本研究的目的是确定从行为预测的综合模型在预测与流感预防在大学校园相关的行为结构的效用。在以往研究的基础上，记录了大学生中存在的大量乐观偏见，本研究探讨了乐观偏见在行为预测综合模型中的可能作用。作者在2009年秋季经历了大规模H1N1流感爆发的一所大学的本科生中进行了一项分层随机样本（N=429）的在线调查。作者提供了3个主要发现：（a）行为预测综合模型中的3个主要成分预测了洗手和消毒的意图，其中自我效能是最强的预测因素;（B）与现实主义者或不现实的悲观主义者相比，不现实的乐观主义者显着降低了手部卫生习惯的意图;在控制感知风险的前提下，相对乐观对自我效能与行为意向的关系具有显著的调节作用。这些研究结果的理论和实践意义进行了讨论。
This study aims to determine the utility of constructs from the Integrative Model of Behavioral Prediction in predicting behaviors associated with flu prevention in a college campus. Building on previous studies that document substantial optimistic bias among college students, this study explores possible roles for optimistic bias in the Integrative Model of Behavioral Prediction. The authors conducted an online survey among a stratified random sample (N=429) of undergraduate students in a university that experienced a large H1N1 influenza outbreak in the fall of 2009. The authors offer 3 major findings: (a) the 3 primary components in the Integrative Model of Behavioral Prediction predicted the intention to perform hand washing and sanitizing, with self-efficacy being the strongest predictor; (b) unrealistic optimists had significantly lower intentions to perform hand hygiene practices compared with realists or unrealistic pessimists; and (c) comparative optimism was a significant moderator of the relation between self-efficacy and behavioral intention, controlling for perceived risk. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
