Purpose This study aims to apply and extend the theory of planned behavior (TPB) predict intention take a COVID-19 vaccine. Design Cross-sectional. Setting Online. Sample Adult US residents recruited from Amazon Mechanical Turk ( n = 172). Measures Intention vaccine (outcome variable), demographic variables (predictors), standard TPB (perceived behavioral control, attitude, subjective norm; predictors), non-TPB (anticipated regret, health locus perceived community benefit; predictors)....

Recognizing the severe consequences of alcohol consumption during pregnancy, such as fetal spectrum disorders (FASDs), present study explored role drinking attitudes, trait impulsivity, and decision-making toward instant gratification in craving pregnancy among mothers reproductive age.

The goal of the present study was to evaluate Theory Planned Behavior (TPB) as an explanation for bystanders’ intention help cyberbullying victims among college students. Participants completed online survey in which their intention, attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control toward helping were assessed. In addition these traditional TPB variables, empathy anticipated regret from not included model. Results showed that significantly predicted over above variables. also...

A sample of 109 college students completed a survey to assess how frequently they send or read text messages while driving. In novel discounting task with hypothetical scenario in which participants receive message driving, rated the likelihood replying immediately versus waiting reply until arriving at destination. The presented several delays destination and probabilities motor vehicle crash. decreased as function both delay probability Self‐reported higher frequencies texting driving were...

Backgrounds and objectives Renal sinus fat (RSF) is an indicator of obesity-related complications. However, the measurement imaging process are complicated. For a simple RSF, we focused on kidney's shape change caused by RSF accumulation. Thus, this study aimed to investigate whether anteroposterior diameter renal (APDRS) computed tomography (CT) axial image useful for evaluating Materials methods The correlation between APDRS was investigated in 98 outpatients who underwent abdominal CT. In...

The primary purpose of the present study was to examine effectiveness threat appeals in influencing impulsive decision making associated with texting while driving. participants treatment group were exposed a threatening message about danger driving, whereas those control non-threatening message. Following exposure either message, completed delay-discounting task that assessed degree hypothetical texting-while-driving scenario. A comparison between groups revealed reduced In addition, led...

The goal of this study was to determine whether cluster analysis could be used identify distinct subgroups text message users based on behavioral economic indices demand for messaging. Cluster is an analytic technique that attempts categorize cases similarities across selected variables. Participants completed a questionnaire about mobile phone usage and hypothetical texting task in which they indicated their likelihood paying extra charge continue send messages. A hierarchical conducted...

This study examined whether text-message users would differ in levels of executive function, a trait impulsivity, and impulsive decision making. A sample 167 college students (57 percent whom were female the mean age was 19.9 years with standard deviation 4.1) participated. Using hierarchical cluster analysis dependency, participants grouped into excessive dependent (dependent users), but nondependent (excessive or nonexcessive (normal users). The groups then compared on extent to which they...

Objective: Texting while driving is a dangerous behavior. Drivers continue to engage in the behavior despite knowing its risks, and factors responsible for decision text are poorly understood. This study examined how relationship of sender driver, addition delay destination, may affect with use social- delay-discounting paradigm.Methods: Ninety-four (N = 94) undergraduate students completed hypothetical task which they rated their likelihood replying message immediately versus waiting reply...
