  • influence of producers attitudes Perceived norms and Perceived Behavioral Control for practicing prudent use of antimicrobials on new york dairy farms
    American Association of Bovine Practitioners Proceedings of the Annual Conference, 2019
    Co-Authors: A K Vasquez, Carla Foditsch, Stephie Anne C Duliepre, Julie D Siler, David R Just, Lorin D Warnick, D V Nydam, J Sok
    Abstract:

    Targeted communication concerning the judicious use of antimicrobials is vital to address public health concerns such as residues and resistance. Understanding dairy farmers’ behavior, motivations, and barriers toward antimicrobial use can influence how veterinarians translate research into practice and guide effective ways of implementing protocols. A multidisciplinary team investigated Behavioral tendencies toward antimicrobial use by administering a survey modeled with the Reasoned Action Approach (RAA). The RAA is a framework from social psychology containing the constructs attitude (A), Perceived norms (PN), and Perceived Behavioral Control (perception of the ease or difficulty of a behavior; PBC), and is used in combination with structural equation modeling (SEM) to determine what drives intentions (I). The objective of the survey was to provide direct and indirect measures of these constructs to determine importance of and associations with intention to use antimicrobials prudently.

    Abstract:

    Understanding farmers' behavior, motivations, and perceptions toward antimicrobial use can influence how veterinarians translate research into practice and guide effective ways of implementing protocols. A multidisciplinary team investigated Behavioral tendencies of New York dairy farmers toward antimicrobial use by administering a survey modeled with the reasoned action approach. This approach is a framework from social psychology containing the constructs attitude, Perceived norms, and Perceived Behavioral Control, and is used in combination with structural equation modeling to determine what drives intentions. Multiple indicators and multiple causes (MIMIC) models were then used to determine the effects of beliefs on their underlying constructs. The objective of the study was to provide direct and indirect measures of the constructs using survey data to determine importance of and associations with intention to use antimicrobials prudently. The structural equation model indicated that Perceived Behavioral Control explained intention. Thus, farmers who feel capable of prudent use expressed positive intentions. Attitude and perception of others also had influence to a lesser extent. MIMIC models showed that the most important attributes of instrumental attitude were increasing profitability, decreasing risk of residues, and increasing herd health. Contributing attributes of affective attitude were job satisfaction, decreasing resistance, and increasing milk production. For Perceived norms, the attributes were opinions/approval of family and peers, veterinarians, and milk processors. Finally, for Perceived Behavioral Control, attributes focused on saving money on labor and treatment, ability to fit into the daily routine, and effectiveness with veterinary guidance. In conclusion, the best approach for adoption of practices might be presentation of examples of successful strategies by other producers, particularly in peer groups. In addition, veterinarians should provide the tools and guidance needed to produce economic gain, reduction of risks associated with residues and resistance, and positive experiences when using the tactics.

  • how people evaluate anti corona measures for their social spheres attitude subjective norm and Perceived Behavioral Control
    Frontiers in Psychology, 2020
    Co-Authors: Hendrik Godbersen, Laura Anna Hofmann, Susana Ruizfernandez
    Abstract:

