Bridging the attitude-behaviour gap: An explanation of travel mode choice using analytical sociology.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this work is to improve the explanatory power of models of transport mode choice and thus contribute to the mobility transition. The authors develop a new model of mobility behaviour called xMooBe: It incorporates elements from attitudinal and choice models and combines them with a sociological theory of action, which has its roots in analytical sociology. xMooBe is based on a simple model of decision-making (with a manageable number of variables) and expands it by taking into account additional contextual factors such as car ownership and public transport availability. The study uses a mixed-methods approach that combines statistical analysis of survey data (including regression analysis), theory-based modelling of (bounded-rational) everyday decision making and thought experim
