Answer to Question 1

Answer: Factors include: the action was freely chosen;it cannot be justified by the presence of an external reward;the action is irreversible;and negative consequences of the action were foreseeable.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control all determine behavioral intention, which in turn determines behavior. One way in which attitude-behavior inconsistency can arise is when a person has a favorable attitude toward a behavior (like stopping smoking) but does not believe that he/she can control this (due to the physical addiction). Thus, the favorable attitude does not translate into consistent action.
