To identify salient behavioral determinants related to STI testing among college students by testing a model based on the integrative model of behavioral (IMBP) prediction.
265 undergraduate students from a large university in the Southeastern US.
Formative and survey research to test an IMBP-based model that explores the relationships between determinants and STI testing intention and behavior.
of path analyses supported a model in which attitudinal beliefs predicted intention and intention predicted behavior. Normative beliefs and behavioral control beliefs were not significant in the model; however, select individual normative and control beliefs were significantly correlated with intention and behavior.
Attitudinal beliefs are the strongest predictor of STI testing intention and behavior. Future efforts to increase STI testing rates should identify and target salient attitudinal beliefs.
通过测试基于行为整合模型预测(IMBP)的模型,识别与大学生性传播感染检测相关的显著行为决定因素。
来自美国东南部一所大型大学的265名本科生。
进行形成性研究和调查研究,以测试基于IMBP的模型,该模型探讨决定因素与性传播感染检测意图和行为之间的关系。
路径分析支持了一个模型,其中态度信念预测意图,意图预测行为。规范信念和行为控制信念在该模型中不显著;然而,特定的个人规范和控制信念与意图和行为显著相关。
态度信念是性传播感染检测意图和行为的最强预测因素。未来提高性传播感染检测率的努力应识别并针对显著的态度信念。
