Objective: While college student drinking has been studied utilizing many different theories and approaches, it is unclear how these theories may overlap in their explanation of problematic drinking. Rather than relying on one theory, examining overlap between multiple theories of alcohol use may lead to a better understanding of the motivational…

This article examines alternative and supplementary ways in which theorists and researchers have sought to account for bullying behavior among students in schools. Contemporary explanations acknowledge the variety, complexity, and interactivity of both person and environmental factors in determining acts of bullying in schools. Two explanatory…

The study employs a sequential explanatory mixed-method design and aims to understand contract cheating behavior by conducting a survey of 1,081 undergraduate students in Indonesia and following up with five respondents to explore those results in more depth. In the first quantitative phase, we collected a variety of information from…

This study incorporated the technology acceptance model (TAM) and theory of planned behavior (TPB) to interpret students' perception of MOOCs. This study was based on a survey questionnaire; all 525 respondents were undergraduates in China. A five-point Likert scale was used to collect data in order to measure relationships among the constructs of…

Purpose: The main goal of this work is to argue the theoretical validity of two competitive models that integrate entrepreneurial alertness in the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), and also to propose an explanation for the conceptual approach with a higher explicative ability. Design/Methodology/Approach: A total of 281 undergraduate students…

This study explored the role of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in shaping sustainable consumption behaviours (SCB) among international students in Japan and South Africa, utilising the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) as a framework. The research aimed to examine how ESD influences attitudes towards sustainability (ATS), subjective…

Academically dishonest behavior, or cheating, has been a continued problem in post-secondary institutions. Research has been varied in terms of understanding the root causes of academically dishonest behaviors and has offered ways in which to mitigate the behaviors by educating students and holding them accountable to institutional expectations.…

Previous studies have suggested that bullying may be contagious in adolescents. The present study examined whether ego depletion mediated the association between peer bullying and participant bullying and whether the mediating process was moderated by participant trait self-control. A sample of 2217 Chinese high school students (16.92 ± 0.94…

Purpose: This study aims to determine and analyze the predictors of food waste reduction intention and behavior among higher education institutions (HEIs) using an extended version of the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Design/methodology/approach: This study empirically tested an extended TPB model through regression analyses using data…

This study aimed to investigate the entrepreneurial intention correlates among high school students with neurodevelopment disorders. The study was conducted using a correlational survey research design. The research data were collected from one hundred college students diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders through a questionnaire. The study…

Background: The dramatic increase in fast food consumption among students, particularly adolescents and children, over the past two decades reflects a significant shift in lifestyle, with nearly one-third of these young individuals consuming ready-made foods on a daily basis. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effect of an intervention based…

Purpose: Through the application of the theory of planned behavior (TPB), this study aims to explore the main determinants of higher education students' pro-environmental behavior. Design/methodology/approach: An online survey was conducted among the students of a public higher education institution (HEI) in Portugal, from March to May of 2020.…

High standards of academic conduct, including the awareness raising of plagiaristic behaviours, are regarded as a central part of the development of individual scholarship in higher education systems worldwide. This research contributes to original knowledge in relation to understanding how students develop an understanding of plagiarism and how…

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the influence of the theory of planned behavior (TPB), innovation and sustainability, through environmental awareness, in the formation of entrepreneurial intention (EI). Design/methodology/approach: Based on the alignment between theoretical axes, such as the theory of planned behavior,…

This study aimed to determine the predictive power of the theory of planned behaviour in predicting the intention and behaviour of positive thinking in school students. A cross-sectional study was performed on 367 high school male students in Iran. Data were gathered using a researcher-made questionnaire whose validity and reliability had been…