    Restrictions on outdoor activities, tips for hygiene, and tips for mental health are among the most common initiatives to counter the COVID-19 pandemic. These measures aim to protect people's health and, at the same time, impact their social lives. So far, it is little known how people evaluate those anti-Corona measures with regard to their social spheres (close family, wider family and friends, colleagues, and society). Furthermore, it is plausible that the subjective evaluation of attitudinal objects and especially severe events, like the COVID-19 pandemic and the related counter-measures, is multidimensional. Against this background, we combine the social spheres with the elements of the Theory of Planned Behavior. On the methodological basis of the Means-End Theory of Complex Cognitive Structures, we determine the Perceived relevance and quality of the attitude, subjective norm, Perceived Behavioral Control, and social spheres regarding anti-Corona measures. Furthermore, the applied methodology allows the deduction of norm strategies to define the priority of securing or increasing the effectiveness of elements of anti-Corona measures. Based on the answers of 663 participants, we found that the protection from COVID-19 and its consequences (attitude) are more important to people than the practicability of anti-Corona measures in their social lives (Perceived Behavioral Control), which, again, has a higher subjective relevance than the willingness to fulfill the expectations of others (subjective norm). Additionally, people distinguish between their close family (higher subjective relevance) and their other social spheres (lower subjective relevance). The people attribute the highest quality to the tips on hygiene, followed by the restrictions on outdoor activities and the tips for mental health. The protection and practicability of the anti-Corona measures have higher quality ratings than the willingness to fulfill the expectations of others. Based on the norm strategies, policymakers should secure the effectiveness of the current anti-Corona measures with a high priority by focusing on the protection and practicability with regard to close and wider family and friends. Increasing the effectiveness of the protection and practicability of anti-Corona measures in work and society also has a high priority. Focusing on the subjective norm should be of lower priority.

  • participation in regular leisure time physical activity among individuals with type 2 diabetes not meeting canadian guidelines the influence of intention Perceived Behavioral Control and moral norm
    International Journal of Behavioral Medicine, 2014
    Co-Authors: Francois Boudreau, Gaston Godin
    Abstract:

    Most people with type 2 diabetes do not engage in regular leisure-time physical activity. The theory of planned behavior and moral norm construct can enhance our understanding of physical activity intention and behavior among this population. This study aims to identify the determinants of both intention and behavior to participate in regular leisure-time physical activity among individuals with type 2 diabetes who not meet Canada's physical activity guidelines. By using secondary data analysis of a randomized computer-tailored print-based intervention, participants (n = 200) from the province of Quebec (Canada) completed and returned a baseline questionnaire measuring their attitude, Perceived Behavioral Control, and moral norm. One month later, they self-reported their level of leisure-time physical activity. A hierarchical regression equation showed that attitude (beta = 0.10, P < 0.05), Perceived Behavioral Control (beta = 0.37, P < 0.001), and moral norm (beta = 0.45, P < 0.001) were significant determinants of intention, with the final model explaining 63 % of the variance. In terms of Behavioral prediction, intention (beta = 0.34, P < 0.001) and Perceived Behavioral Control (beta = 0.16, P < 0.05) added 17 % to the variance, after Controlling the effects of the experimental condition (R 2 = 0.04, P < 0.05) and past participation in leisure-time physical activity (R 2 = 0.22, P < 0.001). The final model explained 43 % of the Behavioral variance. Finally, the bootstrapping procedure indicated that the influence of moral norm on behavior was mediated by intention and Perceived Behavioral Control. The determinants investigated offered an excellent starting point for designing appropriate counseling messages to promote leisure-time physical activity among individuals with type 2 diabetes.

  • the pattern of influence of Perceived Behavioral Control upon exercising behavior an application of ajzen s theory of planned behavior
    Journal of Behavioral Medicine, 1993
    Co-Authors: Gaston Godin, Pierre Valois, Linda Lepage
    Abstract:

    The aim of the present studies was to verify the basic assumptions underlying the theory of planned behavior for the prediction of exercising intentions and behavior among adults of the general population (study 1) and a group of pregnant women (study 2). In both studies, baseline data were collected at home with trained interviewers and with the use of paper-and-pencil questionnaires. The self-report on behavior was obtained 6 months (study 1) and between 8 and 9 months (study 2) after baseline data collection. In study 1, Perceived Behavioral Control influenced behavior only through intention. In study 2, none of the Ajzen model variables was associated to exercising behavior. Nonetheless, intention was influenced by attitude, habit, and Perceived Behavioral Control. The results of the present studies suggest that Perceived Behavioral Control contributes to the understanding of intentions to exercise but not to the prediction of exercising behavior.
