Sanjay wants to lose 50 pounds. According to the theory of planned behavior, what has to happen first in order to make this behavior change likely to occur?

▸ Sanjay's attitudes need to change; after that, behavioral change is a virtual certainty.

▸ Sanjay's attitudes need to determine his norms, which in turn would determine his perceived control, which would then produce his desired behavior.

▸ Sanjay's attitudes, norms, and perceived control have to predict a behavioral intention, which can then lead to behavior change.

▸ Sanjay should immediately change his behavior, knowing that changes to norms and behavioral intentions will follow as a result.
