Social marketing initiatives that influence adolescents’ sexual behavior are critical given that adolescents are the most at-risk group for sexually transmitted diseases and unplanned and unwanted pregnancy. This study, involving 1343 middle school– and high school–aged students, explores relationships among several factors that potentially influence adolescents’ sexual knowledge, attitudes, and behavior. The authors examine the influence of several socialization agents, including parents, peers, and mass media. The results show that parental influence is the most consistent socialization agent across age groupings on all dependent variables studied. However, the relative influence of parents, peers, and media may vary between middle school– and high school–aged adolescents. The authors discuss implications for social marketing initiatives, public policy, and further research.

Sekolah berbasis islam merupakan sebuah lembaga pendidikan yang berperan penting sebagai pembentuk kecerdasan spiritual siswa untuk mengelola sikap dan perilakunya dengan baik. Faktanya, semakin lama masyarakat menganggap bahwa sekolah berbasis islam atau dikenal dengan madrasah sudah tidak mampu menjaga dan memelihara tradisi keagaamannya. Hal ini diperoleh dari temuan bahwasanya perilaku siswa sekolah menengah di sekolah umum yang dianggap lebih baik dibandingkan di sekolah berbasis islam. Perlu adanya peningkatan tradisi keagamaan di sekolah berbasis islam untuk mencegah perilaku delinkuensi atau perilaku yang melanggar norma pada siswa, salah satunya melalui layanan bimbingan dan konseling. Terapi wudu menjadi alternatif layanan bimbingan dan konseling yang akan disajikan dalam tulisan ini. Metode atau pendekatan penulisan ini menggunakan kepustakaan dan pengumpulan data yang dilakukan dengan menganalisis sumber-sumber data serta informasi yang relevan dengan tulisan. Dengan demikian, ditemukan hasil bahwasanya terapi wudu merupakan layanan bimbingan dan konseling yang sesuai diterapkan pada siswa sekolah menengah berbasis islam untuk mencegah perilaku delinkuensi.________________________________________________________________ The Islamic-based school is an educational institution that plays an important role as the defining spiritual intelligence of the student  to manage their attitudes and behavior well. In fact, many people consider that Islamic-based school or known as madrasa, is no longer able to preserve and maintain its religious traditions. This is obtained from the finding that the behavior of middle school’s students in public schools is considered better than in Islamic-based schools. There needs to be an increase in religious traditions in Islamic-based schools to prevent delinquency behavior or behavior that violates the value of students, one of which is through guidance and counseling services. Wudu therapy is an alternative guidance and counseling service that will be presented in this paper. This method or approach of this writing uses literature and data collection done by analyzing data sources and relevant information to this writing.

This research applies the binding communication model to the sustainable communication strategies implemented in most hotels. The binding communication model links a persuasive message with the implementation of a low-cost commitment to strengthen the link between the attitudes and behavior of those receiving the message. We compared the effectiveness of a classical communication strategy (n = 86) with that of a binding communication strategy (n = 101) to encourage guests to choose sustainable behavior. Our results show that using the binding communication strategy generates significantly more sustainable behavior in guests than using the classical communication strategy. We discuss our results and suggest future avenues of research.

Abstract. The core aim of the present study is to compare the effects of a safety campaign and a behavior modification program on traffic safety. As is the case in community-based health promotion, the present study's approach of the attitude campaign was based on active participation of the group of recipients. One of the reasons why many attitude campaigns conducted previously have failed may be that they have been society-based public health programs. Both the interventions were carried out simultaneously among students aged 18-19 years in two Norwegian high schools (n = 342). At the first high school the intervention was behavior modification, at the second school a community-based attitude campaign was carried out. Baseline and posttest data on attitudes toward traffic safety and self-reported risk behavior were collected. The results showed that there was a significant total effect of the interventions although the effect depended on the type of intervention. There were significant differences in attitude and behavior only in the sample where the attitude campaign was carried out and no significant changes were found in the group of recipients of behavior modification.

Abstract. Most employees participate in workplace meetings, and their experiences in meetings can vary greatly, which can lead to positive or negative effects on both job attitudes and behavior. In this study, we examined the effect that a meeting attendee’s competence in the meeting topic had on their participation in the meeting and their perception of meeting effectiveness. Results indicated those with higher levels of competence in the meeting topic were more likely to participate and through participation found their meeting more effective; this relationship was stronger when employee dissent in the meetings was high. Leaders should ensure that those who are present in a meeting are competent in the topic of the meeting and encourage them to participate.
