This book was released on 2016 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexual violence is a problem on college campuses across the United States. In the past few years, federal and state legislation has been drafted in order to address campus sexual violence. A main feature of this legislation addresses an important communicative construct related to students' sexual behavior: sexual consent. Colleges and universities are adopting an affirmative-standard of consent, which emphasizes that consent for sexual activity be communicated verbally or via unambiguous actions, mutual, voluntary, enthusiastic, and ongoing throughout the sexual encounter. Literature has explored how college students communicate and interpret sexual consent, but antecedents to sexual consent behaviors, particularly affirmative consent, are largely unknown. The current investigation seeks to longitudinally explore the antecedents to college students' affirmative sexual consent behaviors (i.e., nonverbal, initiating, verbal). Using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as a theoretical framework, hypotheses predicted that at Time 1 (T1) attitudes, norms, and perceived behavioral control would positively and significantly predict students' (T1) intentions to communicate affirmative consent to their partner. Then, it was predicted that at Time 2 (T2), thirty days later, intentions to communicate consent from T1 would positively and significantly predict college students' communication of affirmative consent to their partner during their most recent sexual encounter. The final matched (i.e., completed T1 and T2 surveys) sample included two hundred twenty-five (N = 225) college students who had engaged in sexual activity during the 30 days between survey distributions. Results from the path analyses support the theoretically driven hypotheses for all three affirmative consent behaviors, and demonstrate that subjective norms and perceived control are important and strong determinants of students' communication of affirmative sexual consent. Furthermore, multi-group invariance tested the potential moderating effects of three individual, two dyadic, and two environmental/contextual variables on the strength of path coefficients between TPB constructs for all three sexual consent behaviors. Only individual and environmental/contextual variables significantly moderated relationships within the TPB for the three models. Results are discussed with regard to theoretical implications as well as practical implications for university health educators and other health professionals. Additionally, limitations and future directions are noted.

Book excerpt: Research suggests one in five women will experience sexual assault during their college careers. However, college's sexual assault prevention education (SAPE) programs vary widely in their length, content, and effectiveness. There is currently no validated scale to measure students' sexual consent intentions as taught in SAPE. This dissertation sought to create a valid and reliable scale to measure sexual consent, called Adherence to Sexual Consent - Behavioral Intentions (ASC-BI). Additionally, many SAPE programs are atheoretical; therefore, this work examines if theory of planned behavior (TPB) provides decent explanation of ASC-BI. Two samples were collected including a national sample of 500 undergraduate MTurk workers and a local sample 369 IU students. Participants completed the survey online via a Qualtrics survey. Results suggested a 5-factor solution for ASC-BI provided good fit; factors include seeking consent, giving consent, refusing unwanted sexual activity, accepting refusal, and sexual communication. Additionally, results suggested the TPB provides a good model for explaining ASC-BI. TPB cognitions, including attitudes, norms, and perceived behavioral control, fully mediated the relationship between SAPE messages and ASC-BI. Finally, positive attitudes towards consent were a better predictor of ASC-BI compared to rape myth acceptance. Results provide practioners and researchers with a valid tool for measuring sexual consent intentions. Additionally, results suggest practioners should include TPB cognitions as mediating variables when assessing effectiveness of SAPE and focus on positive attitude change instead of eliminating rape myths.

