The purpose of This study was to predict and understand the male students' intention and behavior to use motorcycle-safety helmet on the basis of the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Health Belief Model. Data were collected during questionnaire surveys on a cluster sample of 248 male students who operate motorcycles in a junior college. The analysis revealed that each model was a significant predictor of intention. The relation between behavior and intention was .69. Regression analysis to predict intention from the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Health Belief Model accounted for a significant proportion of the variance (R tpb= .51; R hbm = .15), These regression models suggested that educators who effected a change in attitudes, perceived behavioral control, perceived severity and perceived barriers of action may also change behavioral intention. Meanwhile, the suggestion of developing traffic-safety education was shown by comparing the differences on specific beliefs between intentional and non-intentional students. |
