“…Meta-analytic reviews support the efficacy of the TPB across a diverse range of behaviours (e.g., Armitage and Christian 2003;Armitage and Conner 2001;McEachan et al 2011). Specifically, the TPB has been successfully used to model the social-cognitive determinants of unprotected sex (Myklestad and Rise 2008), drink-driving (Armitage et al 2002), binge drinking (Norman et al 2007), unsafe injecting drug use (Gagnon and Godin 2009), and gaming addiction (Haagsma et al 2013).…”

Investigating how gambling frequency and perceptions towards gambling relate to gambling problems has direct relevance for prevention and treatment programs. Accordingly, this study explored the relationship between a diverse group of gambling beliefs, the intention to gamble, gambling frequency, and gambling problems. To facilitate this, the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) was employed to model the influence of gambling attitudes (e.g., the expected emotional and financial outcomes from gambling), social norms (e.g., perceived approval and gambling behaviour of significant others) and cognitive biases (confidence in the ability to determine the outcome of gambling) on the intention to gamble, gambling frequency, and gambling problems. Two hundred and one volunteers completed a questionnaire that assessed these social-cognitive factors and gambling behaviours. Consistent with expectations, the path analysis revealed the TPB determinants predicted gambling frequency and gambling problems, respectively. Interestingly though, there was the direct path between the intention to gamble and gambling problems, and attitudes and gambling frequency. The potential implications for these findings are discussed.

“…Third, for those who had already consumed a substance (mostly tobacco, marijuana, glue, and alcohol), their best friends and their older brothers were seen as their most significant influences in initiating the risky behavior while for those who had not consumed any substances their parents were perceived as their most significant influence in avoiding the initiation of substance use. The most salient normative factors among adolescents in this Indonesian context and in this substance use-related behavior are relatively similar with the factors among Norwegian adolescents in engaging in protected sex (Myklestad & Rise, 2008). The results support the assumption that the significant others of different populations and behavior are relatively the same for students (Fishbein & Ajzen, 2010).…”

“…The weight of the determinants will vary from behavior to behavior and between populations (Fishbein & Ajzen, 2010). For example, PBC is the most salient determinant in predicting condom use among female sex workers in China and among male and female drug users in the US, but attitude and SN are the most salient factors in predicting the same behavior among Norwegian adolescents (Corby, Enguidanos, & Kay, 1996;Gu et al, 2009;Myklestad & Rise, 2008).…”

“…3 The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) is a commonly used framework for articulating the connection between a range of health behaviours and their sociocognitive predictors. 4 Many prior studies about condom use, [5][6][7][8][9][10] including many systematic reviews and metaanalyses, [11][12][13][14][15] have supported the TPB's major tenets, which are that behaviour is predicted by intentions; intentions are predicted by attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control. Attitudes are then predicted by behavioural beliefs (i.e.…”

Background Reducing sexually transmitted infections among adolescents is an important public health goal in Australia and worldwide. This study estimated the association between condom use during last heterosexual sexual experience with two descriptive norms among a large, national sample of secondary school students from Australia. Methods A large, national online survey of 14- to 18-year-olds in Australia was conducted in 2018; a sub-analysis of sexually active participants (n = 2989) used multivariable logistic regression to estimate the relationships between condom use during last sexual experience and condom use norms. The analysis controlled for the effects of age, sex, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, remoteness and knowledge of sexually transmitted diseases. Results Overall, 1673 (56.0% [95% confidence interval: 54.2%, 57.8%]) sexually active respondents reported using condoms during their last sexual experience. Perceiving that all same-age peers used condoms conferred higher odds of using condoms during their last heterosexual sexual experience (adjusted odds ratio: 3.06 [95% CI: 1.6, 6.0]). Perceptions about whether the suggestion to initiate condom use came from boys, girls, or both boys and girls was not associated with condom use. Differences in condom use related to socio-demographic characteristics are reported. Conclusions As part of a holistic approach to sexuality education, health educators and service providers may emphasise that young people frequently choose to use condoms.
