Normative belief
(what do important

comply (desire to
please these important
others) (MCj)
How much consumer
is actually influenced
by these others (SN)
Behavioral Intentions
Behavior

Calculating TORA Behavioral
Intentions
BI  Aact  SN
Aact  i biei
SN   j NBjMCj

TORA Example: Getting a
tattoo

B=get a tattoo

BI=intention to get a tattoo

Aact=your attitude toward getting a tattoo

SN=what influence others have on you

TORA Scales
bi = the likelihood that this outcome will
occur is (-3) very low to (+3) very high
 ei = if this outcome occurs, it will be (-3)
very bad to (+3) very good
 NBj = this person thinks I should (-3) not
do it to (+3) do it
 MCj = how much do I care what this
person thinks? (-3) don’t care at all to
(+3) care very much

The Bottom Line
BI = Aact + SN
= -2 + -4
= -6
Decision: Don’t do it!
