Theory of Planned Behavior Sample Clauses

Theory of Planned Behavior. The Theory of Planned Behavior (Figure 2.1), an extension of the Theory of Reasoned Action, is one of the most frequently used theoretical conceptual frameworks to investigate influencing factors of behaviors(Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 2001; XxXxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, & Xxxxxx, 2011). The premise of the Theory of Planned Behavior is that behavioral intention is a primary predictor of behavior. Behavioral intention is the perceived likelihood or readiness to perform the behavior. The theory suggests that behavioral intention is strongly and positively correlated with the performance of the behavior(I Ajzen, 1991). Numerous studies that have applied the Theory of Planned Behavior have indicated that behavioral intentions are good predictors of behavior, particularly when the behavior is under volitional control, a behavior that a person can willfully decide whether to implement or not to implement(Xxxx Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 2005). The three primary predictors of behavioral intention include: Attitude toward the Behavior, Subjective Norms, and Perceived Behavioral Control. The theory hypothesizes that stronger perceived behavioral control and higher favorability of attitudes and subjective norms toward a particular behavior, the stronger the behavioral intention(I Ajzen, 2002; Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 2015). Attitude toward the behavior is the extent to which the behavior is favorably or unfavorably valued. Subjective norms are perceived pressures to perform or not perform a behavior based upon the influence and value of opinions among influential individuals and groups, also called referents. Perceived behavioral control is influenced by the presence of variables that make a behavior easy or difficult to perform. Perceived behavioral control is analogous to the combination of self-efficacy, the belief that one has the necessary skills perform the behavior(Bandura, 1977), and perceived control, whether an individual views a behavior is under their influence. Perceived behavioral control is an antecedent to intention of the behavior and can also directly influence behavior if volitional control is high. The actual control of the behavior can moderate the effect of perceived behavioral control. Actual behavioral control can involve multiple internal (e.g. skills, intelligence) and external (e.g., legal barriers, political climate) control factors, and these internal and external factors are typically explored during the Theory of Planned Behavior formative research stage.

Theory of Planned Behavior. Adapted from Xxxxxxxx, M. and X. Xxxxx, Predicting and changing behavior: The reasoned action approach. 0000, Xxx Xxxx, XX: Routledge. To effectively apply the Theory of Planned Behavior for a questionnaire, the following steps are required: (1) define the behavior and specify the research population, (2) formulate items for direct measures, (3) elicit salient beliefs shared by target population for indirect measures, (4) formulate items for indirect measures, and (5) prepare and test the questionnaire. Formative research and elicitation pilot work are required to identify salient behavioral, normative, and control beliefs(Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, 2015; Xxxxxxx et al., 2004). The pilot study should have a sample size of 25 to 30 participants that represent the study population (I Ajzen, 2018). Typically, formative research may involve in-depth interviews, however focus groups have also been used to for belief elicitation (X. X. Xxx & Xx, 0000; Xxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, & Xxxxxxx, 2009). During the focus groups participants can be asked to list and discuss beliefs around outcomes, referents, and control factors related to a specific behavior. Focus groups may be particularly appropriate to understand modal salient beliefs which are the most commonly held beliefs among the target population.

