TABLE 2.
Changes in Attitudes, Intentions, and Behavior as a Function of Past Behavior and Spontaneous Cognitions: Study 3
Behavior- Consistent Cognitions |
Behavior- Inconsistent Cognitions |
|
---|---|---|
Attitudes at Time 1 | ||
High condom use behavior | 2.25 | 0.57 |
Low condom use behavior | 0.64 | −0.99 |
Attitude change | ||
High condom use behavior | 0.13 | −1.34a |
Low condom use behavior | −0.05 | 0.20a |
Intention change | ||
High condom use behavior | −0.60a | −1.20a |
Low condom use behavior | −0.18 | 0.41a |
Behavior change | ||
High condom use behavior | −0.87a | −1.00a |
Low condom use behavior | 0.08 | 0.41a |
NOTE: High and low condom use behavior represent cells with high and low frequency of past condom use. Behavior-consistent cognitions pertain to participants with predominantly negative beliefs when their condom use behavior was low and with predominantly positive beliefs when their condom use behavior was high. Behavior-inconsistent cognitions pertain to participants with predominantly positive beliefs when their condom use behavior was low and with predominantly negative beliefs when their condom use behavior was high.
Change is significantly different from zero.
