The Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) posits a distinction between pre-intentional motivation processes and a post-intentional volition process that leads to the actual behavior change. For smoking cessation, the HAPA predicts that increased risk perceptions would foster a decision to quit smoking. From a cross-sectional perspective, the HAPA predicts that those who do not intend to quit (non-intenders) should have lower risk perceptions than those who do intend to quit (intenders).
Adult smokers participated in a cross-sectional survey. Multiple measures of motivation to quit smoking and risk perceptions for smoking were assessed. ANOVA and contrast analysis were employed for data analysis.
The results were generally supportive of the HAPA. Non-intenders had systematically lower risk perceptions compared to intenders. Most of these findings were statistically significant.
The results demonstrated that risk perceptions distinguish non-intenders from intenders. These results suggest that smokers low in motivation to quit could benefit from information and reminders about the serious health problems caused by smoking.
健康行动过程方法（HAPA）假设存在一个区别，即前意向性动机过程和后意向性意志过程，前者导致实际的行为改变。对于戒烟，HAPA 预测增加的风险感知将促进戒烟的决定。从横断面的角度来看，HAPA 预测那些不打算戒烟的人（非意向者）应该比那些打算戒烟的人（意向者）的风险感知更低。
成年吸烟者参与了横断面调查。评估了多种戒烟动机和吸烟风险感知的测量。采用方差分析和对比分析进行数据分析。
结果普遍支持 HAPA。非意向者的风险感知明显低于意向者。这些发现大多数具有统计学意义。
结果表明，风险感知将非意向者与意向者区分开来。这些结果表明，戒烟动机低的吸烟者可能会受益于关于吸烟引起的严重健康问题的信息和提醒。
