目标.本论文报告了两项研究，旨在测试计划行为理论（TPB）的能力，以调解年龄，性别和多维健康控制点（MHLC）的行为意图和行为的影响。报告了两项研究。研究1（N = 124）采用横断面设计，并检查了三个自我报告的健康相关行为：安全性行为（使用避孕套），酗酒和酒后驾车。研究2（N = 20 1）采用前瞻性设计，并检查了实际出席的健康筛查。受访者完成了调查问卷，其中包含MHLC和TPB的措施。数据采用双变量相关和分层多元回归相结合进行分析。研究1表明，TPB是一个上级预测健康相关的行为意图比人口统计学变量和MHLC。研究2证实了研究1的结果，并表明，TPB变量的实际行为是有用的预测，虽然TPB未能完全调解性别对筛查出勤率的影响。虽然城规会对健康相关行为意向和行为的变异占很大比例，但它未能完全调解人口变量的影响。未来的工作是需要确定社会认知变量，将充分调解人口的影响。
Objectives. The present paper reports two studies designed to test the ability of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) to mediate the effects of age, gender and multidimensional health locus of control (MHLC) on behavioural intentions and behaviour.Design. Two studies are reported. Study 1 (N = 124) employed a cross-sectional design and examined three self-reported health-related behaviours: safe sex (condom use), binge drinking and drink-driving. Study 2 (N = 20 1) employed a prospective design and examined actual attendance at health screening.Methods. Respondents completed questionnaires containing measures of MHLC and TPB. The data were analysed using a combination of bivariate correlations and hierarchical multiple regression.Results. Study 1 showed that the TPB was a superior predictor of health-related behavioural intentions than both demographic variables and MHLC. Study 2 corroborated the findings of Study 1, and showed that TPB variables were useful predictors of actual behaviour, although the TPB failed to fully mediate the effects of gender on screening attendance.Conclusions. Whilst the TPB accounted for significant proportions of the variance in health-related behavioural intentions and behaviour, it failed to completely mediate the effects of demographic variables. Future work is required to identify social cognitive variables that will fully mediate the effects of demographics.
