“…This is aligned with the theory and with the results of recent studies involving the COVID-19 pandemic (Barile et al, 2021;Gaube, Fischer, & Lermer, 2021;Trifiletti, Shamloo, Faccini, & Zaka, 2021;Wollast, Schmitz, Bigot, & Luminet, 2021). Despite at least one divergent result in a recent study (Pan & Liu, 2022), a meta-analysis covering 83 papers about TPB and COVID-19 confirmed subjective norms as a significant predictor of both behavioral intention and behavior (Fischer & Karl, 2022). Subjective norms are influenced by normative beliefs considering the expectations of relatives, friends, and peers (Ajzen & Madden, 1986).…”

The use of masks to prevent COVID-19 infections generated much controversy and disagreements among the population, infectious disease specialists, and government representatives. Western countries were not used to using facial masks, and their adoption can be considered a non-technological innovation. This article explores the determinants of the intention to adopt, the actual use, and the continued intention to use a facemask to prevent COVID-19 infections in Brazil. Through structural equation modeling (SEM), relationships between constructs from the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and the construct of trust in the authorities were applied to test the study's hypotheses. The results suggest that perceived behavior control, subjective norms, and trust in the authorities are significant motivators for the actual use and continued intention to use facial masks in Brazil.

“…Recent studies have validated the utility of RAA/TPB to understand intentions to wear a mask in public and to get vaccinated. Pan and Liu (2022) found that attitude and descriptive norm predicted intention to use a mask on an airplane during COVID-19, with attitude being the primary driver for young and middle-aged travelers. Andarge and colleagues (2020) found subjective norm (called injunctive norm in RAA) and perceived behavioral control to be the belief factors that should be targeted for interventions to help adults with chronic conditions practice personal prevention measures.…”

Background: Nonresidential fires and resultant injuries and deaths have been on the rise the last decade in the United States. Although evacuation is a primary prevention method, people in the workplace still fail to evacuate when they hear a fire alarm. The current formative study applied the Reasoned Action Approach (RAA) to identify belief factors associated with university employees’ intention evacuate. Methods: Data were collected from employees at a large public university ( N = 490) through an online survey. Multiple linear regression quantified the relative contribution of six RAA constructs that represent belief factors underlying employees’ intention to leave the office building immediately the next time they hear a fire alarm. Findings: Nearly 60% of the variation in employees’ intention to leave was predicted from the belief factors, adjusted R2 = 0.598, F(17, 472) = 43.80, p < .001. Controlling for demographic characteristics, five of the six RAA global constructs showed statistically significant independent associations with intention: instrumental attitude ( B = .272, SE = .026, p < .001), experiential attitude ( B = −.073, SE = .026, p = .024), injunctive norm ( B = .210, SE = .075, p < .001), descriptive norm ( B = .347, SE = .070, p < .001), and capacity ( B = .178, SE = .077, p < .001). Conclusions/Applications to Practice: These findings show the RAA can be successfully applied to provide employees’ perspective on safety decisions like evacuation. The belief factors’ relative contributions can help safety professionals prioritize interventions to facilitate leaving immediately. Here the high weights for the two normative factors suggest addressing employees’ descriptive beliefs that others like them leave and their injunctive beliefs that significant others, like supervisors and safety personnel, approve of their leaving.

“…In addition to the direct impact of the three components of the TPB, Frounfelker et al [ 13 ] and Li et al [ 14 ] also found mediating roles of the three constructs in interpreting individuals’ preventive intentions or behaviors against COVID-19. In contrast to the above studies, Pan and Liu [ 15 ] and Ahmad et al [ 16 ] uncovered insignificant effects of perceived behavioral control on individuals’ intentions to accept COVID-19 epidemic prevention measures. Patwary et al’s [ 17 ] research showed no significant effects of attitude or subjective norms on people’s intention to be vaccinated against COVID-19.…”

Factors Contributing to Citizens’ Participation in COVID-19 Prevention and Control in China: An Integrated Model Based on Theory of Planned Behavior, Norm Activation Model, and Political Opportunity Structure Theory

Chinese citizens’ participation in COVID-19 prevention and control has made great contributions to the successful fight against the pandemic. The factors that have impacted citizens’ participation have rarely been reported based on both social–psychological and political environmental theories. This paper presented a study to explore the determinants of Chinese citizens’ participation in COVID-19 prevention and control based on a combined model of the theory of planned behavior, the norm activation model, and political opportunity structure theory. A dataset involving 463 respondents from Harbin in northeast China was acquired and analyzed. The results showed that the comprehensive model explained 62.9% of the total variance in citizens’ participation behavior. The openness to public participation not only significantly directly influenced citizens’ participation but also indirectly affected participation behaviors through attitude and perceived behavioral control, both of which were important mediators and had the greatest overall impacts. The awareness of consequences and subjective norms were crucial antecedents to the activation of other influencing factors. Personal norms indirectly affected participation behavior through the mediation of attitude. The empirical results showed the comprehensiveness, effectiveness, and high explanatory power of the postulated model. The study also provides both new theoretical perspectives for explaining public participation and useful practical implications for future policy development in promoting citizens’ participation in public health emergency management.
