COVID-19 Vaccination Among Adolescents and Young Adults: Test of the Triandis Model of Interpersonal Behavior and the Health Belief Model.

This study purpose was to test the Health Belief Model (HBM) and the Triandis Model of Interpersonal Behavior (TMIB) in predicting COVID-19 vaccine uptake among adolescents and young adults (AYAs). Data from an anonymous online survey were collected. Clusters of risk perceptions of infection were identified using Latent Class Analysis, and predictive values of TMIB and HBM factors were evaluated using logistic regression models. Response rate was 30% (468 participants). There was a combined significant effect of TMIB model components (habitual health behavior, intention, and facilitation conditions) on having received ≥1 dose of COVID-19 vaccine. Having received influenza vaccine in the past 12 months was associated with higher odds of COVID-19 vaccine uptake. Perceived vaccination benefits, and perceived risks of infection were associated with vaccine receipt; however, the HBM model performed inadequately. The HBM is commonly used in vaccine acceptance research; however, the TMIB may be more effective among AYAs.

Delving into the intricate web of factors that shape the digital lending behavior of individuals : A profound understanding of the Indian landscape

The sheer number of Indian young adults using digital lending platforms to satisfy their expanding consumption needs has increased significantly. It undoubtedly expands consumer markets, but it has also given rise to several significant social issues. The legal supervision of digital lending and the authentication process have been thoroughly studied in the past, with a focus on the legal and economic aspects. A few scholars have also looked at the variables from the standpoint of behavioral psychology that affect people’s digital lending. This study develops a theoretical framework that explains how people construct their online consumer credit by utilizing the Triandis model and prior research on online lending. Afterwards, SmartPLS 3.00 is used to analyze the dataset, which includes 302 respondents in total. This study found that people’s perceived consequences, emotions, social variables, and enabling environments all had a significant impact on their online consumer credit. The study’s conclusions have important ramifications for both political and practical settings. They may be extremely important in promoting appropriate spending practices among India’s youth and ensuring the long-term expansion of online consumer credit. This study also helps digital lending companies improve their offerings and build better relationships with the general population.

Exploring factors influencing the uptake of kangaroo mother care: key informant interviews with parents

BackgroundThe updated World Health Organization (WHO) guideline recommends immediate kangaroo mother care (KMC) for all infants, particularly those born preterm. However, its uptake and sustainability have been unsatisfactory. Therefore, we aimed to gain deeper insight into factors influencing the uptake of KMC practice in our setting, and thereby identify possible solutions for the development of relevant interventions to improve its adoption and make KMC a routine practice for all infants.MethodsUsing the Triandis model of social behaviour as our framework, we conducted key informant interviews with parents and healthcare providers. Trained interviewers conducted interviews with nine parents, recruited via purposive sampling. These parents were parents of preterm infants who had been introduced to KMC. Data was transcribed and analysed based on Triandis’ Theory of Interpersonal Behaviour. This paper only reports the results of the parent interviews.ResultsMajor findings were how positive feelings like warmth and contentment, the sense of parenthood with KMC, the benefits of KMC for their infant and parents being enablers for KMC uptake. Conversely, the lack of KMC awareness, the initial negative feelings such as fear, uncertainty and embarrassment, the prioritization of time for milk expression, overcrowding in the ward, lack of space and privacy, limited visiting hours, lack of support and poor communication resulting in misapprehension about KMC were major barriers.ConclusionA deeper understanding of the factors influencing the uptake of KMC using the Triandis behavioural model provided a way forward to help improve its uptake and sustainability in our settings.Trial registrationThis study was registered with the National Medical Research Registry (NMRR-17-2984-39191).

An Augmented Reality Technology to Provide Demonstrative Inhaler Technique Education for Patients With Asthma: Interview Study Among Patients, Health Professionals, and Key Community Stakeholders.

Many people with asthma use incorrect inhaler technique, resulting in suboptimal disease management and increased health service use. Novel ways of delivering appropriate instructions are needed. This study explored stakeholder perspectives on the potential use of augmented reality (AR) technology to improve asthma inhaler technique education. On the basis of existing evidence and resources, an information poster displaying the images of 22 asthma inhaler devices was developed. Using AR technology via a free smartphone app, the poster launched video demonstrations of correct inhaler technique for each device. In total, 21 semistructured, one-on-one interviews with health professionals, people with asthma, and key community stakeholders were conducted, and data were analyzed thematically using the Triandis model of interpersonal behavior. A total of 21 participants were recruited into the study, and data saturation was achieved. People with asthma were confident with inhaler technique (mean score 9.17, SD 1.33, out of 10). However, health professionals and key community stakeholders identified that this perception was misguided (mean 7.25, SD 1.39, and mean 4.5, SD 0.71, for health professionals and key community stakeholders, respectively) and facilitates persistent incorrect inhaler use and suboptimal disease management. Delivering inhaler technique education using AR was favored by all participants (21/21, 100%), particularly around ease of use, with the ability to visually display inhaler techniques for each device. There was a strongly held belief that the technology has the capacity for improving inhaler technique across all participant groups (mean 9.25, SD 0.89, for participants; mean 9.83, SD 0.41, for health professionals; and mean 9.5, SD 0.71, for key community stakeholders). However, all participants (21/21, 100%) identified some barriers, particularly regarding access and appropriateness of AR for older people. AR technology may be a novel means to address poor inhaler technique among certain cohorts of patients with asthma and serve as a prompt for health professionals to initiate review of inhaler devices. A randomized controlled trial design is needed to evaluate the efficacy of this technology for use in the clinical care setting.

