Development Of Identity

The development of Identity Behavior Theory (IBT) has been inspired by identity theory and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), the latter of which has been used to assess the relationships between attitudes, self-efficacy, subjective norm, behavioral intention, and behavioral action. TPB has been used to predict many behaviors including, but not limited to, food choices, health behaviors, and, more recently, the behaviors of students and educators, including school counselors. TPB, however, lacks validity, and, despite a call to assess identity as part of the model, no changes have been made to TPB for over two decades. To fill this gap, IBT is proposed as a new model that is concerned with the role that identity plays in the prediction of behavioral enaction, the process whereby individuals shape their experiences through planning and successful actions. Behavioral enaction comprises behavioral intention and behavioral action, and, as part of IBT, is assessed along with identity, attitudes, self-efficacy, and assertiveness. In this paper, the TPB and IBT are reviewed, along with how to develop an identity scale. Recommendations for using IBT in research and applied practice are offered.

Abstract Background: Oral health is considered as a prominent factor that contribute to quality of life. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can influence oral health. Message framing can play an important role in motivating oral health behaviors. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of message framing on the oral health behaviors and dental plaque among pregnant women.Methods: This randomized field trial was conducted in 2017 on 108 pregnant women in Izeh county, Iran.The participants were randomly divided into three groups; gain-framed, loss-framed, and control group. The research instrument included a two parts questionnaire containing demographic information and oral health knowledge, attitude, behavioral intention, self-efficacy, practice, and dental plaque index. Gain-and loss-framed messages were sent to the intervention groups via cell phones, but the control group did not receive any messages. The participants’ dental plaque were clinically assessed. Data were analyzed using SPSS version, 23.0. P-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: The mean scores of knowledge, attitude, behavioral intention, and self-efficacy were significantly increased in the gain- and loss-framed intervention groups (gain knowledge (6.05±1.90; CI:5.40-6.71); gain attitude(5.00±3.61; CI:3.75-6.24); gain behavioral intention (2.91±1.59; CI:2.36-3.46); gain self-efficacy (4.42±2.69; CI:3.50-5.35); loss knowledge (5.71±1.52; CI:5.19-6.23); loss attitude (4.54±2.67; CI:3.62-5.46); loss behavioral intention (2.25±1.94; CI:1.58-2.92); loss self-efficacy (3.97±2.60; CI:3.07-4.86) (p<0.001). No significant difference was observed in the control group (knowledge (0.38±1.45; CI:0.12-0.89, p=0.135); attitude (0.88±3.63; CI:0.38-2.14, p= 0.166); behavioral intention (-0.38±1.74; CI: -0.98-0.22, p=0.2); self-efficacy (.0.50±3.23; CI: -1.62-0.62, p=0.37). The rising trend in the mean score of the behaviors in the intervention groups was significantly higher than that in the control group (p<0.001). The ratio of dental plaque on teeth surfaces in the gain- and loss-framed intervention groups also showed a significant decrease compared to control group (gain dental plaque (16.46±11.66; CI:12.46-20.47, p<0.001); loss dental plaque (15.06±8.52; CI:12.13-17.99, p<0.001). Conclusion: Text message intervention improved knowledge, attitude, behavioral intention, self-efficacy, and dental plaque among pregnant women. The results show that text messages mattered, but the framing did not"; because there was a difference between intervention and control groups but not that "message framing matters" because the particular framing of the messages had no pronounced effect.

National Programs

Entrepreneurship education is one of the national programs to boost the number of entrepreneurs in the country. The success of creating educated entrepreneurs depends on several factors such as the curriculum, mentors, the method and the readiness of the participant. The intention to become an entrepreneur cannot be separated from the individual’s self-efficacy. This research examined the effect of master’s students’ self-efficacy on their entrepreneurial intention, with the mediation of the Planned Behavior Theory variables. The sample included 134 master’s students out of the total of 203. All had been conducting business for at least six months and were recruited through purposive sampling. A 1-5 Likert scale questionnaire was given to the respondents in print and through Google Forms. Quantitative data analysis was done using smart-PLS version 3. Two of the three variables of the Planned Behavior Theory were significant as mediators of self-efficacy, namely attitude toward behavior and subjective norm. Perceived behavioral control did not have an effect on self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intent through mediation.

