Predicting Condom Use
A Comparison of the Theory of Reasoned Action, the Theory of Planned Behavior and an Extended Model of TPB
Keywords:
HIV/AIDS, Theory of Reasoned Action, Theory of Planned Action, Condom use extended modelAbstract
It was our goal to give a contribution to the prediction of condom use using socio-cognitive models, comparing classic theories to an extended model. A cross-sectional study was conducted using a questionnaire of self-reported measures. From the students who agreed to participate in the study, 140 were eligible for the full study. A confi rmatory analysis was used to assess the predictive value of the researched model. The model tested had slightly better fi t indexes and predictive value than classic Theories of Reasoned Action and Planned
Behaviour. Although the results found, discussion continues to understand the gap between intention and behaviour, as further investigation is necessary to fully understand the reasons for condom use inconsistency.
