The [theory of planned behaviour](http://people.umass.edu/aizen/tpb.html) is a popular model of human behaviour. I.e., [Broadly the model](http://people.umass.edu/aizen/tpb.diag.html) suggests that intentions to act are a function of attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control. And behaviour is a function of intentions and actual ability to act which is reflected typically in perceptions of control.
The theory of planned behaviour has been applied to many domains (e.g., smoking, exercise, gambling, etc.).

I was curious whether any researchers have attempted to integrate modes of trait personality, and the [Big 5](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits) personality in particular with the theory of planned behaviour. I assume that any such integration would be somewhat domain dependent.
