In this study, we modified the theory of planned behaviour and proposed that attitude towards gambling explains and predicts gambling support. We explored whether locals and tourists support or oppose the gambling industry and the factors that led to support or opposition. This information is vital, as policy decisions are often made by taking into consideration  public support. Using a structured questionnaire, we gathered data from 385 respondents from Goa, a popular tourist and gambling destination in India. Through structural equation modelling, we found that most of the variance (87%) in support of gambling  was explained by attitude. Perceived benefits and risks explained the significant variance (58%) in attitude towards gambling, as indicated in the theory of planned behaviour. The coefficients were significant except for the path from social risk to attitude, which was removed from the final model. The direct path from benefits and risk to support were not significant. In addition, the path from personal risk to attitude was moderated by the respondent’s gambling behaviour. Although gamblers had a more positive attitude with increasing personal risk, non-gamblers had a more negative attitude with increasing personal risk. This finding confirms the risk-seeking behaviour of gamblers. Résumé Cet article modifie la théorie du comportement planifié et avance que l’attitude à l’égard des jeux de hasard explique et prédit l’appui donné à ces jeux. L’étude vise à déterminer si les habitants et les touristes appuient l’industrie des jeux de hasard ou s’ils s’y opposent, et à cerner les facteurs menant à un appui ou à une opposition. Il s’agit d’une information de grande importance, car les décisions d’orientation prennent souvent en considération l’appui du public. Des données ont été recueillies au moyen d’un questionnaire structuré auprès de 385 répondants de Goa, en Inde, une destination touristique et de jeu très prisée. À l’aide d’une modélisation par équation structurelle, la recherche a révélé que la variance (87 %) dans l’appui aux jeux de hasard s’explique en majeure partie par l’attitude. Comme le suggère la théorie du comportement planifié, les avantages et les risques perçus expliquent la variance importante (58 %) dans l’attitude à l’égard des jeux de hasard. Les coefficients sont significatifs, à l’exception de la piste causale entre le risque social et l’attitude, qui a été retirée du modèle final. Les pistes directes allant des avantages et des risques vers l’appui n’étaient pas significatives. Il est apparu que les comportements de jeu des répondants avaient un effet modérateur sur la piste allant du risque personnel vers l’attitude. L’attitude des joueurs était de plus en plus positive à mesure qu’augmentait le risque personnel, tandis que celle des non-joueurs était de plus en plus négative. Ce résultat confirme l’existence d’un comportement de recherche du risque chez les joueurs.

Business disruption from cyberattacks is a growing concern, yet cyberinsurance uptake remains low. Using an online behavioural economics experiment with 4800 participants across four EU countries, this study tests a predictive model of cyberinsurance adoption, incorporating elements of Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) and the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) as well as factors in relation to risk propensity and price. During the experiment, participants were given the opportunity to purchase different cybersecurity measures and cyberinsurance products before performing an online task. Participants likelihood of suffering a cyberattack was dependent upon their adoption of cybersecurity measures and their behaviour during the online task. The consequences of any attack were dependent upon the participants insurance decisions. Structural equation modelling was applied and the model was further developed to include elements of the wider security ecosystem. The final model shows that all TPB factors, and response efficacy from the PMT, positively predicted adoption of premium cyberinsurance. Interestingly, adoption of cybersecurity measures was associated with safer behaviour online, contrary to concerns of “moral hazard”. The findings highlight the need to consider the larger cybersecurity ecosystem when designing interventions to increase adoption of cyberinsurance and/or promote more secure online behaviour.

Abstract This study aimed to explore the relationships between situational and psychological factors and Hong Kong citizens’ plastic waste management (PWM) intentions based on an extended theory of planned behaviour model with situational factors. A total of 996 Hong Kong permanent residents were surveyed, and data were analysed using structural equation modelling. The results revealed that situational factors had a direct and positive effect on PWM intention, but also affected PWM intention indirectly through their significant effects on attitude and perceived behavioural control regarding PWM. The implications for environmental education and policy are discussed.

