A) ​implementational intentions.
B) ​the intention-behavior gap.
C) ​behavioral willingness.
D) ​risk-taking behaviors.

Answer 1

Answer:B) ​the intention-behavior gap

Step-by-step explanation:

The intention behavior gap refers to how we tend to explicitly state our decisions to change a particular behavior or improve our state of behavior such as staying active so that we can lose weight and stay fit however we never take the action towards those intentions.

Sometimes we can have intentions and good ones also but only to find we never get to act on them. This is how the gap is created between intention and behavior , you intend but not act on it which create a gap between the two.