Book excerpt: The theory of planned behavior was used in this study to determine the intentions of undergraduates to use condoms during sexual activity. This theory states that behavior is a result of intention and intention is influenced by attitude toward the behavior, subjective norm, and perceived control of the behavior. Three hypotheses related to the theory were tested. The first hypothesis states that the theory of planned behavior can be used to predict intentions to use comdoms. Results provided partial support for this hypothesis: Perceived control was not significantly related to behavioral intentions. A second hypothesis was that the theory of planned behavior is a better predictor than an earlier version of the theory, the theory of reasoned action. Results showed that both theories could equally predict condom usage among undergraduates. A third hypothesis was that the underlying beliefs of males and females, as well as those who intend to use condoms and those don't intend to use condoms, would differ. Multivariate analyses showed that these differences were most significant regarding the outcome beliefs of the subjects. Two other hypotheses of interest are whether single undergraduates with more than one partner are more likely to use condoms than those with only one partner, and whether those who rate their chances of getting AIDS as high are more likely to use condoms than those who rate their chances as low. Results indicate no support for the above hypotheses.
Download or read book Using the Theory of Planned Behavior to Predict the Condom Use Intentions of College Athletes written by Erin Whitney Moore and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College athletes are considered to be a high sexual-risk group, as they use condoms less consistently (Wetherill & Fromme, 2007). The current study explored college athletes' intentions to use condoms within the framework of the Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 2002). The sample consisted of 55 sexually experienced college athletes who completed an anonymous online questionnaire. College athletes' attitudes toward condoms' effectiveness in preventing HIV/STI infection, perceptions of support for condom use from important others, and perceived control over the decision to use condoms significantly predicted condom use intentions and explained 34% of the variance intentions. When receipt of pregnancy prevention information form their university was taken into consideration, the model explained 46% of the variance in athletes' condom use intentions. Overall, college athletes in this study had strong intentions to use condoms every time they had sex.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines college students' participation in risky sexual behaviors, a common aspect of contemporary college life referred to as "hookups". The study utilizes the Theory of Planned Behavior in constructing a predictive model that incorporated both individuals' stable characteristics and interpersonal skills. Specifically, this study examines gender, romantic attachment models of security and insecurity, and degree of self-efficacy regarding safe sex communication as predictors of college students' reported number of casual sexual partners, number of casual sexual encounters, and frequency of safe sex communication with casual sexual partners. Three research questions were asked to examine each of the indicators of sexual behavior. The research hypothesized that for each behavior the total model would be most predictive. The results supported only hypothesis 3; that is, the model significantly predicted variation in college students' reported frequency of safe sex communication with casual sexual partners. Furthermore, safe sex communication comfort was found to uniquely predict variance, controlling for romantic attachment and gender. Results from this study may help inform college-level sexual risk-reduction programming in terms of content of programs and ways to successfully engage students in proactive skill development that will lead to less involvement in risky sexual practices.

Book excerpt: Often, sexual consent is only discussed and explored in the context of sexual assault. While consent is often the deciding factor to determine if a crime occurred, consent is also a vital part of an equally enjoyable sexual encounter. The present study examines a variety of variables effects on consent attitudes, norms, and communication behaviors to attempt to identify predictors of college student consent communication. Findings and recommendations are discussed that highlight the necessity of viewing consent as a communicative act.
Download or read book Using the Theory of Planned Behavior to Assess College Students Engagement with Bedsider OMRs written by Alana Erickson and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Online media use has grown exponentially in the twenty-first century. With the potential for social networking, subject promotion, and data acquisition in one arena, online media draws people from all demographics. As technology develops, the resources needed to use online media are becoming less expensive and ubiquitous. Health educators have the opportunity to join this techno-social revolution by promoting health through online media resources (OMRs), particularly social media (e.g., Facebook, Twitter). The purpose of this exploratory study was to assess college students' use of OMRs for sexual health information through constructs of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TpB). Positive correlations were found between the constructs of TpB and the behavioral intentions to use and share Bedsider OMRs. These findings support the effectiveness of Bedsider OMRs for use among college students. Health educators should investigate the potential effectiveness of Bedsider OMRs for other target populations and should explore the use of OMRs for other content areas (e.g., high school students and risky driving behaviors). Moreover, future studies should focus on refining the process of using TpB to more aptly examine reasons for social media popularity and engagement behaviors.

This book was released on 2014-05-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sexual violence is more than just a crime against individuals. It threatens our families, it threatens our communities; ultimately, it threatens the entire country. It tears apart the fabric of our communities. And that's why we're here today -- because we have the power to do something about it as a government, as a nation. We have the capacity to stop sexual assault, support those who have survived it, and bring perpetrators to justice."President Barack Obama, January 22, 2014"Freedom from sexual assault is a basic human right... a nation's decency is in large part measured by how it responds to violence against women... our daughters, our sisters, our wives, our mothers, our grandmothers have every single right to expect to be free from violence and sexual abuse."Vice President Joe Biden, January 22, 2014

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is not thought as such that can move anything, but thought which is for the sake of something and is practical." This discerning insight, which dates back more than 2000years to Aristotle, seems to have been ignored by most psycholo gists. For more than 40years theories of human action have assumed that cogni tion and action are merely two sides of the same coin. Approaches as different as S-O-R behaviorism,social learning theory, consistency theories,and expectancy value theories of motivation and decision making have one thing in common: they all assume that "thought (or any other type of cognition) can move any thing," that there is a direct path from cognition to behavior. In recent years, we have become more and more aware of the complexities in volved in the relationship between cognition and behavior. People do not always do what they intend to do. Aside from several nonpsychological factors capable of reducing cognition-behavior consistency, there seems to be a set of complex psychological mechanisms which intervene between action-related cognitions, such as beliefs, expectancies, values, and intentions,and the enactment of the be havior suggested by those cognitions. In our recent research we have focused on volitional mechanismus which presumably enhance cognition-behavior consistency by supporting the main tenance of activated intentions and prevent them from being pushed aside by competing action tendencies.
