      abstract = {Translating the dietary knowledge among individuals into  healthy behavior remains a
challenging task. This study  examines the causal relationship between dietary knowledge  and
behavior by including self-efficacy in the models.
A  series of regression models were developed based on Baron  and Kenny (1986) to assess
whether self-efficacy mediated  the link between the predictor variables and dietary  behavior.
Regression analyses supported the hypothesized  relationships that self-efficacy mediates effects
of  dietary knowledge and social influences on dietary  behavior. Self-efficacy also accounted for
variance in  eating behavior not explained by knowledge or demographic  variables.},
