The predictive validity of the Health Belief Model (HBM) and the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) were examined in relation to 'intention to attend' and 'actual attendance' at a universal parent-training intervention for parents of children with behavioural difficulties. A validation and reliability study was conducted to develop two questionnaires (N = 108 parents of children aged 4-7).These questionnaires were then used to investigate the predictive validity of the two models in relation to 'intention to attend' and 'actual attendance' at a parent-training intervention ( N = 53 parents of children aged 4-7). Both models significantly predicted 'intention to attend a parent-training group'; however, the TPB accounted for more variance in the outcome variable compared to the HBM. Preliminary investigations highlighted that attendees were more likely to intend to attend the groups, have positive attitudes towards the groups, perceive important others as having positive attitudes towards the groups, and report elevated child problem behaviour scores. These findings provide useful information regarding the belief-based factors that affect attendance at universal parent-training groups. Possible interventions aimed at increasing 'intention to attend' and 'actual attendance' at parent-training groups are discussed.
针对有行为问题儿童的家长开展的一项通用家长培训干预措施，研究了健康信念模型（HBM）和计划行为理论（TPB）与“参加意愿”和“实际参加情况”之间的预测效度。开展了一项效度和信度研究，编制了两份问卷（涉及108名4至7岁儿童的家长）。随后，使用这些问卷调查了这两种模型在一项家长培训干预措施中与“参加意愿”和“实际参加情况”相关的预测效度（涉及53名4至7岁儿童的家长）。两种模型均能显著预测“参加家长培训小组的意愿”；然而，与健康信念模型相比，计划行为理论在结果变量中解释的方差更多。初步调查强调，参加者更有可能打算参加小组、对小组持积极态度、认为重要他人对小组持积极态度，并报告孩子的问题行为得分较高。这些发现提供了关于影响参加通用家长培训小组的基于信念因素的有用信息。讨论了旨在提高家长培训小组“参加意愿”和“实际参加情况”的可能干预措施。
