Social networking sites (SNSs) have become popular in India with the proliferation of Internet. SNSs have gained the interests of academicians and researchers. The current study is an endeavor to understand the continuance of social networking sites in India. The study applies an extended version of theory of planned behavior. Additional factors privacy concerns and habits were incorporated into the standard theory of planned behaviour. A survey was conducted in a Central University in India. Overall, data was collected from 150 respondents. PLS-SEM was used to test the proposed model. All the hypotheses except the moderating role of habits between intentions and continued use of social networking sites, were supported by the results. Habits were found to affect continued use of social networking sites indirectly through continued intentions.

Sexual Intention

Introduction: Based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), sexual intention is determined by three main socio-cognitive factors which are permissive attitudes, social-norms and self-efficacy in performing premarital sexual activity. Premarital sex associated with increased risk of sexually transmitted diseases and detrimental social implications. The aim of this study was to explore the correlation of the socio-cognitive factors in predicting intention to engage in premarital sex amongst late adolescents in Kuantan government secondary schools. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 466 pre-university students aged 18-19 years from nine government secondary schools in Kuantan district. A self-administered validated Youth Sexual Intention Questionnaire (YSI-Q) was used. Statistical analyses were done using IBM SPSS version 22.0. Results: Permissive attitude (r=0.579, p<0.001), perception of social-norms (r=0.513, p<0.001) and perceived self-efficacy (r=0.253, p<0.001) were positively correlated with the sexual intention towards premarital sex. The higher the permissive attitude, social-norms and perceived self-efficacy, the higher the sexual intention score. There was a significant difference in the level of sexual intention between male (35.6%) and female (64.4%) with mean (SD) score of 10.54 (3.8) and 7.3 (2.9) respectively. Students with premarital sex experience (1.5%) showed significantly higher score in sexual intention than student without premarital sex experience (t=4.54, p<0.001). Conclusion: This study confirmed permissive attitude, perception of social-norms and perceived self-efficacy were positively correlated with sexual intention towards premarital sex among the late adolescents. Therefore, it is important to consider this TPB theoretical framework in designing sexual abstinence intervention to curb the unsafe sexual behaviour.

We enrich the extended theory of planned behaviour (ETPB), to which we introduced two additional components – academic and computer literacy – to examine how different behavioural, moral and educational traits influence students’ intentions to plagiarise. We argue that the relationship between components of the ETPB and students’ intention to plagiarise is likely to be nuanced – and may display significant divergence depending on the students’ awareness of text matching software utilisation. Using a sample of around 400 students from the University of Montenegro, our results partly confirmed that the extended theory of planned behaviour is an accurate predictor of the students’ intention to plagiarise. More precisely, favourable attitudes towards plagiarism, low perceived behavioural control and low moral obligation influence positively students’ intention to plagiarise. On the contrary, low subjective norms as well as both low academic and high computer literacy are found to be not significantly related to the students’ intention to plagiarise. Further analysis reveals that the introduction of the moderator variable (students’ awareness of text matching software utilisation) weakens the relation between the ETPB’s components and students’ intention to plagiarise. Overall, the obtained findings undoubtedly demonstrate that students’ awareness of the utilisation of the text matching software acts as a strong impediment to the intention to plagiarise, mainly neutralizing the positive relations between the ETPB’s components and intention to plagiarise.
