where a father intends to bring his children fishing. Department of Health and Human Services, 2005).

The primary reason the Theory of Planned Behavior is more accurate is due to the addition of perceived behavioral control which takes into account if a person truly believes that they have control over the behavior which they want to carry out (U.S. The main difference between the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Theory of Reasoned Action is that there is a greater chance of being able to understand a person’s actual attitudes through the Theory of Planned Behavior that result in the physical behavior that is being carried out (Martin, 2017). Both theories postulate that a person’s behavioral intentions and their attitudes about a certain behavior are determined by being able to understand that person’s behavioral and normative beliefs as well as the social norms for the society that they are within. This theory was presented in Icek Ajzen in 1985 in his article “From Intentions to Actions: A Theory of Planned Behavior”. The development of the Theory of Planned Behavior was built off of what was assumed of human behavior in the Theory of Reasoned Action.
