Theoretical Framework Over Vivid Facets on Student’s Intention To Payback Education Loan in India

Education loan is a magical solution to address the education financing crises. It bridges the gap between accessibility and sustainability but incidents of defaults in the repayment of education loan are on rise. The Present study covers various theories has been thoroughly analysed to understand the factors which influence the intention of student to repay the education loan. A comprehensive theoretical framework has been designed by reviewing various literatures on student intention. This structural framework encompasses - Attitude to repay or default of education loan, Integrity, Parental influence, awareness of loan agreement, Willingness to invest in educational plans, Student’s characteristics, Financial ability to pay and student’s priority from Theory of reasoned action, Theory of Planned behaviour, Theory of human capital and Theory of ability to pay. In this research study, all efforts have been made to determine the possible linkage between factors that influence student’s intention to pay or default the education loan.

Theory of Reasoned Action - Theory of Planned Behavior

How can behavior be explained and predicted? How can it be changed? The theory of reasoned action and the theory of planned behavior provide answers to these questions. This textbook, which is now available in a second, updated edition, provides a concise and understandable introduction to the fundamentals, methodology and empirical findings of the aforementioned social psychological theories. Subsequently, it systematically examines their applicability to questions from communication science and shows how they can be integrated into relevant theories from that discipline. This book is not only suitable for students and teachers of communication science, social psychology and health sciences, but also for all practitioners interested in this subject.

Exploring the Role of Media Use Within an Integrated Behavioral Model (IBM) Approach to Vote Likelihood

Political interest is a key predictor of likelihood to vote. We argue that the political interest–vote intention relationship can be explained by well-established theories that predict behavior across domains (e.g., theory of reasoned action, theory of planned behavior). Relying on the integrated behavioral model, we propose a core mediation model with vote likelihood (i.e., behavioral intention) as the dependent variable. Two types of media use (conservative and liberal–moderate) are then assessed in relation to the core model. We explore the ways in which our results contribute to theory and outline a research agenda.

Management of Student Entrepreneurship Development at the West Java-Indonesia Private Islamic College

This study aims to explore the relations between the factors of the start-up environment and entrepreneurial intentions of students in universities in Vietnam and the Philippines by com­bining key elements of theory of reasoned action, theory of planned behaviour, theory of en­trepreneurial events and model of entrepreneurial potential. Research findings were expected to test the appropriateness of this proposed model in the context of Vietnam and the Philippines. A bilateral survey was carried out among 819 students at five universities in Vietnam and the Philippines and the Structural Equation Modelling was applied to estimate the determinants of the students’ entrepreneurial intentions. The findings indicated that subjective norms, en­trepreneurial education, entrepreneurial desirability, and entrepreneurial motivation were po­sitively related to perceived feasibility. Entrepreneurial education was the key determinant of entrepreneurial intention. Barriers for startups demonstrated a negative effect on the perceived feasibility. The key role of entrepreneurial education to entrepreneurial intention was confirmed in both countries. However, there are existing challenges in entrepreneurial education which required more respective supports from governments to promote the enterprise development.

Campaign Video Usage in Preventing Cervical Cancer among Female Students

Cervical cancer prevention campaign video contains information ranging from understanding, the symptoms caused to how to avoid cervical cancer. This campaign video is one way to educate the public about the importance of knowing cervical cancer. The purpose of this study was to find out how effective a cervical cancer prevention campaign video on knowledge attitude and intend to behavior among female students. The theory used is Planned Behavior theory which is the result of the refinement of the reasoned action theory developed by Ajzen and Fishbein (1980). The method used is quantitative with the experimental methods. This study used an experimental pre-post-post-test static group design. It could estimate the equivalence of the two groups and have the opportunity to correct differences that have arisen before the event. It must have access to groups before and after events. The controlled group and the experiment group consisted of 15 people per each group. The research data obtained from the questionnaires were processed and analyzed using independent samples t-test. The technique of collecting data by spreading the questionnaire which was distributed into a couple of groups. The result of this research is campaign video does not give a significant effect on knowledge, attitude and behavioral intention of female students neither in the controlled groups nor in experiment group.

PATH ANALYSIS FAKTOR YANG MEMENGARUHI KETEPATAN PEMAKAIAN KONTRASEPSI SUNTIK DMPA BERDASARKAN REASONED ACTION THEORY (RAT)

Background:In Indonesia birth control by injection is the main choice for family planning acceptors (BKKBN, 2015). The highest percentage of new family planning participants in Central Java in 2016 was injection contraception of 5.4% (Health Profile of Central Java Province, 2016). Active KB participants in Magelang Regency in 2015 used the most non-long-term contraception method type injections, by 50.5%. (Magelang District Health Profile, 2015). Objective:Analyzing factors that influence the accuracy of DMPA injection KB acceptors based on reasoned action theory in PMB Dhiaulhaq Magelang Regency, with variable attitudes, subjective norm, intentions and behavior. Methods:Analytic survey research using a cross sectional approach. The population were all DMPA injection KB acceptors, sampling technique uses a case group and a control group that is fixied diseases sampling. Results:Perception directly affects the norm with a p value of 0.007. Norm directly affects attitude with a p value of 0.007. Attitude directly influences intention with a p value of <0.001. Intention directly affects the accuracy / usage with a p value of 0.012. Conclusion:The intention directly influences the behavior of the accuracy of visits in the use of DMPA injection KB. Perception of control has an indirect effect through subjectifve norms, attitudes, and intentions.

Predicting purchasing behavior of green food in Algerian context

Purpose The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, the verification of applicability of reasoned action theory to analyze consumer behavior in Algerian context; and second, the identification and analysis of factors influencing purchasing behavior in green food sector. Design/methodology/approach The authors proposed a model based on reasoned action theory that combines two types of variables, the green marketing type and personal type, in order to predict purchasing behavior of green food. The authors have established a structural equations modeling, with a path analysis on a sample of 304 Algerian consumers from Algiers town. Findings The model was confirmed and the results showed how green marketing and personal factors influence the green food purchasing behavior in direct and indirect way, in presence of the mediating variables’ attitude toward green food and intention to buy green food. Research limitations/implications There is no database or any information concerning green consumption in Algerian context. There is a lack of information about green production in food field. The choice of reasoned action theory as a theory explaining the decision-making process leading to purchasing act is based on fact that the Algerian field of food sector is virgin of this type of analysis, so the authors thought it is appropriate to apply the reasoned action theory as a first initiative in this field. Also, a more recent and more innovative psychological theory should be applied in the future studies. Practical implications The study will give researchers interested in Algerian context a better understanding of consumer behavior, especially in green product case, and will open new paths for future research in the same field by the application of another psychological theory that is more recent and innovative; the study can open research paths for other fields as well, such as consumer behavior toward green cosmetic products in Algeria. Social implications The implications of this research can assist marketers for better positioning in green food market using the results indicated in research. The better understanding of factors influencing consumer purchasing behavior will encourage contractors to invest in this field in Algiers town context. Originality/value The study was established in a context where consumer market data of green food are non-existent, so the research represents an orientation to green food marketers toward a better positioning in relation to influence factors of their market target.