Analysis of Factors Affecting Individuals' Online Consumer Credit Behavior: Evidence From China.

In the past two decades, a growing number of Chinese young adults utilize online consumer credit to satisfy their increasing consumption demand. Although it is indeed boosting consumer markets, it has also caused many serious social problems. A number of previous studies discussed the authentication mechanism and legal supervision of online lending from a legal or economic perspective, and a small number of scholars explored factors affecting individuals’ online consumer credit from the perspective of behavioral psychology. Based on the Triandis model and existing studies on online lending, this paper constructs a theoretical model for the formation of individuals’ online consumer credit. It then adopts SmartPLS 3.00 to analyze the data set that involves 302 respondents in total. This research found that affect, facilitating conditions, perceived consequences and social factors have a significant impact on individuals’ online consumer credit. The findings of this study have political and practical implications. First, they can contribute to the rational consumption by China’s young generation and promote the sound development of online consumer credit. In the meantime, this study also helps online consumer credit platforms to provide better services and improve public relations.

Online travel information value and its influence on the continuance usage intention of social media

This study tests an empirical model formulated by extending the Triandis model to examine the structural relationships among online travel information value (OTIV), near- and long-term consequences, affect, social factors, facilitating conditions, affective community commitment (ACC), current usage, and continuance usage intention (CUI) among travel-related social media users in Korea. Data were collected through an online survey using the national panel system. A total of 403 respondents were selected based on whether they had traveled at least once within the last 12 months and used at least one social media daily. Eight hypothesized relationships out of eleven were supported. Specifically, as an antecedent of the Triandis model, OTIV had a strong effect on near- and long-term consequences and affect. In addition, the effect of ACC on CUI was stronger than that for current usage. We presented theoretical and practical implications and proposed avenues for future research.

An information security knowledge sharing model in organizations

Knowledge sharing plays an important role in the domain of information security, due to its positive effect on employees' information security awareness. It is acknowledged that security awareness is the most important factor that mitigates the risk of information security breaches in organizations. In this research, a model has been presented that shows how information security knowledge sharing (ISKS) forms and decreases the risk of information security incidents. The Motivation Theory and Theory of Planned Behavior besides Triandis model were applied as the theoretical backbone of the conceptual framework. The results of the data analysis showed that earning a reputation, and gaining promotion as an extrinsic motivation and curiosity satisfaction as an intrinsic motivation have positive effects on employees' attitude toward ISKS. However, self-worth satisfaction does not influence ISKS attitude. In addition, the findings revealed that attitude, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norms have positive effects on ISKS intention and ISKS intention affects ISKS behavior. The outcomes also showed that organizational support influences ISKS behavior more than trust. The results of this research should be of interest to academics and practitioners in the domain of information security.

Non-Muslim Consumers’ Halal Food Product Acceptance Model

This study aims to propose conceptually the model of Halal product acceptance by the non-Muslim consumers. The model is proposed by reviewing consumer behaviour theories, such as theory of planned behaviour (TPB), the Triandis model (TRIANM), and Halal product acceptance model for the religious society (HPAM). Antecedents for the non-Muslim acceptance of Halal food products are determined along with the moderator construct. Inner perspective, Halal logo credibility and habit are treated as the antecedents. Whereas the introduction of acculturation in the model as moderator variable will provide an understanding on how the non-Muslim consumers accept the Halal food products. The study on non-Muslim consumers in the Halal industry is scarce and there is the need for further research pertaining the issues of non-Muslim consumers, both empirical and non-empirical. Since the conceptual nature of the study, only the proposed model is presented in the paper. Any supporting, field or raw data are not included in the paper.