Theory of Planned Behavior. The theory of planned behavior postulated by Xxxxx (1995) presumes that individual behavior represents conscious choice. According to TPB, an individual's behavior is predictable and "represents conscious reasoned choice and is shaped by cognitive thinking and social pressures" (Xxxxxxxxxxxxx, 2012, p.39). Also, an individual intention depends on three variables such as subjective norms, attitudes and perceptions (Xxxxxxxx, 2005). Generally, an individual’s positive and negative behaviors are dependent on a consideration of the possible benefits and drawbacks of outcomes. Consequently, TPB theory is applicable in sexual health education in terms of a healthy lifestyle and safety. TPB also explains the behaviors people are able to control. Sometimes individuals' behavioral intentions are influenced by the “attitude about the likelihood that the behavior will have the expected outcome and the subjective evaluation of the risks and benefits of that outcome” (Xxxxxxxxxxxx, 2012 p. 39). According to the Xxxxxxxx (2005), if students are taught the possible adverse health effects of smoking, unprotected sex and other unhealthy behavior, they are more apt to stop themselves from engaging in such conduct in order to avoid negative consequences. Teachers have to take into account this theory in their teaching process in order to provide complete knowledge about the behavior that will bring adverse impacts on their students’ lives. Parents and teachers, as the main stakeholders, should expose students to the outcomes of certain behaviors thereby allowing them to consider the possible consequences of their behavioral choices. The theory of self-efficacy This theory was proposed by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx (1977) and is based on social learning theory and explains how education on sexual health issues empower student’s self- efficacy. SET is about the perception that an individual is able to control that which affects their life. It reflects one’s confidence in their capacity to control their motivation, behavior and social environment. This theory touches on the individual’s perception to control the elements that affect their life and allows them to control the incidents that may adversely affect their future. Bandura (1994) stated that the development of self-efficacy depends on motivation, and individuals' thoughts along with performance of role models’ help with decision making. People's major actions begin to construct their thoughts; thus, efficacy is determined by the sh...

Theory of Planned Behavior. FTS interventions may also be shaped around the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). TPB places heavy reliance on behavioral intentions as the major predictor of behavior change (Xxxxx, 2015). TPB predicts that the likelihood of certain behavior changes are related to a risk and benefit analysis by the individual and, similar to SCT, whether the individual believes that engaging in the behavior will have the outcome that is expected (XxXxxxx, 2019). The major components of TPB include behavioral intention, attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control, as shown in Figure 2.2 (Xxxxx, 2015). FTS utilizes the components of TPB by targeting “students’ beliefs, social norms, and self-efficacy regarding fruits and vegetables” (Xxxxxx et al, 2017). Key activities to reshape students’ attitudes and likeliness to consume more fruits and vegetables involve cafeteria

Theory of Planned Behavior. ‌ The Theory of Planned Behavior has been successfully applied to breastfeeding, both in the United States and internationally (Dodsgon et al., 2003; Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 2005; Godin & Kok, 1996). One study reported that intended duration of breastfeeding was most strongly predicted by individuals perceived behavioral control and attitudes (Xxxxx et al., 1998). This same study also demonstrated that demographic variables, intention and attitude all significantly predicted breastfeeding duration among a sample of first-time mothers in urban areas. The reliability and application of TPB to predicting behavior has been tested in multiple research studies, with some using the entire model and other using certain constructs of the model, showcasing the flexibility and wide application of the theory (Xxxxx, Duckket, Dodsgon, Savik, & Xxxxxx, 1998; Dodsgon et al., 2003; Xxxxxxx, 1997). This theoretical framework has been applied to explore determinants of breastfeeding intention and behavior among women of low-socioeconomic status or experiencing economic hardship internationally, showcasing varying results by context and study (Misra & Xxxxx, 2000; Xxxxxxx & Xxxxx, 2004; Hawkins, Griffiths, Dezateux, & Law, 2007). One qualitative study focusing on economically disadvantaged adolescents in the United States, reported ambivalence towards breastfeeding (Xxxxxxx & Xxxxx, 2004). In different study examining self-reported behavior among 733 postpartum Medicaid beneficiaries in Mississippi, breastfeeding initiation was determined by attitudes regarding breastfeeding and subjective norms (Xxxxxx et al., 2005). When women had knowledge about the health and emotional benefits of breastfeeding, if they felt embarrassed to do it in public, they were less likely to breastfeed: negative attitudes were negatively associated with intention to breastfeed. Subjective norms, or social support from lactation specialist and hospital nurses, was positively associated with breastfeeding intention. Another subjective norm influence in this study included family members, mother’s whose family encouraged formula-feeding were less likely to intend to breastfeed. This same study highlighted the role of demographic variables including ethnicity, education level, age, and marital status: older, white, non-Hispanic, college-educated, married women were more likely to breastfeed than formula feed following hospital discharge (Xxxxxx et al., 2005). The diversity of both the application of the TBP a...
