“…According to a review of the TPB by Cooke et al (2016), intention was found to be the strongest predictor of actual behaviour. Intention has been reported to influence actual behaviour in alcohol-related studies including Zhang et al (2018) in South Africa, Peltzer et al (2017) in Argentina and Willis et al (2020) in Australia. Since previous studies focused on binge drinking, the present study aimed to investigate the influence of intention to quit on actual behaviour of quitting binge drinking.…”

Background Binge drinking is a social problem that is highly prevalent in South Africa, particularly among the youth. The behaviour has negative consequences on the health of individuals and society. Focus of the Article This empirical study drew from the Theory of planned behaviour and decomposed the theory’s determinants of intention into two components each, to investigate intention to quit binge drinking. Social support from the Social cognitive theory was also investigated as a determinant of intention to quit. Furthermore, the study investigates the determinants quitting binge drinking behaviour. Research Hypotheses The study proposed that attitude (affective and instrumental); subjective norms (injunctive and descriptive), perceived behavioural control (self-efficacy and perceived controllability) and social support positively and significantly predict intention to quit binge drinking. Intention, perceived controllability and self-efficacy were hypothesised to predict actual behaviour of quitting binge drinking. Importance to the Social Marketing Field This study contributes theoretical knowledge through the use of an extended TPB model that focuses on the desired behaviour of quitting binge drinking and provides specific determinants that social marketers can use when designing interventions. The two-component TPB used in the study also provides social marketers distinctive and specific knowledge on which aspects from the original one component significantly influence the intention to quit. The implications are discussed from a social marketing perspective. Methods A cross-sectional, quantitative online survey was used to collect data from a convenient sample of 810 respondents. Partial Least Squares Structural equation modelling was used to analyse the data including testing the hypothesis and age group–based multigroup analysis. Results Instrumental attitude, injunctive norms, descriptive norms, self-efficacy and social support were found to significantly and positively predict intention to quit binge drinking explaining 49.2% variance in intention. However, the influence of affective attitude was negative and insignificant. Intention and self-efficacy positively explained 16.2% of variance in behaviour. Recommendations for Research/Practice It is recommended that social marketers focus on instrumental attitude injunctive, descriptive norms, self-efficacy as well as social support when designing interventions to promote quitting binge drinking behaviour. Limitations The main limitation of the study is it provides a broad ranging overview which calls for more experimental efforts to be done on the ground for practitioners promoting positive behaviour change.

“…Las y los adolescentes tienen cambios físicos, psicológicos y sociales durante esta etapa, también pueden presentar riesgos, vulnerabilidades y búsqueda de sensaciones que generan creencias sobre el CA como: mejora en el desempeño social, expresión de sentimientos, aceptación del grupo de referencia, alegría, ocio, relajación y estatus, que en su conjunto, determinan la actitud del consumo de riesgo (Martínez-Cardona et al, 2019;Patrick et al, 2010;Peltzer et al, 2017;Settles et al, 2014;Shell et al, 2010). Por otro lado, creencias negativas como: tener malas experiencias con la sedación, tener conflictos con la familia por consumir y meterse en problemas, son identificadas como factores de protección (Maggs et al, 2015).…”

Se propuso diseñar una escala que evaluara las creencias sobre el consumo de alcohol en adolescentes mexicanos escolarizados entre 11 y 16 años, a los cuales se accedió por medio de una invitación. La medida creada tuvo como base la Teoría de la Acción Planeada, la cual explica diversas problemáticas de salud. Se eligieron de manera no probabilística tres muestras de colegios de educación básica del turno matutino del estado de Hidalgo, México. Se llevaron a cabo los pilotos con estas muestras: uno para un estudio cualitativo a través de un análisis de contenido por categorías (.=219), otro para un análisis factorial exploratorio con análisis paralelo (.=906) y uno para un análisis factorial confirmatorio por máxima verosimilitud y un análisis de invarianza por sexo (.=612). Los resultados indican la presencia de creencias positivas y negativas de los motivos de consumo en esta población, tanto el AFE y el AFC identificaron dos creencias positivas: placer-hedonismo y aceptación social y una creencia negativa: daño-riesgo. La discusión gira en torno a las creencias conductuales (actitudes) positivas y negativas y en la trasmisión cultural que realizan padres y pares. La limitación es el tipo de muestra ya que solo se trabajó con adolescentes escolarizados, se propone incluir adolescentes que no estudien para continuar con la línea de investigación.

“…Previous research employs TPB to understand the behavioural dynamics of substance abuse in general (Dempsey et al, 2016;Guzmán Facundo, García Salas, Aguilar, & Alonso Castillo, 2014;Moreta-Herrera, Ilaja-Verdesoto, Mayorga-Lascano, León-Tamayo & López-Castro, 2018b); as well as in alcohol consumption (Norman, 2011;Norman, Webb & Millings, 2019;Peltzer, Conde, Biscarra, Lichtenberger & Cremonte, 2017).…”

“…This makes TPB quite useful when proposing scientific evidence about its results and practical applications in the areas of evaluation, diagnosis and intervention. Although studies of this model in Latin America are not widely systematized, abundant evidence (Dempsey et al, 2016;Mankarious & Kothe, 2015;Norman, 2011;Norman, Webb & Millings, 2019;Peltzer et al, 2017) (Sheeran et al, 2016;Wigg & Stafford, 2016).…”

Objective. Confirm the bifactorial structure, reliability and validity of the Modelo de Medición de Intención al consumo de Alcohol (MMICA), in a sample of Ecuadorian adolescents. Method. Instrumental study with factor analysis, reliability and validity (construct and criterion) of the MMICA among risky and not risky consumers. The sample was 480 students (52.3% men), between 12 to 19 years (M= 14.8, SD= 1.5), from three different educational centres (67.9% public) of Ambato and Pelileo cities, Ecuador. Results. The bifactorial structure is confirmed with a variance explained of 72.1%, the adjustment data are adequate with X2= 39.9; p< .001; df= 26; X2/df=1.5; CFI= .98; TLI= .97; SRMR= .045; RMSEA=.048 [.011 - .077]. Reliability is high (ω=.90 for behavioural control and ω=, 84 for behavioural belief). This study confirms criterion validity between risky and not risky alcohol consumers. Conclusions. The MMICA is an adequate, reliable and valid test to assess intent of alcohol consumption among Ecuadorian adolescents.
