be rationally determined by personal expectancies and that the behavior of other individuals
will be environmentally determined by social norms. As predicted, strong expectancy-

This study tested Fishbein and Ajzen's hypothesis that the behavior of some individuals will be rationally determined by personal expectancies and that the behavior of other individuals will be environmentally determined by social norms.

In contrast, we predicted and obtained strong norm-behavior correspondence for individuals who were dispositionally attuned to social norms but unaware of personal expectancies. Several methodological refinements in expectancy measures produced equivalent results.
