RESULTS Perceived behavioral control and behavioral frequency were higher in intergenerational than personal activity. Affective attitude was higher for personal activity, and subjective norm was more important in intergenerational than personal intention. CONCLUSION Future interventions may benefit from some specific targeting toward intergenerational or personal activity.
