Resumo(s)
Objectives. This study investigates the joint role of coping planning and action control
as volitional predictors of changes in the daily consumption of fruit and vegetables.
Design. In a longitudinal online survey, 203 participants completed assessments at
baseline (Time 1), 1 week (Time 2), and 2 weeks later (Time 3).
Methods. Structural equation modelling was used to test a series of three nested
models. In Model 1, only intention predicted behaviour; in Model 2, both coping planning
and action control were tested as mediators between intention and behaviour; and Model
3 specified coping planning and action control as sequential mediators between intention
and behaviour.
Results. Model 3 provided the best fit to the data. The mediating role of coping planning
and action control between intention and fruit and vegetable intake was confirmed,
whereby multiple mediation occurred in a sequential manner, with coping planning
preceding action control.
Conclusions. For motivated individuals who are not yet following the recommendations for fruit and vegetable consumption, coping planning and action control reflect a
psychological mechanism that operates in changes in fruit and vegetable consumption.
