“…The desire to have more knowledge about potential health risks was identified as an important motivation to seek out testing for both people that had received DTC testing [33,[40][41][42] and in other surveys where participants had not necessarily actively sought out genetic testing, but rather had received a test through participating in research cohorts or studies [43][44][45][46][47]. Obtaining information to inform adoption of behaviours or treatments to improve health, prevent disease onset or manage risk were also important motivating factors for DTC customers [33,[40][41][42] and in other survey studies [43,[45][46][47][48] and qualitative studies [49][50][51][52][53]. Several studies looked at interest in genetic testing for specific conditions and found that cancer (e.g.…”

“…This review did not assess willingness to pay for genetic tests, although some studies provided insight into the extent to which cost has an impact on people's motivation to seek genetic testing. Evidence suggests that as cost decreases, more people will be interested in predictive genetic testing [33,41,47,49,59,60]. Several included studies also found that convenience of the testing (e.g.…”

“…Most of the studies (44.4%) were conducted in the community setting (Arevalo & Brown, 2019;Armitage, Alganem & Norman, 2017;Tucker et al, 2019;Choo & Kang, 2015;Ekúndayò et al, 2020;Griffin et al, 2018;Hales et al, 2016;Kite et al, 2018;Powers et al, 2019;Schifferdecker et al, 2016;Spurrier et al, 2018;Vandelanotte et al, 2018). In comparison, five (18.5%) were conducted in the workplace (Abdi et al, 2015a;Abdi et al, 2015b;Ott et al, 2015;Sanaeinasab et al, 2020;Silberman et al, 2020) and institutional settings, respectively (Dong & Branscum, 2019;Johnson & Annesi, 2017;Romain, Horwath & Bernard, 2018;Saghafi-Asl, Aliasgharzadeh & Asghari-Jafarabadi, 2020;Wright et al, 2020); three (11.1%) in a health care setting (de Menezes et al, 2015;Nazari et al, 2019;Winik & Bonham, 2018); and one each in a church (Lin et al, 2015) and a sports centre (Cingil & Göger, 2020).…”

Introduction: The increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity has been alarming. One approach to address this issue is to implement health promotion programmes. Despite the many health promotion and health intervention programmes held, there is a lack of evidence showing the application of theories and models. This scoping review aimed to explore existing literature and synthesise findings based on models and theories used to support health promotion programmes for overweight and obese adults. Methods: This review was guided by the Arksey and O’Malley framework. Online databases, such as Ovid, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, were used to search for relevant articles using suitable keywords, from January 2015 until December 2021. Articles were written in English and Malay, and the study subjects were adults aged 18-59 years old. Two reviewers independently screened the articles, and the extracted information were tabulated after analysis. Results: A total of 13 different theories and models were found in the 27 articles selected. Many studies reported using the Transtheoretical Model, Social Cognitive Theory, and Health Belief Model in health promotion programmes for overweight and obese adults. Most constructs and components focused on changing health-related behaviours starting with the individual, such as self-efficacy and readiness to change. Majority of the articles showed an improvement in health-related behaviours and had great potential for future studies. Conclusion: When conducting health promotion programmes for overweight and obese adults, researchers should consider models and theories with constructs and components to ensure consistent improvement and potentially significant impacts on health-related outcomes.

“…On the other hand, experiential attitudes were commonly found in attitudes-related studies (Wan et al, 2017) and were used to measure health-related attitudes (e.g., Dong & Branscum, 2019;Head & Iannarino, 2017). This could be measured by asking participants adjectives such as unpleasant to pleasant (Fishbein & Ajzen, 2010).…”

Attitudes explain a wide range of behaviours including bribery. As the education environment plays a crucial role in communicating messages about what behaviour is acceptable, the ways we structure our school system could potentially influence how attitudes are shaped. In Malaysia, students attended different types of primary and secondary school (e.g. national and vernacular). Thus, this study aimed to explore the instrumental and experiential attitudes towards bribery of students attended four different types of primary and secondary schools. There were 198 Malaysian youths with an age range of 18 to 29 (M = 20.43) participated in this study. Instrumental and experiential attitudes towards bribery scales were used to measure both variables. Kruskal-Wallis test was used and the results indicated that there were no significant differences found between instrumental attitudes or experiential attitudes towards bribery among youths from four different types of schools selected in this study. However, some respondents claim that offering a small amount of money is more acceptable than offering a large amount of money. The implied that the acceptability of a dishonest act depends on its seriousness.
