여자청소년의 음주의도에 관한 연구: 계획된 행동이론(Theory of Planned Behavior)의 적용

초록

The purpose of the study is to test the Theory of Planned Behavior in examining female adolescents' drinking intentions. The three components of the theory, namely, attitude toward drinking, subjective norm, and perceived behavior control were examined in relation to one's drinking intentions. Data from a total of 604 female adolescents from 5 different junior high and high schools in Seoul were collected. Results from structural equation modeling indicated that all paths from attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control to drinking intentions were significant, rendering the theory applicable for explaining female adolescents' drinking intentions. Among three paths, attitude toward drinking was found to be the most influential. Within subjective norm, siblings' norm was most influential in participants' subjective norms. Lastly, permissive environment was most influential for female adolescents' perceived behavioral control. Several meaningful implications for prevention programs in the school setting are discussed.
