This work uses the constructs of the theory, but also includes the emotional variable. For attaining the objective of the research a questionnaire was built and applied to 797 subjects of a Galician population (Spain). Results explaining Anger like one of the variables that confirming this behavior and its weight is superior to the traditional variables like perceived behavioral control.

Keywords : Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB); proecological behavior; social psychology; emotions.
