Abstract Background. The paper is aimed at understanding the main antecedents related to the blood donation propensity related to both donors and non-donors. With our research, we are going to analyse the two perspectives in order to identify similarities and differences concentrating on the Italian context. Our findings can be useful also in the COVID-19 epoch in which blood availability continue to be a primary need of hospitals. Blood is a vital resource that strongly affects the efficacy and sustainability of every national healthcare system and the system’s ability to achieve the goal of universal coverage. This is especially true in the COVID-19 epidemic, in which there is the need for blood among hospitals. Methods. The purpose of this paper is to understand the main antecedents of citizens’ blood donation intention and the propensity to enhance word of mouth among both donors and non-donors. To fulfil this purpose, the Theory of Planned Behaviour is adopted as a theoretical lens. An empirical investigation was performed in Italy, adopting a mixed methods research design. First, a qualitative analysis was carried out through 30 in-depth interviews. Then, a survey was used to quantitatively investigate the intention to donate among both donors (N=173) and non-donors (N=87). A conceptual model was developed and tested through Structural Equation Modeling, developing a multi-group approach. Results. The present study confirms the relations proposed by the Theory of Planned Behaviour, even though some differences between the two groups are shown. The construct Information and Communication is crucial for donors, non-donors, and non-donor inhibitors. Service quality has an impact on the propensity to generate Word Of Mouth. Conclusion. This paper reveals the main differences between donor and non-donor perspectives. Fruitful insights for enhancing blood donation awareness are provided. Our findings can also be useful in the COVID-19 epidemic, in which there is more need for blood in hospitals.

The indoor tanning industry poses a long-term public health risk. Despite the adverse health effects, indoor tanning seems to be gaining considerable popularity. The study examined indoor tanning intentions and behaviour within UK young adults using an extended theory of planned behaviour model, which included variables on “appearance reasons to tan,” “perceived susceptibility to damaging appearance,” “perceived susceptibility to health consequences,” and “tanning knowledge.” The model was successful in predicting indoor tanning intentions and behaviour (explained 17% and 71%, resp.). An interesting outcome was the magnitude of the variable “appearance reasons to tan.” A current tanned appearance therefore seemed to outweigh any adverse future appearance or health consequences caused by indoor tanning. Appearance-focused interventions to reduce such behaviour may now prove to be efficacious within a UK sample.

Malaysia generates 0.8 kg waste per capita per day. Despite the recycling previous programmeslaunched, the national recycling rate was as low as 5%. Households’ involvement is expected to be the key factor to the success of recycling. Therefore, empirical study is needed to examineon the behavioural determinants of households’ recycling behaviour. The paper aims to extend the Theory of Planned Behaviour in predicting the households’ recycling behaviour. The paper will provide useful information and guidelines to the respective authorities in designingstrategies to encourage higher participation from households in the recycling programs.
