“…Another construct was "defensive avoidance" which, similar to the fourth factor, is a maladaptive reaction of people to control fear, not danger. However, this construct is different in that people who perceive fear but believe in their inefficient behaviors avoid warning messages in any way possible [19,37,48]. In the present research, the developed tools assessed the reaction of students to avoiding the reception of messages associated with the risk of wastes and their separation.…”

“…According to previous studies and based on EPPM, people have to perceive the severe risk of accumulation and lack of waste separation [39]. Measuring the perception of risk severity and level of vulnerability can help anticipate and justify preventive behaviors [37]. In addition, the assessment of information and risk associated with environmental behaviors has been proposed as an environmental health literacy construct [40].…”

“…According to Witte, ineffective fear can prevent behavior change and the promotion of healthy behaviors. Therefore, evaluation of fear and its determinants based on EPPM can contribute to the promotion of effective behaviors [18,37,47].…”

“…This part of the questionnaire was obtained from integrating the items related to measuring two reactions proposed by Witte, including "message minimization" and "feeling manipulated," which showed a type of maladaptive reaction to risk messages or the communicator. To control their fear, individuals tend to make the risk messages seem worthless and exaggerated [19,37,48]. Cismaru asserted that people react against warning messages when they perceive a high level of threat but believe in their lack of ability to reduce the associated risks [47].…”

“…In the present tool, one of the extracted constructs was "intention," comprised of four items. Evaluation of intention can show the success or failure of using EPPM [18,19,37,43,48] and indicate the threat control reaction in individuals. Moreover, it can properly anticipate the actual behaviors of people [52,53].…”

Background: The increasing production of un-recycled waste is a great threat to public health. Therefore, assessment and measurement of people's beliefs and perceptions with regard to these threats can contribute to the development of suitable educational messages promoting waste separation behaviors. This study aimed to carry out the scale development and psychometric evaluation of behaviors and beliefs associated with waste separation among female students. Method: This methodological research was performed in 2019. The primary questionnaire was developed based on the assessment of waste separation beliefs and behaviors based on the extended parallel process model. Afterwards, to confirm the content and face validity of the research tool, the opinions of 14 faculty members and certain students were asked for, respectively. In order to assess the construct validity of the questionnaire, exploratory factor analysis was performed based on the data collected from 386 female students in Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Iran. The internal and external reliability of the tool was determined through estimating Cronbach's alpha and test-retest based on intraclass correlation (ICC) index, respectively. Results: The mean age and academic semester of the students were 22 ± 1.9 years and 5.58 ± 2.6, respectively. The primary version of the questionnaire was designed with 65 items; one item was omitted during the content validity process. Construct validity with factor analysis technique yielded nine dimensions including 64 items with a factor loading above 0.3. The overall reliability of the research tool was confirmed at Cronbach's alpha of 0.87. Furthermore, the ICC of the entire questionnaire was 0.89. Conclusion: According to the results of the study, the final 64-item questionnaire could be used by various researchers to assess waste separation beliefs and behaviors considering suitable psychometric features.
