“…A study conducted in Addis Ababa using the theory of planned behavior has showed that its variables were less sufficient in predicting voluntary HIV counseling and testing (Mirkuzie et al, 2011). Another compared the theory of reasoned action, theory of planned behavior, and an extended theory of planned behavior model which demonstrated that the augmented model had slightly better fit indexes and predictive value (Gomes & Nunes, 2017). Therefore, researchers have found it necessary to either combine a number of variables of these aforementioned theories or integrate other important aspects they have not as yet considered, as was the case with the integrated model of behavior prediction (Diteweg et al, 2013).…”

Background: This study addresses the HIV/AIDS epidemic that constitutes a major health issue in South Africa, the country most burdened by the virus in the world. Focus of the Article: It is an empirical study that investigates predictive behavioral patterns between traditional components of the theory of planned behavior and the previously identified social marketing behavioral enhancers and intentions to perform preventative sexual behaviors promoted under the Abstinence, Being faithful, and Condomize campaign. Research Question: The main question this study attempts to answer is: Is it relevant to increase the theory of planned behavior components by incorporating the social marketing behavioral enhancers’ variables to design programs that successfully influence individuals to adhere to the preventative sexual behaviors? Importance to the Social Marketing Field: Results will tell social marketers, through design programs fighting the spread of the HIV set within a theory of planned behavior theoretical framework, which of the social marketing behavioral enhancers are worth integrating into their model to induce behavioral change. Methods: Theory of planned behavior models extended to social marketing behavioral enhancers for abstinence, faithfulness, and condom use were used as theoretical frameworks to test how well they are good fits of the empirically manifested structural models. Gauteng was chosen, because three of the five metropolitan municipalities with a HIV prevalence greater than 10% are located in this province. Data were collected by means of questionnaires administered to a sample chosen randomly, using a multi-stage stratification method. A quota was determined for each suburb or city considered according to the size of its population compared to the overall Gauteng population to ensure representativeness of the study’s sample. Results: The study’s theoretical frameworks fitted the data well, but results also revealed insignificant causal relationships between HIV/AIDS knowledge and all Abstinence–Being faithful–Condomize intentions. Similarly, no predictive relationships were found between accessibility to HIV/AIDS information and intention to use condoms, while attitudes toward abstinence and condom use were insignificant with their respective intentions. However, their positive correlations with predictive variables suggest that they influence intentions indirectly. Recommendation for Research: Researchers are invited to conduct further studies to test the model in a different context. Indeed, this study does not investigate whether relationships between HIV/AIDS knowledge, accessibility to HIV/AIDS information, and attitudes toward abstinence and condom use would remain insignificant or that it could not change over time in a research ground other than Gauteng. Opportunities should be explored to augment the traditional theory of planned behavior components by variables other than the social marketing behavioral enhancers, in order to build a more robust model that will incorporate more significant factors to design successful programs. Limitations: Collecting data from only one province constitutes a limitation in terms of drawing conclusions for the whole South African population.

“…The TPB has been utilized previously throughout public health and psychology research in predicting condom use intention and behavior (Carmack & Lewis, 2009;Gibson et al, 2020;Gomes & Nunes, 2017;Montanaro et al, 2018;Morales et al, 2021;Robison-Chadwell, 2017;Turchik & Gidycz, 2012). Gomes and Nunes (2017), found the TPB to be a useful model in predicting condom use intentions among adolescents; and specifically, that attitudes and subjective norms were significantly predictive of condom use. Much of the previous research on the TPB and sexual risk behavior has been conducted on adolescent populations and other special populations (e.g.…”

Online dating provides emerging adults with a way of connecting with others more frequently and efficiently than traditional courtship. Online dating sites pose opportunities for relationships and sexual encounters, which may be accompanied by engagement in sexual risk behaviors, such as lack of condom use. The present study used the theory of planned behavior to explore psychosocial cognitions (i.e. constructs) about condom use among online daters. The sample size consisted of N = 156 emerging adults (M age = 20.6) who participated in an online survey of health behaviors and sexual risk. Using attitudes, subjective norms, and self-efficacy about condom use, latent class analysis identified four latent classes: Consistent Condom Users (17%), Inconsistent Condom Users with Low Dating Site Usage (23%), Inconsistent Condom Users with High Dating Site Usage (40%), and Consistent Condom Non-Users (20%). Consistent Condom Non-Users had the highest probability of utilizing dating sites 2+ hours per day, the highest probability of low self-efficacy and low subjective norms about condom use, and a zero probability of using a condom. Inconsistent Condom Users with Low Dating Site Usage and Inconsistent Condom Users with High Dating Site Usage varied in their attitudes and self-efficacy toward condom use. Consistent Condom Users were low on dating site usage, high on all psychosocial constructs, and had a 100% probability of using a condom. Results highlight the need to further explore interventions throughout college campuses and online within dating sites, to strengthen attitudes, subjective norms, and self-efficacy toward condom use among online dating emerging adults.

“…Despite a large amount of research framed by different theoretical models (Espada, et al, 2016;Gomes & Nunes, 2018;Morales, et al, 2018;Plaza-Vidal et al, 2020) and informed by several interventions (Morales, et al, 2019(Morales, et al, , 2020, research has shown that consistent condom use is far from desirable. For example, a cross-national study with Latin American women showed that 4%-20% of the participants never used a condom when having sex (Mejia et al, 2020).…”

Sociosexuality has been widely studied throughout the world, but there are no psychometric analyses of an instrument to obtain objective measures of this construct in Spanish-speaking America. The Sociosexual Orientation Inventory-Revised (SOI-R) is proposed as a valid and reliable instrument to assess sociosexuality in this region. Exploratory Factorial Analysis (EFA) followed by Confirmatory Factorial Analysis (CFA) was performed to determine the psychometric properties of the SOI-R. Associations between sociosexuality with AIDS phobia and condom use established as measures of external validity. The results show that in a sample of Colombian participants, the three-dimensional structure of the SOI-R is valid and presents high- reliability indices. Likewise, it established that sociosexual behavior, but not attitude and desire, is associated with the frequency of condom use and that sociosexuality has significant associations with AIDS phobia. Finally, we discussed the implications of these findings for Spanish-speaking America.
