Sexual Communication of Parents and Children: The Theory of Reasoned Action and Planned Behavior
Journal Title: Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research (BJSTR) - Year 2019, Vol 19, Issue 3
Abstract
The objective of this revision is to explain how sexual communication of parents and children occurs using the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) and Planned Behavior. The TRA has proven validity and usefulness to explain health behaviors. The theory states that behaviors are under the control of the individual with the person being a rational being who processes information using it in a structured manner with the aim of evaluating and making decisions. Behavior is determined by a logical thinking process called intention. The intention of the individual of carrying out a particular behavior is achieved as a result of the interrelation between behavioral and normative beliefs. Ajzen and Fishbein (1988) expanded the concepts and relationships of TRA and proposed the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). In this extension, another belief is introduced, behavioral control, which is described as the perception of factors that can facilitate or impede the performance of a behavior. Because of the aforementioned, this theory is considered pertinent for explaining sexual communication of parents and adolescent childrenThe Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) has proven its validity and usefulness to explain health behaviors; it has also been used to substantiate interventions that modify health behaviors [1]. This theory is applicable to explain how sexual communication occurs between parents and children. The TRA of Fishbein and Ajzen [2] states that behaviors are under the control of the individual because humans are rational beings that process information, using it in a structured manner with the aim of evaluating and making decisions. In other words, behavior is determined by a process of logical thought known as intention. Likewise, the individual’s intention to perform a specific behavior is achieved as a result of the interaction between behavioral and normative beliefs. Therefore, a brief description of how beliefs are formed is presented.
