Background. According to the Theory of Planned Behavior, an intention to carry out a certain behavior facilitates action. In the context of planning for birth, certain preparations and planning may better ensure maternal and neonatal survival. Little is known on the predictors of birth preparedness intention among expecting couples. The aim of this study was to determine the predictors of birth preparedness intentions among expecting couples. Methods. A community based cross-sectional study targeting pregnant women and their partners was performed from June until October 2017. A three-stage probability sampling technique was employed to obtain a sample of 546 couples A structured questionnaire based upon the Theory of Planned Behavior was used. The questionnaire explored three main domains of birth preparedness intentions. These three domains included (1) attitudes towards birth preparedness, (2) perceived subjective norms towards birth preparedness, and (3) perceived behavior control towards birth preparedness. Results. The vast majority of study participants had birth preparedness intentions. This included 521 (95.4%) pregnant women and 543 (99.5%) of their male partners. After adjusting for the confounders, the predictors of birth preparedness intentions among pregnant women were attitude (AOR=70.134, 95% CI=12.536-392.360, p<0.001) and perceived behavior control (AOR=7.327, 95% CI=1.545-34.761, p<0.05) which were significant. Among male partners, only attitudes (AOR=31.315, 95% CI=1.497-655.149, p<0.05) influenced the birth preparedness intention. Conclusion. Birth preparedness intention among male partners was higher compared to their female partners. The reason for the difference could be the concern each group puts on the issue of birth preparedness. Among the three domains of intention, attitude and perceived behavior control were statistically significant predictors of birth preparedness intention among pregnant women. Attitude was the only domain which influenced birth preparedness intention among male partners. Therefore, interventional studies are recommended targeting attitudes and perceived behavior control in order to boost birth preparedness intention.

Background: One of the important agents in the development of children physical activity is mothers. Objective: The present study aimed to assessing the role of socio-cognitive determinants in mothers’ intention to physical activity education for children based on the theory of planned behavior. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among a sample of mothers who have 3 to 6 old child in the west of Iran, 2018. Participants were randomly selected to participate voluntarily in the study. A structured questionnaire was applied for collecting data and data were analyzed by SPSS version 20 using correlations, and linear regression statistical tests. Results: Mean age of the mothers was 31.68 [95% CI: 31.17, 32.19]. Attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavior control variables predictors accounted for 42% of the variation in the intention of physical activity education for children by mothers. Perceived behavior control (Beta=-0.654 and P≤ 0.001) was the more influential predictor on physical activity education intention. Conclusion: It seems that designing and implementation of educational programs to increase perceived behavior control of mothers regarding the physical activity education for children may be the usefulness of the results in order to the promotion of physical activity among their children.

This study aims to determine the effect of the Theory of Planned Behavior and knowledge of the intention to invest in the assembly of the Taklim Muhammadiyah Sub-District of Sukomanunggal Surabaya. Primary data retrieval in this study used a questionnaire with a sample of 40 taklim assemblies in Sukomanunggal sub-district, Surabaya. The characteristics of the sample in this study were the pilgrims who attended the recitation in the assembly of taklim Muhammadiyah, Sukomanunggal, Surabaya. The sampling technique is Non-Probability Sampling and Simple Random Sampling. This study uses a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis. The endogenous variable in this study is the intention to invest, while the exogenous variable used is part of the Theory of Planned Behavior which consists of attitudes, subjective norms, and Perceived Behavior Control and Knowledge. The results of this study indicate that simultaneously and partially attitudes, subjective norms, Perceived Behavior Control, and knowledge have a significant effect on the intention to invest in the assembly of taklim members of Muhammadiyah, Sukomanunggal District, Surabaya. Suggestions for further research to add to the scope of research subjects so that more general information can be obtained about related research, and using other variables outside of this research variable because it should be suspected that there are still several other factors that can influence intention to invest.Keywords: Theory Of Planned Behaviour, Knowledge, Infaq, Intention

The Theory of Planned Behavior is widely used to predict human behaviors in many disciplines. According to the Theory of Planned Behavior, Attitude towards the target behavior, Subjective Norms about engaging in the behavior and Perceived Behavior Control influence intention. In addition, an individual's display of a certain behavior is determined by his or her intent to perform that behavior. This chapter describes the origin and history of the Theory of Planned Behavior, its purpose, its limitations and its applications in order to examine acceptance, adoption, use, and continuance of use of Information Systems and services.