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 theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and the concept of negative anticipated emotions (NAEs) have attracted research attention in the formulation of effective preventive interventions. This approach has identified several key constructs of the TPB (i.e., intentions, attitudes, subjective norms, perceptions of behavioural control) and NAEs as valid predictors of gambling behaviours and problems. However, no empirical investigation has used these constructs in the design or evaluation of a preventive intervention for adolescent problem gambling. The current research aimed to assess the efficacy of targeting NAEs and key TPB constructs in a prevention video for modifying gambling beliefs, intentions, and behaviours. A sample of 280 high school students were randomly assigned to either an intervention or a control condition. Participants were assessed at pre-intervention, post-intervention, and 3-month follow-up. Results reveal that the video was not effective in producing desired changes in NAEs, the key constructs of the TPB, or the frequency of gambling behaviour. The findings suggest that the video, delivered as a universal preventive intervention, may be insufficient for modifying NAEs and other TPB key constructs, or for changing gambling behaviours.Pour la formulation d’interventions préventives efficaces, l’attention de chercheurs s’est portée sur la théorie du comportement planifié et le concept d’émotions négatives anticipées. Cette approche a permis de relever plusieurs constructions clés de la théorie du comportement planifié (soit, les intentions, attitudes, normes subjectives, perceptions du contrôle comportemental) et des émotions négatives anticipées comme indicateurs valides de comportements et de problèmes liés au jeu. Cependant, aucune étude empirique n’a utilisé ces constructions dans la conception ou l’évaluation d’une intervention préventive pour le jeu des adolescents. La recherche actuelle visait donc à évaluer dans quelle mesure il était efficace de cibler les émotions négatives anticipées et les constructions clés du comportement planifié dans une vidéo de prévention afin de modifier les croyances, les intentions et les comportements du jeu. Un échantillon de 280 élèves du secondaire a été affecté au hasard à une condition d’intervention ou de contrôle. Les participants ont été évalués avant et après l’intervention et au suivi, trois mois plus tard. Les résultats révèlent que la vidéo n’a pas été efficace pour produire les changements souhaités dans le cas des émotions négatives anticipées, les constructions clés du comportement planifié ou la fréquence du comportement du jeu. Les résultats permettent de conclure que la vidéo présentée comme intervention préventive universelle ne suffit pas à modifier les émotions négatives anticipées ni d’autres constructions clés du comportement planifié ou des comportements de jeu.

Demand for rhino horn in Asian markets is driving a rhino poaching crisis in Africa. This study examined rhino horn demand using the theory of planned behaviour and the theory of interpersonal behaviour. We conducted a survey of 427 individuals in Hanoi, Vietnam, including 281 rhino horn users and 146 non-users. We empirically tested all constructs of the two theories predicting intention to purchase, including attitude, subjective norms, social factors, perceived behavioral control, facilitating conditions, affect, and habit using structural equation modelling. Perceived behavioral control and habit were the sole determinants of the intention to purchase rhino horn. Respondents with higher disposable income and better knowledge about how to purchase and use rhino horn and those with previous experience using rhino horn were more likely to intend to purchase this good. However, frequent users had a lower intention to purchase rhino horn in the near future than those having used rhino horn only once or a few times. We discuss the implications of our results for policy-making and the informed design of behaviour modification strategies to reduce rhino horn demand. Our study also highlights the benefit of combining different behavioral theories in studying sensitive behaviours such as the consumption of illegal luxury wildlife products.

Cash waqf plays a big role in economy and society in the country, and also play a vital role in the advancement of socio economic wellbeing of the Muslim community. Scholars believe that contribution of waqf by using cash is much important and more relevant due to its flexibility than waqf properties in the present day. In Malaysia, cash waqf is one of the alternative instruments that can overall improve the social welfare and reduce the poverty rate and at the same time, lessen the burden of the government. Many ways have been proposed to encourage the society to contribute cash waqf for the benefits of the ummah. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the behaviour that influence the contribution of cash waqf in Malaysia using the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). In line with technology advancement, it is expected that technology adoption in the method of collection cash waqf could be a steppingstone to increase the amount of fund. With this reason, technology usage will be proposed to enhance the contribution of cash waqf. In addition, perception on performance of cash waqf proposed as moderator variable in this theory. This study used 284 respondents who were employed Muslims to identify the factor influence contribution of cash waqf. The Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyse data through correlation analysis. Referring to the correlation analysis, the finding discovered that there is a positive and strong relationship between Theory of Planned Behaviour and technology usage with contribution of cash waqf, hence it can be summarized that, technology usage could increase intention of Muslims to contibute cash waqf as technology advancement implemented in the method of collection. However, perception on performance of cash waqf is not significant in this research. Keywords: Cash waqf, technology advancement, technology usage, Theory of Planned behaviour (TPB),perception.

Transport Safety

Menurut data dari Kepolisian Republik Indonesia, 61% kasus terjadinya kecelakaan adalah karena faktor manusia. Kementerian Perhubungan (Kemenhub) juga mencatat bahwa sedikitnya 2-3 orang meninggal dunia per harinya akibat kecelakaan lalu lintas dimana pada posisi pertama kecelakaan disebabkan oleh pengendara sepeda motor. Land Transport Safety Authority (LTSA) pada tahun 2001 juga menemukan bahwa mengebut (speeding) menjadi faktor utama dalam kematian pengendara kendaraan bermotor. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukannya penelitian yang dapat mengungkapkan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi perilaku mengebut sehingga mekanisme pencegahan perilaku tersebut dapat dibuat. Sebuah kuesioner dikembangkan sebagai instrumen penelitian berdasarkan Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), Drivers Behaviour Questionnaire (DBQ), Classical Deterrence Theory (CDT) dan Revised Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (r-RST). Terdapat 317 responden yang mengisi kuesioner tersebut. Metode analisis yang digunakan untuk mengolah data tersebut adalah dengan menggunakan Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). Hasil dari 317 pengendara di Indonesia menunjukkan bahwa Perceived Behavioural Control (PBC) merupakan variabel yang paling mempengaruhi niat seseorang untuk melakukan perilaku mengebut. Sehingga, salah satu rekomendasi pencegahan berdasarkan hasil tersebut adalah dengan memberikan hambatan agar pengendara tidak merasa termotivasi untuk melakukan perilaku mengebut.
