As there became increasing the numbers of motorcycles owned by eachfamily, the adolescent had lots of opportunities to drive the motorcycle. Togo out conveniently and quickly, they drove the motorcycle; however, they drovethe mototcycle without license under their illegal age. It was very possible forthe adolescents' motorcycling without license to be seriously injured or to bekilled in traffic accidents. So it was very urgent and necessary for the problemsolving as well as injury prevention and control to understand the behavior forthe adolescents' motorcycling without license. Hence, it was the prupose of thisresearch to apply the theory of planned begavior to explore the influences andthe causal poth of the behavior for the adolescent motorcyclists withoutlicense. Under the two-wave prospective follow-up study, the valid and reliablescales were administrated to one thousand nine hundred and sixty-four students,randomly sampled from all the vocational schools at the academic year of 1996to 1997 in Taiwan through two-stage stratified cluster sampling withprobabilities proportional to sizes. The covariance structural analyses werechosen to analyze the data. It was found that from the viewpoint of thestatistical tests and the adequacy of model fitting, the theory of plannedbehavior can efficiently predict the behavioral intention and the behavior amongthe adolescent mototrcyclists without license. The perceived behavioral controland attitude toward the behavior were the most and the next important predictorsfor the behavioral intention, respectively; however, the subjective norm wasnot. Again, the behavioral intention was stronger than the perceived behavioralcontrol in predicting the behavior, as expected. |