By taking a Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this study examines the relationship between students' entrepreneurial, attitude (AT), subjective norms (SN), and perceived behavior control (PBC). The data used in the analysis is from 150 graduate students from 12 universities in Yogyakarta. The results indicate that attitudes and perceived behavior control significantly influenced students' entrepreneurial intentions, but not subjective norms. This study helps understand the role of a qualified educational background, namely the Master of Management in shaping entrepreneurial intentions. Finally, this study reveals the importance of examining students' entrepreneurialism in today's digital age.

Abstract Background Due to the absence of a vaccine of SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic, the most effective way to reduce transmission of the virus is by applying social distancing practices. Exploring factors that determine whether people adopt social distancing measures is, therefore, critical to reducing the spread of the virus. This study aimed to investigate people’s intentions to socially distance based on the extended Theory of Planned Behavior. Methods A questionnaire was distributed to the sample population and collected through social media online and WhatsApp groups from March 26, 2020 to March 29, 2020. There were 823 analyzed out of 1870 responses. The extended TPB variables and risk perception were measured using a 7-point scale (scored from 1 to 7). Data were analyzed using the partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modeling method. Results Study found that the factors influencing the intention to perform social distancing were subjective norms and perceived behavior control. Risk perception affected attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. Media exposure was found to determine attitudes, subjective norms, and risk perceptions. The relationship between attitudes and intentions, and media use and perceived behavior control were not significant. The better and effective risk communication that can change the level of risk perception, raise family and religious leader as well as increase to control behavior are the keys to people’s perform social distancing. Results from a multigroup analysis revealed that younger individuals showed a stronger relationship between the influence of risk perception and PBC and media use on risk perception. The predictive strength of subjective norms from risk perception and risk perception from media use was more strongly associated with rural populations. Conclusions The results of study provide an initial understanding of the level of the public’s risk perception to reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Findings also revealed the role of media use in determining risk perception, attitudes and subjective norms and, in turn, change people’s intention to socially distance. This study may add to the literature of behavioral changes in pandemic and provide a framework for both policymakers and practitioners to formulate effective interventions in the future.

Meski merokok dianggap lebih besar keburukannya dibanding manfaatnya namun kegiatan merokok sudah mengurat mengakar pada sebagian masyarakat dunia. Majlis Ulama Indonesia telah mengeluarkan fatwa haram merokok bagi ummat islam. Bagaimana perilaku konsumen rokok setelah keluarnya fatwa ini dianalisis dengan mengambil objek penelitian pada konsumen rokok di Simpang Empat, Pasaman Barat dengan mengaplikasikan theory of planned behavior dengan sedikit modifikasi.Dari pengamatan dan data primer yang diperoleh menunjukkan adanya kesenjangan yang jauh antara normative belief dengan motivation to comply.Inilah dasar bagi peneliti untuk menempatkan kedua faktor ini sebagai variabel yang terpisah dan masing-masing diuji pengaruhnya terhadap niat dan perilaku. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hanya hanya motivation to comply dan perceived behavior control yang berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap niat maupun perilaku. Variabel sikap dan normative belieftidak signifikan pengaruhnya terhadap niat dan perilaku. Hasil penelitian ini memberikan implikasi bahwa meski sikap produsen rokok dan referents atau orang-orang terdekat mereka berpendapat merokok adalah tidak baik, tapi mereka tetap saja merokok.Niat dan perilaku merokok atau tidak merokok hanya dapat dipengaruhi oleh perubahan pada motivasi mengikuti referents dan perceived behavior control. Kata kunci : Perilaku, niat, sikap, normative belief, motivation to comply, perceived behavior control.
