“…Thus, recent research in the world aims to examine the factors causing such an increase in Cesarean rate and to find a proper way to reduce it through appropriate educational interventions (1). Since several studies have shown that the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is effective in examining and determining the risk factors affecting the occurrence or the absence of a specific behavior (10)(11)(12), in our study, the theory has been used as a framework for research. Based on the psychological theory, this model is originated from the theory of rational action and the most important predictor of an individual's behavior is his/her behavioral tendency.…”

Introduction: Cesarean, as a major abdominal surgery, if done without a medical indication, may impose numerous complications on the mothers and the babies and increase frequency of cesarean deliveries in subsequent pregnancies. This study aimed to predict the behavioral tendencies of pregnant women in selecting their delivery approaches, based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Materials and methods:This cross-sectional study was performed on 100 pregnant women referred to healthcare centers of Kermanshah city (western Iran). A researcher-made questionnaire was applied, based on TPB constructs including attitudes, perceived behavioral controls, subjective norms, and behavioral tendencies. To analyze the data, Pearson correlation, Spearman, s regression, and ANOVA were used via the SPSS statistical software, version 20. Results: The average age of pregnant woman was 23.7±3.93 years old. The results demonstrated a significant correlation between the subjective norms and behavioral tendencies (r=0.335, P=0.001). A significant relationship was seen between the perceived behavioral controls and tendencies (r=0.277, P=0.004). A significant relationship was found between the perceived behavioral control and the attitude (r=0.293, P=0.002). The results of the regression results demonstrated that the subjective norms and perceived behavioral controls can significantly predict 14.1 percent of changes in the variable of tendencie. Conclusion:The findings indicate the strength of the variable of subjective norms as the most effective factor in predicting the delivery approach; therefore, systematic and planned training seems necessary, not only for the pregnant women, but also the individuals affecting this group. Thus, to reduce caesarean sections, physicians, as an effective factor, need to be urged to boost natural childbirth.

“…Changes in legislation in the more gender egalitarian direction, although necessary, are not sufficient for making the shift toward beliefs and practices of leave take-up that are more gender equal. Beliefs about the division of leave are essential given that beliefs predict behaviour (Ajzen, 1991), a theoretical hypothesis also empirically evidenced for fathers' involvement in their children's lives (Perry & Langley, 2013). Therefore, we can conclude that what is also needed in our society is the deconstruction of traditional gender-role beliefs in general, especially in the case of men.…”

“…theory of planned behaviour, Ajzen, 1991) and empirical data show that beliefs predict behaviour (e.g. Ben, Golube & Shamrai, 2010;French & Cooke, 2012;Perry & Langley, 2013), exploring beliefs about parental leave in more detail could also help us understand parents' actual leave taking decisions.…”

“…There is a lack of empirical data on parental leave sharing beliefs held by people living in Croatia, which could be, apart from the legislative possibilities, an important factor influencing leave take-up among parents. This is especially interesting in the light of the findings from a US study that showed that fathers' attitudes and beliefs predicted their involvement in the lives of their children (Perry & Langley, 2013).…”

This theoretical paper presents a theoretical model that shows the effect of cultural aspects mentioned in the theory of planned behavior, namely, subject norms on parental involvement behaviors of parents. The paper reports on the findings of several studies that demonstrate the relationship between parental involvement and student achievement in school in several cultural contexts. The findings and conclusions of this theoretical paper suggest that emphasis needs to be placed on increasing parental involvement in children's education as a tool to decrease achievement gaps between students. More specifically, parental involvement can be seen as a tool to overcome achievement gaps caused by socioeconomic differences between students' families.
