Abstract
Ajzen and Fishbein’s Theory of Reasoned Action was used to predict adolescents’ behavioral intention regarding safe farm tractor operation. A valid and reliable instrument was developed and was given to 235 Future Farmers of America (FFA) students from 10 schools in Illinois. The single best predictor of adolescents’ behavioral intention was the subjective norm (i.e., the respondents’ perceived behavioral prescriptions of friends and family members). Multiple regression determined that adding behavioral norm to Ajzen and Fishbein’s model significantly improved prediction of adolescents’ behavioral intention regarding safe farm tractor operation. The examples set by others play an important role in determining the behavioral intent of respondents regarding farm tractor safety.
