This nationally representative telephone (wire-line and cell phone) survey explores Americans' opinions about behavioral targeting by marketers, a controversial issue currently before government policymakers. Behavioral involves two types of activities: following users' actions then tailoring advertisements for the users based on those actions.

New Annenberg survey results indicate that marketers are misrepresenting a large majority of Americans by claiming give out information about themselves as tradeoff for benefits they receive. To the contrary, reveals most do not believe 'data discounts' is square deal. The findings also suggest, in contrast to other academics' claims, Americans' willingness provide personal cannot be explained public's poor knowledge ins and outs digital commerce.Our findings, instead, support new...

Using a longitudinal web-based survey of adolescents 14-16 years age, we estimate regression models where self-reported sexual behavior and content analytic-based exposure to sex in the media are related cross-sectionally longitudinally. We find evidence for both cross-sectional non-recursive prospective relationships even after adjusting established predictors (e.g., physical development, having romantic partner, parental monitoring, peer norms, respondent's age) time respondent goes bed,...
The second edition of this best-selling book has been published in response to the increased sophistication and methodological advances today's evaluation research. Since first was published, attention field shifted from outcome evaluations their implementation utilization by decision-makers. This reflects that trend. Written leading specialists research, well-integrated volume combines many new articles with several revised pieces edition.
Abstract Legume-supported cropping systems affect environmental, production, and economic impacts. In Europe, legume production is still marginal with grain legumes covering less than 3% of arable land. A transition towards legume-supported could contribute to a higher level protein self-sufficiency lower environmental impacts agriculture. Suitable approaches for designing are required that go beyond the prescriptive solutions. We applied DEED framework scientists advisors in 17 study areas...
Abstract Behavioural theorists have identified attitudes, perceived norms and self-efficacy as the important determinants of people's intentions to engage in a given behaviour. Because predict behaviour, these same variables also account for considerable amount variation Nevertheless, there is often substantial proportion population who do not act on their intentions. While recently proposed integrative theory behaviour suggests that 'failures' are due either lack skills and/or presence...
Project RESPECT was a multisite randomized trial comparing three clinic-based interventions’ ability to increase condom use and prevent infection with HIV sexually transmitted diseases. Because had guiding concepts that determined the content of sessions, authors investigated how intervention operated using these theoretical variables. Growth curve analysis structural equation modeling estimated correlation between intentions toward self-reports isolated treatment effects on mediating...
The evidence base and theoretical frameworks for mass media HIV-prevention campaigns in the United States are not well-developed. We describe an intervention approach using culturally sensitive messages to enhance protective beliefs behavior of African American adolescents at risk HIV. This exploits potential that have, only reach a large segment adolescent population thereby support normative change, but also engage most vulnerable segments this audience reduce HIV-associated behaviors....
Published research demonstrates an association between exposure to media sexual content and a variety of sex-related outcomes for adolescents. What is not known the mechanism through which produces this “media effect” on adolescent beliefs, attitudes, behavior. Using Integrative Model Behavioral Prediction, article uses data from longitudinal study adolescents ages 16 18 ( N = 460) determine how influences Path analysis structural equation modeling demonstrated that intention engage in...
This study used the Integrative Model as a framework to examine whether religiosity delays onset of coitus among longitudinal sample virgins, and investigated causal pathways this relationship. In addition, examined behavioral beliefs about consequences engaging in sex, which distinguishes between youth who vary level religiosity. A further analysis was also conducted offers protective effects terms progression toward sexual intercourse on behavior index. The index assumes progressive nature...
This article reports on the extent to which adolescents report actively seeking sexual content in media, identifies from media they seeking, estimates association between information and romantic behavior, shows that active of sources is explained by an intention seek such using Integrative Model Behavioral Prediction, a reasoned action approach. The data are national sample 810 aged 13 18 years. Results show 50% reported their choices, included movies, television, music, Internet...

Adolescents (n = 629) participating were also surveyed.Parent time is associated child had a stronger relationship than...
Quantitative researchers distinguish between causal and effect indicators. What are the analytic problems when both types of measures present in a quantitative reasoned action analysis? To answer this question, authors use data from longitudinal study to estimate association two constructs central theory: behavioral beliefs attitudes toward behavior. The belief items indicators that define latent variable index while attitude reflect operation scale. identify issues single analysis conclude...
Background: Few studies have investigated the role that spiritual activities play in adaptational outcomes of women with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease. Objective: To examine as a resource may reduce negative effects disease-related stressors on HIV-infected women. Methods: A theoretically based causal model was tested to moderator impact HIV-related (functional impairment, work and symptoms) two stress-related (emotional distress quality life), using clinic-based sample 184...
Abstract The purpose of this study is to estimate the association between adolescent sexual behavior and exposure media content. A three-wave, longitudinal survey sample (N = 506) 14- 16-year-olds at baseline analyzed using growth curves. Growth trajectories are linear for but not signs slopes uniformly positive: Hispanic African American respondents show declines content over age range investigated here. Although changes in sex highly associated with among Whites, there little or no these...
This case study of conflict over land use on the Hawaiian island Moloka'i examines tension between a tourism growth machine and island's residents.
