The present study aims at an examination, based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), of the psychological antecedents of young Chinese people's intentions to drive after drinking. One hundred and twenty-four licensed drivers (aged from 19 to 35 years) successfully completed an online questionnaire. Using path analysis, we found the most proximal predictors of intention to be attitudes and perceived behavioral control, whereas invulnerability as well as subjective norms indirectly influenced intention by promoting favorable attitudes toward and greater perceived behavioral control over driving after alcohol use. The total explained variances in the intention to drink and drive reached 79%. The present findings highlight irrational beliefs of invulnerability and the three TPB components as potentially valid targets for prevention and intervention efforts against drinking and driving among young Chinese drivers.
本研究旨在基于计划行为理论（TPB），考察年轻中国人酒后驾车意图的心理前因。124 名有驾照的司机（年龄在 19 岁至 35 岁之间）成功完成了在线问卷。通过路径分析，我们发现意图的最直接预测因素是态度和感知行为控制，而不可侵犯性以及主观规范通过促进对酒后驾车的有利态度和更大的感知行为控制，间接地影响了意图。对酒后驾车意图的总解释方差达到 79%。本研究结果强调了不可侵犯性的非理性信念以及 TPB 的三个组成部分，它们可能是针对年轻中国司机酒后驾车预防和干预措施的有效目标。
