Forthcoming and Online First Articles
International Journal of Knowledge-Based Development
Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.
Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

Abstract: Human behaviour is challenging to explain, and testing times like COVID-19 adds another layer of complexity. Based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour, the current paper traces a path model to understand how declared behaviour was impacted during the pandemic in Germany and Sweden. This study applies Response Time Testing which reduces cognitive biases of self-reporting-based surveys. Results show that attitude and intentions form central elements impacting declared behaviour. Perceived threat has a high impact on declared behaviour both directly and indirectly via attitude. Thus, political decision-makers need to take attitude into account when designing effective communication to influence behaviour.
