Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate changes and interrelationships of oral health-related knowledge, attitudes and behavior between the ages of 11 and 16 during a randomized clinical trial (RCT) for controlling caries and a program of oral health promotion (OHP). The study population consisted of all 5th and 6th graders who started the 2001−2002 school year in Pori (n=1691) and Rauma (n=807), Finland. In Pori, children were exposed for 3.4 years either to both the RCT experimental regimen and the OHP, or only to the OHP. Children in Rauma acted as reference group. Questionnaire data

In order to slow down, if not stop, climate change, we all need to contribute to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. This knowledge has been with us for a long time, but nevertheless emissions have not decreased, but rather increased. To understand the reason why we don't act in line with what we know, we need to study behaviors. In this paper we focus on behaviors at the individual level. The gap that exists between what we know and what we do has many names where it is studied from different perspectives, and to understand what creates this gap is very complex.

Results indicated that those with a stronger intention to address climate change and a more ecocentric worldview reported significantly more

A potential moderator of this process – locus of control beliefs – was also investigated. In this study, 195 participants indicated their attitudes toward eight health-related behaviors.

As students are the future main target group of this industry, it is important to understand the reasons behind their choices. Until now, travel behaviors have been explained using single and specific theories, which did not include many factors

This study combined two forms of rhetoric in the forms of both framing and politicization to determine which form of rhetoric is most powerful in influencing a person’s attitudes and behavioral intentions. Pro climate change frames are expected to increase support for climate change action, while anti climate change politicization is expected to decrease support for climate change action.

The process of persuasion, the changing of a person’s attitudes, has often been applied to health communications designed to promote healthy behavior. Manipulation of aspects of the persuasive message can influence persuasion and the likelihood of attitude change.

Abstract:

Four studies investigated the effects of attitude extremity and political ideology on the degree and direction of changes in issue attitudes following the presentation of mixed evidence. Based upon previous work, it was predicted that those holding relatively more extreme attitudes would resist changing those views when presented with a mixture of supporting and opposing statements and would potentially adopt more extreme evaluative positions – a phenomenon known as attitude polarization (Lord, Ross, & Lepper, 1979). Evaluative entrenchment or intensification was also expected among more pol

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) to determine whether wellness management students would have higher levels of wellness than students who are not studying wellness, and (b) to determine if the results of the Stages of Change measurement questionnaire would correlate positively with the results of a standardized wellness measurement questionnaire. The first issue was examined by comparing total wellness levels of wellness management graduate students with total wellness levels of nonwellness management graduate students, as measured by the Testwell Wellness Inventory.

Abstract:

This research aims at investigating the impact of the identity change on consumption. An identity change is defined as the acquisition of a new identity after a life change event. For instance after the birth of the first child the new identity as parent is acquired and a woman can define herself as a mother. Despite marketing research recognizes that individuals’ identity is unstable and susceptible to change, the investigation of the identity change is still in its infancy. Furthermore, marketing research did not investigate the contextual effect of the new as well as the old identity on ind
