“…A large meta-analysis [ 15 ] of applications of theory of planned behavior showed that subjective norms were weak predictors of intention and behavior. Recent studies [ 33 , 34 ] that have used the theory of planned behavior empirically for health behavior have suggested that subjective norms are not the most critical predictor. In contrast, some argued that subjective norms are strong predictors [ 35 , 36 ].…”

Background Promoting vaccination and eliminating vaccine hesitancy are key measures for controlling vaccine-preventable diseases. Objective We aimed to understand the beliefs surrounding and drivers of vaccination behavior, and their relationships with and influence on vaccination intention and practices. Methods We conducted a web-based survey in 31 provinces in mainland China from May 24, 2021 to June 15, 2021, with questions pertaining to vaccination in 5 dimensions: attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, intention, and behavior. We performed hierarchical regression analysis and structural equation modeling based on the theory of planned behavior—in which, the variables attitude, subjective norms, and intention each affect the variable intention; the variable intention mediates the relationships of attitude and subjective norms with behavior, and the variable perceived behavioral control moderates the strength of this mediation—to test the validity of the theoretical framework. Results A total of 9924 participants, aged 18 to 59 years, were included in this study. Vaccination intention mediated the relationships of attitude and subjective norms with vaccination behavior. The indirect effect of attitude on vaccination behavior was 0.164 and that of subjective norms was 0.255, and the difference was statistically significant (P<.001). The moderated mediation analysis further indicated that perceived behavioral control would affect the mediation when used as moderator, and the interaction terms for attitude (β=–0.052, P<.001) and subjective norms (β=–0.028, P=.006) with perceived behavioral control were significant. Conclusions Subjective norms have stronger positive influences on vaccination practices than attitudes. Perceived behavioral control, as a moderator, has a substitution relationship with attitudes and subjective norms and weakens their positive effects on vaccination behavior.

“…Findings showed all TPB constructs improved between baseline and 3 months after the intervention, suggesting that TPB-based interventions may be effective in promoting weight management. Liu et al [12] adopted the TPB to compare factors affecting smoking cessation intentions of male and female volunteer soldiers. Survey results showed that subjective norms (friends) was a key factor for both genders in smoking cessation intention while perceived behavioral control; as the perception of easiness or difficulty to carry out the action, was a main factor for male participants.…”

This study examined Emirati youths’ intention to pursue a military career post-national service with a modified Theory of Planned Behavior model which assumes that the likelihood of performing a behavior is determined by the strength of intention to perform that behavior and intention is determined by attitude towards the behavior; subjective norms concerning the behavior; and self-efficacy. Interviews and surveys were conducted with 238 Emirati male youths and parents. It found that younger less educated youths were more interested in pursuing a military career; believing that it would lead to beneficial outcomes, than their older counterparts. Most parents approved of their sons pursuing a military career and the latter’s awareness of this opinion could increase the likelihood of youths taking up a military career. Finally, although younger less educated youths showed increased interest over time in pursuing a military career post-national service, they were more likely to change their mind about their career choice. In contrast, older and more educated youths were more resolute about their career intentions and more likely to carry out their decisions but most were not interested in a military career. The findings could be used to meet the human resource challenges faced by the UAE Armed Forces in recruiting Emirati military personnel.
