“…Behavior was composed by self-reported condom use and behavioral intention because they have appeared closely related [20,21,29,36]. The behavior was directly predicted by perceived sexual pleasure and condom use self-efficacy.…”

“…In a meta-analysis by Albarracin, Johnson, Fishbein and Muellerleile, a total of 96 studies using the TPB as a basic model to explain the condom use were examined [20]. The study shows that the behavior was related to behavioral intention (.45); behavioral intention was related to attitudes (.58) and the subjective norm (.39); attitudes were associated with behavioral beliefs (.56); norms were associated with normative beliefs (.46); and perception of control was associated with the behavioral intention (.45) and condom use (.25).…”

Structural Equation Modeling Test of an Integrated Model of Spanish Youth’s Condom Use

Heterosexual transmission represents 26 % of newly diagnosed infection in Spanish youth. Behavioral change models have emphasized the influence of multiple variables to predict condom use behavior. The aim of this study is to examine how those variables are organized and which theory explains the condom use behavior better. A sample of 424 young heterosexuals (M age = 20.62; SD = 2.16) filled out a battery of self-report questionnaires for assessing AIDS-related variables, personality traits and clinical variables (general, sexuality-related and health-related). A structural model was specified that included perceived pleasure and condom use self-efficacy as predictive variables. Depression and sexual compulsivity indirectly influence behavior. The final model accounted for 65.9 % of the variance in behavior. These results highlight the importance of cognitive and emotional variables as predictors of behavior (ex. expectations of pleasure and self-efficacy beliefs). This is important information for designing effective psychological interventions.Resumen La transmisión heterosexual representa el 26 % de los nuevos diagnósticos de VIH en los jóvenes españoles.

El objetivo del presente estudio es examinar cómo se organizan estas variables y qué teoría explica mejor esta conducta. Una muestra de 424 jóvenes heterosexuales (x edad = 20.62; SD = 2.16) completó una batería de cuestionarios sobre Sida, rasgos de personalidad y variables clínicas (generales, sexuales y de salud). Los resultados obtenidos utilizando modelos de ecuaciones estructurales apoyan una relación directa entre uso del preservativo y autoeficacia y placer percibido. Las variables depresión y compulsividad sexual influyen indirectamente sobre la conducta. El modelo explica el 65.9 % de la varianza. Estos resultados destacan la importancia de las variables cognitivas y emocionales como predictoras del comportamiento. Esta información es importante para el diseño de intervenciones psicológicas eficaces.

“…Often, the decision to concentrate on attitudes or norms when designing an intervention is made based on the practitioners intuition, as opposed to solid empirical evidence (Albarracín et al, 2001). Based on our research, efforts that focus on social norms to influence travel behavior may be considerably less effective than those that include attitudinal and behavioral control components.…”

“…Yet, given that we demonstrated an ability to significantly predict behavior, even across time (in the Southwest panel data), we are in a better position to create effective interventions in the future (see Albarracín, Johnson, Fishbein, & Muellerleile, 2001).

Long-Term Evaluation of Individualized Marketing Programs for Travel Demand Management

This research examines the use of individualized marketing as a transportation demand management (TDM) strategy, using the City of Portland's SmartTrips program. This research project has two specific aims: (1) to evaluate whether the benefits of these individualized marketing programs continue to at least one year after the project ends; and (2) to examine whether the theory of planned behavior (TPB) can help explain the behavior changes identified. Surveys of residents conducted one or two years after the original program found that the share of daily trips made driving alone, walking, and bicycling were comparable to that found in the previous follow-up surveys, still significantly lower (for driving alone) or higher (for walking and bicycling) than the pre-surveys. This may indicate that the SmartTrips program was effective at changing behavior for a longer time period than previously measured. The theory of planned behavior (TPB) models were effective at explaining travel behavior. The models showed that attitudes, social norms, and perceived behavioral control explain a large share (45-55%) of the variance in travel behavior. The relative influence of each component of the model differed some by mode. The findings support previous research that individualized marketing programs can be effective at changing people's travel behavior. The findings indicate that the benefits of the programs may extend beyond one year and up to at least two years. However, the research also found that the programs may not be as effective in environments that are less conducive to walking, bicycling, and transit. The research also found that that attitudes, norms, and perceptions play a large role in travel decisions. To be most effective, individualized marketing programs need to influence these factors, though efforts that focus on social norms to influence travel behavior may be less effective than those that include attitudinal and behavioral control components. Sensitivity to regional characteristics and the specific travel mode that is the target of interest is also warranted.

“…Meta-analyses of condom behavior studies revealed a central determining role for attitudes; if people hold a negative attitude about condoms they are unlikely to use them (Albaracín et al, 2005;Albaracín, Johnson, Fishbein, & Muellerleile, 2001;Sheeran, Abraham, & Orbell, 1999). A major limitation of the literature on condom-related attitudes, however, is its disregard of relational processes that influence condom use (Ciesla, Roberts, & Hewitt, 2004;Feeney & Raphael, 1992;WHO, 2012).…”

The Causal Effects of Relational Security and Insecurity on Condom Use Attitudes and Acquisition Behavior

Research on attachment and condom use has been limited to correlational studies of selfreport measures, yielding inconsistent results. Here, we examined the causal effects of attachment priming on self-reported condom use attitudes and an observational measure of condom acquisition behavior. In three experiments, participants were exposed to one of three attachment primes (security, anxiety, or avoidance) or a control prime. For Study 1, participants in the security and anxiety conditions preferred condom non-use to a greater extent, compared to participants in the avoidance condition. This effect was replicated in Study 2, and was mediated by perceptions of sexual health threat. In Study 3, the effect of security priming on condom acquisition behavior was eliminated through the use of a framing manipulation, though, the effect of primed attachment on condom use attitudes was not significant. A Meta-Analysis, however, revealed that the predicted effects of attachment priming were consistent across the three studies, supporting the role of attachment in evaluations of condom use. Priming attachment security or anxiety lead participants to perceive their sexual partners as less of a sexual health threat, resulting in a devaluation of condom use. Primed security also reduced condom acquisition behavior, though this negative effect eliminated by framing condoms as protecting a partner's sexual health. Overall, these studies suggest that relational factors, such as attachment, require greater consideration when studying sexual health and designing interventions.
