“…This result is similar to those of past studies (AL Ziadat, 2014;Collins & Carey, 2007;Tan, 2013). This indicates that those with positive attitude are likely to engage in lifestyle counseling for cancer patients.…”

“…It is a social-cognitive model which postulates that performance of a particular behavior is determined by intention which is in turn, influenced by three constructs: attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control (PBC; Ajzen, 1991Ajzen, , 2012. Intentions are subjective judgments about how individuals will behave in future and has been used as a surrogate measure of future behavior in many studies (Giles et al, 2007;Tan, 2013;Wade et al, 2010). Attitude refers to an individual's positive or negative evaluation of performing a behavior.…”

Barriers to Provision of Lifestyle Counseling to Cancer Survivors: A Theory of Planned Behavior Study

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study sought to identify factors associated with doctors' intention to provide lifestyle counseling to cancer survivors and provide an evidence base for developing an intervention to maximize counseling behavior in cancer management programs. A cross-sectional survey based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) was conducted. Participants were 210 medical doctors recruited from two hospitals in Nigeria. Participants completed questionnaires containing all the theoretical constructs of TPB. Structural equation modeling was used for data analysis. Goodness-of-fit indices indicated adequate fit for the final structural models. Attitude and subjective norm, but not perceived behavioral control, were identified as significant predictors of intention to provide lifestyle counseling. Intention also significantly predicted counseling behavior. This evidence informs the design of a behavioral intervention to improve lifestyle counseling behavior in cancer management programs.

The purpose of this study is to examine the factors influence consumers' intention to purchase hybrid car and explore the roles of consumption values in automotive context. The study has been examining the direct relationship between functional value, symbolic value, emotional value, novelty value and conditional value with consumers' intention to purchase hybrid car. Each variable was measured using 7-point Likert-scale. Questionnaire was used to collect data from individual consumers in Klang Valley. The data were then analyzed by using structural equation modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS 2.0. Five hypotheses were developed for this study and were tested using two stages analyses. The first stage involves measurement model while the second stage is structural model. The results of the study indicated that functional value is the most significant predictor of consumers' intention to purchase hybrid car. In contrast, symbolic value, emotional value and novelty value failed to show significant relationship with consumers' intention to purchase hybrid car. Finally, implications of the findings as well as limitations and future research are discussed.

“…Most of the authors used multi-item Likert-type scales to account for a trade-off between reaching a desired level of internal validity (which can be boosted with larger number of items in a scale) and fulfilling the request to produce simple measurement scales. In line with that, some authors opted for a three-item scale (Amran & Nee, 2012;Han, Hsu, & Sheu, 2010;Tan, 2013), five-item scale (Voon et al, 2011), or even 19-item scale (Tanner & Kast, 2003). Authors of this study used a five-item scale to evaluate the individual's intention to purchase green food products.…”

The purpose of this article is to analyse the specific role of two types of subjective norms in forming the intention to purchase green food. Based on the outcomes of a questionnaire completed by a sample of 411 household primary shoppers from a transitional country in the Southeast Europe region, we developed three models that depict the predictive power of attitudes, perceived behavioural control and subjective norms, and confirmed a significant positive relationship between green food purchasing intention and all three antecedents. Furthermore, regression analysis revealed two important theoretical insights: (1) descriptive norms represent statistically significant predictors of green food purchase behaviour; and (2) incorporating both social and descriptive norms increases the variance explained in intention. The latter also empirically proves that the meaning behind the two variables (social and descriptive norms) is different. These results contribute to the strengthening of the theory of planned behaviour in the part which has so far been referred to as the weakest link.
