In previous research habit has been found to play an important role for choices of automobile. We propose and test a model of the process of habit formation. In this model a positive attitude towards driving is assumed to lead to that the automobile is frequently chosen. We identify this with a habit which later leads to script-based choices, that is, choices that are made on the basis of scripts triggered by minimal information. In a questionnaire study we measure participants´ (n=60) attitudes towards driving, self-reported frequency of using automobile, and their choices of mode for 15 descriptions of scripts (e.g., going to the beach with friends). Using maximum-likelihood methods available in LISREL8, a causal model is estimated from the covariances between the obtained measures. The results confirm the hypothesis that a positive attitude causes frequent choices to drive which in turn lead to script-based choices. We obtain consistent results from an experiment in which participants (n=24) repeatedly made choices between driving and walking and choices of destinations. After repeated choices of driving, the results indicated as expected that choices of driving were made independent of destination choice.
