这项多国研究调查了在主要SARS影响地区（中国广东、香港、新加坡和加拿大多伦多）的SARS预防行为的预期和实际采用情况。本文以理性行为理论和计划行为理论为理论框架。问卷内容包括态度、主观规范、知觉行为控制、SARS知识和SARS预防行为。每个地区招募了75名成年工人。他们在最初的研究中完成了新的测量，并在两周后报告了他们的实际行为。结果提供了跨文化的普遍性TRA的态度和主题规范预测SARS预防行为的所有群体。PBC是一个统计学上显着的预测所有参与者，除了那些来自广东省，表明城市规划是只适用于香港，新加坡，和多伦多的人。SARS知识也被发现是一个独立的预测因子。
This multinational study examined intended and actual adoption of SARS-preventive behaviors in major SARS-affected regions: Guangdong (China), Hong Kong, Singapore, and Toronto (Canada). The theory of reasoned action (TRA) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB) were adopted as theoretical frameworks. A measure was constructed to assess attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control (PBC), knowledge of SARS, and SARS-preventive behaviors. Seventy-five working adults were recruited front each region. They completed the new measure in an initial study, and reported their actual behaviors 2 weeks later. Results provided cross-cultural generalizability of the TRA by showing that attitude and subject norm predicted SARS-preventive behaviors for all the groups. PBC was a statistically significant predictor for all participants except those from Guangdong, indicating that the TPB is applicable only to people from Hong Kong, Singapore, and Toronto. Knowledge of SARS also was found to be an independent predictor.
