Self-predictions overweight strength of current intentions

Article Abstract:

People's prediction of their behavior in the years to come overweight the strength of their prevailing intentions and underweight situational or contextual factors that influence the ease with which intentions are translated into action. The tendency of focusing on prevailing intentions while making self-predictions can cause people to underestimate the impact of other factors on their own behavior even when they understand the impact of those factors on the behavior of others.
