Guided by the integrated model of behavioral prediction, this study explored the attitudinal, normative, and perceived control beliefs that predict college student hookup intentions and behavior. We first conducted elicitation research with six focus groups of undergraduate students to identify salient beliefs to inform questionnaire development, and then we collected and analyzed questionnaire data from 268 undergraduate students to explore the direct and indirect determinants that drive hookup behaviors. We compared proposed models that tested separate paths from determinants to intention and behavior to theoretical models that treated intention as a mediator of the determinant-behavior relationship. The results indicate that in both the proposed and theoretical models, direct and indirect attitudes were the strongest predictors of intentions and behavior. Positive attitude beliefs were consistently and significantly correlated with both intention and behavior, while only select normative and control beliefs were so correlated. Finally, although the data fit both the proposed and theoretical models, the proposed models provided a more accurate fit. We discuss theoretical and practical implications of our results, and we offer directions for future research.
本研究以行为预测的综合模型为指导，探讨了预测大学生 hookup 意向和行为的态度、规范和感知控制信念。我们首先进行了六项焦点小组的启发式研究，以确定突出的信念，为问卷开发提供信息，然后从 268 名本科生那里收集和分析了问卷数据，以探讨驱动 hookup 行为的直接和间接决定因素。我们比较了测试从决定因素到意向和行为的单独路径的建议模型与将意向视为决定因素-行为关系的中介的理论模型。结果表明，在提出的和理论模型中，直接和间接态度都是意向和行为的最强预测因素。积极的态度信念与意向和行为都呈一致且显著的相关性，而只有选择性的规范和控制信念与之相关。最后，尽管数据同时适合提出的和理论模型，但提出的模型提供了更准确的拟合。我们讨论了我们研究结果的理论和实践意义，并为未来的研究提供了方向。
