The dependent variable was sexual behavior. The independent variables were intention, attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, behavioral belief, normative belief, and control belief. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by path analysis.
Results: Positive sexual behavior in female adolescents was directly and positively affected by intention (b= 3.22; 95% CI= 1.46 to 4.97; p<0.001) and perceived behavioral control (b= 2.42; 95% CI= 1.23 to 3.61; p<0.001). Positive sexual behavior was indirectly affected by attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, behavioral belief, normative belief, and control belief.