Background: Upper limb functional exercise (ULFE) has a positive effect on promoting the rehabilitation of upper limb function. However, little is known, about what drives postoperative patients to engage in and even maintain the advised exercises. This study integrated the health action process approach (HAPA) and the theory of planned behavior theory (TPB) to investigate the psychosocial determinants on the initiation and maintenance of ULFE in breast cancer patients. In addition, this study also tests key hypotheses relating to reasoned and implicit pathways to ULFE and its maintenance among postoperative patients with breast cancer.Methods: Purposive sampling was used to recruit patients from two breast cancer wards in a provincial hospital in Jiangsu, China. Patients (N = 430) completed self-reported questionnaire about constructs from integrated theories concerning ULFE at an initial time point (T1): task self-efficacy, positive outcome expectations, negative outcome expectations, risk perception, attitude behavior, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, behavioral intention, and ULFE-in hospital (ULFE-IH). Three months later (T2), patients self-reported: maintenance self-efficacy, action planning, coping planning, recovery self-efficacy, and ULFE-maintenance (ULFE-M).Results: The model has a good fit (GoF = 0.48). For behavioral intention of ULFE, subjective norm (β = 0.35) and perceived behavioral control (β = 0.61) were positively directly related to behavioral intention. Regarding the initiation of ULFE, perceived behavioral control (β = 0.47) and behavioral intention (β = 0.42) had a direct positive relation to ULFE-IH. In the maintenance of ULFE, action planning (β = 0.30), coping planning (β = 0.21), maintenance self-efficacy (β = 0.32), and recovery self-efficacy (β = 0.09) all had significant positive relation on ULFE-M. In addition, maintenance self-efficacy had a significant positive association on action planning (β = 0.80), coping planning (β = 0.74), and recovery self-efficacy (β = 0.67). Coping planning was significantly predicted by behavioral intention (β = 0.07). Additionally, behavioral intention is a mediator of subjective norm (β = 0.14) and perceived behavioral control (β = 0.25) to ULFE-IH. Action planning, coping planning, and recovery self-efficacy are mediators of maintaining self-efficacy to ULFE-M (β = 0.46).Conclusions: This study presents the first attempt to integrate the health behavior model in ULFE in postoperative patients with breast cancer. The study has shown that the HAPA-TPB integrated model has good applicability and effectiveness to explain and predict ULFE initiation and maintenance. Future work can be considered to develop appropriate intervention strategies based on this integrated behavioral theory.

Behavioral Intention To Use

Purpose This paper aims to examine relationships between attitude, self-efficacy and subjective norm with library patrons’ behavioural intention to use public computing facilities at a library. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 200 undergraduate students enrolled at a higher learning institution in the Federal Territory of Labuan, Malaysia, via a structured questionnaire comprising closed-ended questions. A structural equation modelling technique using Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) computer software version 21 was used to examine the stability of the model with the data and to estimate impacts among factors instantaneously. Findings The results show that library patrons’ behavioral intention to use public computing facilities at the library is widely affected by subjective norm factor, i.e. influence of the support of family members, friends and neighbours. Using public computers in a library helps them to be more independent in completing their assignments and conducting research collaboration, checking email messages, social networking and performing other online tasks. Practical implications The findings of this study provide a better understanding of factors likely to influence library patrons’ behavioral intention to use public computing facilities at a library. It also offers valuable insights into factors which university librarians need to focus on to improve library patrons’ behavioral intention to actively use public computing facilities at a library for quality information retrieval. Originality/value This study replaces perceived behavioral control with self-efficacy in the framework, as it overlaps with the concept of self-efficacy to provide more variance in behavioral intention to use public computing facilities at a library, which has been marginally researched in the Malaysian context.

Experimental Group

BACKGROUND: This study explored the impact of a fatigue management health education intervention (FMI) on flight attendants fatigue management knowledge, attitudes, behavioral intention, self-efficacy, and fatigue intensity.METHODS: A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design was used. The sample included 70 flight attendants of an international airline company in Taiwan. The experimental group (N 34) received an FMI, while the control group (N 36) had no intervention. Fatigue management knowledge, attitude, behavior intention, self-efficacy, and fatigue intensity were assessed at baseline and 1 wk later. Single-factor analysis of covariance and Jensen Neman methods were used to assess the differences in outcomes between the two groups.RESULTS: Attitude and self-efficacy in the experimental group were significantly improved after the FMI [standardized mean difference (SMD), 0.96; 1.98]. The intervention also reduced their fatigue intensity (SMD 6.05) and both knowledge and behavioral intention scores were increased in more than 80% of subjects in the experimental group.DISCUSSION: FMI can effectively improve fatigue management knowledge, attitudes, behavioral intention, and self-efficacy and reduce fatigue intensity in flight attendants.Hu CJ, Lee FP, Hong RM.
