Expanding upon single theories, researchers have recently proposed and tested integrated models of behavior. A key rationale for model integration is based on arguments that no one theory can be considered definitive in explaining behavior and, thus, should be open to modification to enable other constructs to be added that may provide more effi¬cacious explanations of outcomes. One such recent integrated model of behavior is the theory of reasoned goal pursuit (TRGP), integrating the theory of planned behavior and goal systems theory, that can be used to identify the modifiable predictors of health behavior by considering the active goals that motivate people's behavior. The TRGP suggests that the motivation to consider performing a particular behavior rests, in part, on the desire to attain one or more goals. This paper provides tests of the TRGP for two health behaviors, physical activity and compliance with a medical directive. The research comprised elicitation studies to identify individuals' procurement and approval goals, behavioral beliefs, normative beliefs, and control beliefs regarding the two health behaviors. Then, two-wave prospective studies were employed to assess the effects of these goals and beliefs on behavior using a path model. For both behaviors, the model accounted for a great deal of the variance in motivation and intention, and a moderate portion of variance in behavior. The model supported the major¬ity of hypothesised pattern of effects among theory constructs; in particular, the proposition that beliefs corresponding to procure¬ment and approval goals would be more consequential to people's motivation and, thus, their intentions and behavior, than other behavioral and normative beliefs, respectively. Results lend support for the TRGP and sets the agenda for future research to systematically test the model effects as well as contributes to refinement of social cognition models that acknowledge the role of goals in fulfillment of actions.
