Paper2009

A Behavior Model for Persuasive Design

B. J. Fogg

Proposes that a behaviour occurs only when motivation, ability and a trigger converge at the same moment, so a failed behaviour change is best diagnosed by asking which of the three was missing rather than prescribed more willpower.

Paper1977

Self-Efficacy: Toward a Unifying Theory of Behavioral Change

Albert Bandura

Argues that a person's belief in their own capability to execute a specific behaviour, not just their skill or motivation, is what determines whether they initiate the behaviour and persist through setbacks.
