Despite the importance of the concept of involvement, it remains misunderstood. No attempt has been made to establish the reliability and validity of the concept. To resolve apparently conflicting research findings, Houston and Rothschild posit a paradigm which classifies involvement as situational, enduring, and response. The author assesses the reliability and validity of this tripartite classification of involvement by using a multitrait-multimethod matrix approach and a linear structural relations analysis approach. Subsequently, the S-O-R formulation and causality are also tested.

El artículo analiza los determinantes de la estructura de capital para una muestra de 113 empresas registradas en la Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago de Chile. El período de estudio comprende de 1990 a 1998. A diferencia de trabajos anteriores para el caso de Chile, se utiliza Lisrel (Linear Structural Relations) para analizar los determinantes y se encuentran diferencias importantes al momento de comparar los resultados obtenidos por mínimos cuadrados ordinarios (MCO). En el primer caso sólo la rentabilidad y la tangibilidad de los activos surgen como variables significativas, esto es, cuanto mayor rentabilidad de la empresa menor endeudamiento y cuanto mayor proporción de activos colaterales (tangibilidad) mayor endeudamiento. Finalmente, al usar MCO se encuentra fuerte apoyo a los siguientes determinantes: tangibilidad, rentabilidad, regulación y calidad y un apoyo menos significativo al crecimiento, tamaño y clasificación industrial. Por lo tanto los errores de medición pueden ser importantes al estimar modelos, es decir los indicadores pueden no capturar bien o completamente el constructor de interés.

Screening Behaviors

In this study, we aimed to determine the breast cancer screening behavior of women and to investigate the relationship between health beliefs and screening behaviors. The study was cross-sectional. It was conducted between April 2017 and June 2017 with 416 women aged ≥40. The Sociodemographic Information Form and the Champion’s Health Belief Model Scale were used to collect data. In the statistical analysis, the number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson chi-square test, and multivariate binary logistic regression analysis were used. The rates for participating women performing breast self-examination, having clinical breast examination, and undergoing mammography were 11.8%, 8.9%, and 11.3%, respectively. Perceived susceptibility, seriousness, self-efficacy, benefits, health motivation, and perceived barriers were found to have strong associations with screening behaviors (p < 0.05). In this study, we found that few women performed breast self-examination, had clinical breast examination and mammography. In the present study, women perceived barriers related to both performing breast self-examination and undergoing mammography.

Background African American women continue to have higher mortality rates of breast cancer when compared to other women, and evidence suggests that early detection of breast cancer can lead to favorable outcomes, yet there remains a paucity of literature about health beliefs and the utilization of three screening practices, namely breast self-examination, clinical breast examination and mammography in California, a state that currently has one of the highest breast cancer mortality rates among African American women. Purpose To investigate the relationship between health beliefs and three breast cancer detection practices, e.g. breast self-examination, clinical breast examination, and mammography in a cohort of African American women. Methods Using a descriptive correlational design, a convenience sample of two hundred and eighty-two (n = 282) self-identified women from six regional chapters of a national Black women’s political organization in California, completed a Demographic Data Questionnaire and Champion’s Health Belief Model Scale which assessed the hypothesized relationships of health beliefs and breast cancer detection practices. Results Among this culturally diverse group of women (49.8% American, 28.8% African, 21.4% West Indian), health motivation was positively related to the practice of BSE and annual physician visitation for clinical breast examinations. Health locus of control was positively related to the practice of BSE. Having relatives and friends who were diagnosed with breast cancer was strongly associated with having a mammogram and annual physician visitation for clinical breast examinations. Conclusion These findings may be used to target and develop interventions that are tailored to the unique characteristics of these diverse women.