A study on the Relationship between Cyberloafing Characteristic and Cognitive Dissonance

Cyberloafing is a term used to describe the actions of employees who use their Internet access at work for personal use while pretending to do legitimate work. This research that this puts the foundation on the general deterrence theory, social control theory, and Triandis model compares the individual characteristic including the group norm, self-control, perceived value among many factors having an effect on the personal ethical decision-making besides the general principles of ethics and stipulated regulation like the severity of sanction together. It was exposed to have the effect that the severity of punishment, self control, and perceived value notes to the internet abuse action. Therefore, the education and rules of punishment which is consistent along with the theoretical thesis supporting the groping of the preparation plan that is active in the various ethic problems has to be built. It is necessary that the company devises the internet application in the appropriate range, that is the partial the affirmation feeling which and it can allow officially. According to the cognitive dissonance, since this will have to allow with the positive direction can move to the misuse action with the intention differently, it can draw a conclusion.

외식소비자의 온라인 구전정보 수용 및 지속적 이용의도에 관한 연구

The purpose of this study was to 1) examine the effects of perceived consequence (external motivator), emotional factor (internal motivator), and social factor on word-of-mouth acceptance, 2) investigate the effects of facilitating condition, and habit on continuance intention to use, and 3) examine the relationships between word-of-mouth acceptance and continuance intention to use by modified Triandis model. A total of 559 samples obtained via an online survey service were used to examine the validity, reliability and adequacy of the research model and verify 6 hypotheses on this basis. Among the components of the Triandis model, emotion, perceived consequence, and social factor were found to have significant positive(+) impacts on word-of-mouth acceptance, also habit and word-of-mouth acceptance had significant positive(+) impacts on the Continuance intention to use. On the other hand, facilitating condition did not have significant positive(+) impacts on the Continuance intention to use. This study will be utilized as basic data on the food service industry to understand the information search behaviors of food service consumers via social media, and eventually, to maintain great ties between media/information and these consumers.

Examining the Determinants of Knowledge Sharing: Triandis Model Perspective

Examining the Determinants of Knowledge Sharing: Triandis Model Perspective

The factors influencing CoP activities and their impact on relationship commitment and individual performance

Purpose – The objective of this study is to identify the factors that affect CoP activation and performance variables obtainable through CoP activities, and to gain greater insight into their relationships and the mechanisms. In particular, this paper intends to illustrate the role of perceived risk factor for the loss of uniqueness of one's own knowledge in terms of their influence on CoP activities. Design/methodology/approach – In this study, the human behaviours were divided into online and offline CoP activities and adopted affirmative affect and social norm from the Triandis model. In addition, the paper considered perceived expectation, perceived risk, and organization support as independent variables. These would accelerate online and offline activities in the community of practice. The paper considered relationship commitment and individual performance in the context of performance evaluations via CoP activities. A structural equation model was developed with research variables and hypotheses. Findings – As the consequence of the empirical assessment of the variables influencing the on/offline activities of a CoP, social norm, perceived expectation, perceived risk, and organizational support showed significantly influential relationships with online activities, and affirmative affect, perceived expectation, and organizational support evidenced significantly influential relationships with offline activities. However, with regard to online CoP activities, affirmative affect was not shown to be significant. As to offline activities, perceived risk was not shown to be significantly influential, while it was determined to significantly influence online activities in a negative direction. Originality/value – The results of this study demonstrated that on/offline CoP activities were significantly influential in terms both of relationship commitment and individual performance.

A modified and extended Triandis model for the enablers–process–outcomes relationship in hotel employees' knowledge sharing

The primary objective of this study is to propose and investigate the integrative model which was formulated by modifying and extending the Triandis model (TRIANM); this explores the structural relationships among knowledge-sharing enablers, process, and outcomes in hotels from a holistic perspective. The hypotheses are examined with data from 327 employees in 10 five-star hotels in Busan, Korea. Anticipated usefulness and reciprocal relationships are confirmed as the two most important enablers of employees' knowledge-sharing behaviour. Other significant enablers include facilitating conditions and social factors. New enablers, enjoyment in helping others and knowledge self-efficacy, that we have added to the TRIANM are also found to be significant. The path from knowledge-sharing behaviour to organizational innovation capability, the path from organizational innovation capability to organizational performance is found to be significant, respectively. The findings and theoretical and practical implications are then discussed.

The Decision to Receive Influenza Vaccination Among Nurses in North and South Dakota

We examined the relationships between factors (intention, habit, facilitating conditions, and social, cognitive, and affective factors) and nurses' decisions about influenza vaccinations to understand why some get vaccinated while others do not. In a descriptive correlational design, the Triandis model of interpersonal behavior was used to examine the decision of nurses to receive influenza vaccinations. Participants were a random sample (N=193) of registered nurses in North and South Dakota drawn from the respective state nursing licensing board lists. Instrument construction and mail survey procedures followed Dillman's tailored design method. The response rate exceeded 80%. The findings revealed significant, positive correlations among all model variables. Item analysis showed that false beliefs about influenza disease and vaccinations were prevalent and that there was a wide variation in employer support for nurses getting vaccinated. Educational and social marketing strategies may improve nurse's knowledge about influenza disease and vaccine and increase vaccine uptake. Employers should be encouraged to promote and improve influenza vaccine accessibility in the workplace. Additional study is needed to understand how best to strengthen the influence of intention and habit on the decision of nurses to receive influenza vaccinations.

