Abstract

Guided by the health belief model (HBM), the present study attempts to assess the influence of three major constructs of HBM namely perceived threat, perceived barriers, and perceived benefits on the attitude toward anti-littering behavior. In total, 750 individuals were interviewed at 34 locations across the states of New Delhi and Punjab in a field survey. Empirical research had been conducted through confirmatory factor analysis in AMOS 21.0 to classify the predictors of the four constructs according to their relative significance using the natural gaps in standardized regression weight values. Subsequently, path analysis has been used to test a series of hypotheses concerning the direct effects of perceived threat, perceived barriers, and perceived benefits on attitude toward anti-littering behavior. The findings of the study reveal that perceived barriers and perceived benefits have a significant influence on the attitude, whereas perceived threat does not have a significant influence on the attitude.
影响反乱丢垃圾行为态度的因素
在健康信念模型(HBM)的指导下,本研究试图评估HBM的三个主要构念即感知威胁、感知障碍和感知利益对反乱扔行为态度的影响。总共有750人在新德里和旁遮普邦的34个地点接受了实地调查。实证研究通过AMOS 21.0中的验证性因子分析,利用标准化回归权值的自然间隙,对四个构式的预测因子按其相对显著性进行分类。随后,通过通径分析对感知威胁、感知障碍和感知利益对反乱丢垃圾行为态度的直接影响进行了一系列假设检验。研究结果表明,感知障碍和感知利益对态度有显著影响,而感知威胁对态度没有显著影响。
