摘要

Background. In the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), intention and perceived behavioral control are the proximate predictors of behavior (Ajzen, 1991). However, when the TPB is used with children, behavior is not predicted well from intention (the so-called intention-behavior gap).;Purpose. To answer the following: (a) Do attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control directly predict children's exercise behaviors better than intention? (b) Can other factors---e.g. BMI, SES, age, past exercise behaviors and strategic planning--- improve prediction of the child's behavior? (c) Does the strength of the relationship between intention and behavior increase as the child's age increases?;Method. Children ages 9 to 14 years, from two charter schools in San Bernardino County were given a 35-item TPB questionnaire and the physical activity questionnaire for older children (PAQ-C). One week later children were given the PAQ-C and had their height and weight measured. Parental consent and participant assent were obtained prior to data collection.;Results. Instrumental and experiential attitude, injunctive and descriptive subjective norm and PBC-controllability and PBC-Capability were found to be significant, direct predictors of children's exercise behaviors explaining 25.9% (p .001) of the variance in exercise. The modified TPB (leaving out intention) was found to be a significantly better fit to the data [Z (345) = 3.11, p = .002] than the original model---predicting 9.7% more of the variance in children's exercise behaviors. Intention was not a significant predictor of exercise once the other TPB variables were included. Injunctive descriptive norms, gender and age were found to be significant independent predictors of exercise, while experiential attitude approached significance ( p = .053). The intention-behavior relationship was not found to improve with the child's age. Planning was found to predict attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control. Also, the variables that predicted leisure exercise were different from those that predicted in-school exercise.;Conclusions. The results of this study will help improve prediction of exercise behaviors among children. Several findings regarding the various influences of children's exercise behaviors can be used by program planners and implementers to predict children's exercise behaviors and develop successful, more appropriate exercise-based interventions.

(c)意图和行为之间关系的强度是否随着孩子年龄的增加而增加?来自圣贝纳迪诺县两所特许学校的9至14岁儿童获得了35项城规会问卷和大龄儿童体育锻炼问卷(PAQ-C)。一周后,给孩子们服用PAQ-C,并测量身高和体重。收集数据之前先获得父母的同意和参与者的同意。发现工具性和体验性态度,禁令和描述性主观规范以及PBC可控性和PBC能力是重要的,直接预测儿童运动行为的指标,解释了25.9%(p <.001)的运动差异。发现修改后的TPB(遗漏意图)比原始模型更适合数据[Z(345)= 3.11,p = .002]-预测儿童运动行为的差异多9.7% 。一旦包括其他TPB变量,意图并不是运动的重要预测指标。禁令描述性规范,性别和年龄是运动的重要独立预测因子,而体验态度则具有重要意义(p = .053)。没有发现意向行为关系会随着孩子的年龄而改善。发现计划可以预测态度,主观规范和感知的行为控制。同样,预测休闲运动的变量与预测学校运动的变量也不同。这项研究的结果将有助于改善儿童运动行为的预测。计划制定者和实施者可以使用有关儿童运动行为各种影响的一些发现来预测儿童的运动行为并制定成功的,更合适的基于运动的干预措施。