Individual, social, and organizational contexts for active knowledge sharing in communities of practice

Firms that have implemented knowledge management initiatives are now interested in nurturing voluntary knowledge sharing organizations, called communities of practice (CoPs). Adopting the Triandis model on attitude formation, we identified and validated a set of organizational factors that was anticipated to have effects on knowledge sharing by CoP members such as perceived consequences, affect, social factors and facilitating conditions. One hundred and seventy-nine members from 70 CoPs of a large multinational electronics firm participated in this survey. Based on the PLS analysis, perceived consequences, affect, social factors, and facilitating conditions were found to significantly affect knowledge sharing in CoPs.

An integrative model for knowledge sharing in communities‐of‐practice

PurposeThis study attempts to identify the factors and relationships that influence community of practice (CoP) members' knowledge‐sharing attitudes, intentions, and behaviors.Design/methodology/approachThe Theory of Planned Behavior model, Motivation Theory, and the Triandis model were employed here. For the empirical validation, 282 responses from four Korean companies were collected.FindingsWhereas both extrinsic motivational and intrinsic motivational factors positively influenced attitude toward knowledge‐sharing behaviors, intrinsic motivational factors were more influential in this regard. Additionally, some differences in knowledge‐sharing mechanisms were noted between formally managed CoPs and informally nurtured CoPs.Research limitations/implicationsSince the survey samples used herein were limited to Korean companies, the results of this study may prove ungeneralizable.Practical implicationsFor managers who intend to introduce CoPs to their firm, a CoP supportive environment must be created, such that the image, reciprocity, enjoyment of helping, and need for affiliation of each CoP member can be satisfied.Originality/valueThis study is one of the first pieces of integrative research regarding CoPs to target understanding of the most crucial component of CoP activities, namely knowledge sharing.

The Impact of Disability Level on Intention to Perform Home Exercises in Patients with Spinal Pain

Objectives: The aim of our study is to determine whether or not disability level affects the practice and perception of home exercises.Methods: Seventy-five patients diagnosed with cervical and lumbar disc herniation were included in this study. Some had undergone an operation, others had not. The patients were divided into three groups according to the lumbar and cervical Oswestry Disability Index [ODI] scores. Group 1 comprised those with minimal disability, Group 2 with moderate disability, and Group 3 had patients with severe disability. The patients were questioned on their performance of home exercises with a questionnaire developed from the Triandis model consisting of items about perceived consequences, affects, and social factors.Results: When the various sections of the home-based questionnaire were examined according to the groups, no difference was found in the General Intention scores among the three groups [p <.05]. However, the Perceived Consequences scores were found to be significantly lo...

Insights on the drivers and inhibitors of Mobile Data Services uptake

Studying the adoption and acceptance of Mobile Data Services (MDS) has been an intriguing endeavour for quite some time. Much of the related literature is inspired by the technology acceptance model and its heirs. The study presented in this paper adopts an alternative perspective and proposes the study of MDS actual usage patterns under the lens of the Triandis theory of explaining human behaviour. To this end, we adjust the concepts included in the original Triandis model to the MDS context and construct a model predicting MDS use. The model is empirically validated through a survey (N = 365) and tested for its predictive capacity against four different MDS categories (m-commerce, communication, information and entertainment services). Results suggest that the uptake of each of the four service categories is contingent upon a limited set of factors. In addition, financial barriers emerge as a universal inhibitor over and above specific service groupings.

A theory‐based approach to understanding sexual behavior at Mardi Gras

Using the Triandis Model of Interpersonal Behavior (TIB), we considered the unique context of Mardi Gras, the annual festival in New Orleans, Louisiana, and how it might influence sexual behavior. This study utilized a two‐stage, qualitative and quantitative methodological framework. Focus groups of past Mardi Gras participants were held to gather data to inform the development of the study instruments, and data were subsequently collected from 300 Mardi Gras participants in February 2004 using a pencil‐and‐paper questionnaire. For women, the TIB model did not significantly predict intentions to engage in sexual behavior at Mardi Gras. Cognitive beliefs and subjective social norms predicted intentions to engage in oral and vaginal sex among male participants. For men and women, peer sexual activity, intentions, and previous sexual experience predicted engaging in sexual behaviors at Mardi Gras. Situational conditions related to Mardi Gras culture predicted anal sex behavior. The TIB, as a guiding framework for the study, makes apparent the importance of cultural context when developing interventions related to sexuality that are to be implemented in a specific setting like Mardi Gras.
