Fishbein's Belief-Attitude-Intention-Behavior model states that behavior is predicted on intention, intention is predicated on attitudes, and attitudes are predicated on beliefs. Path analysis was used to test the model with respect to the contraceptive behaviors of 54 college males. In spite of the heterogeneity of the sample, the data supported the model, suggesting that nursing interventions may need to be directed toward beliefs rather than behaviors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
