From motivation to mediterranean diet intention and behavior: A combined self-determination theory and theory of planned behavior approach
OBJECTIVE: The Mediterranean diet (MD) is recognized as one of the healthiest and most sustainable dietary patterns worldwide. This study combines the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Self-Determination Theory (SDT) alongside past MD adherence behavior to predict MD adherence among young and adult Italians. METHODS AND MEASURES: Using a two-wave prospective design, 706 participants (Women = 60.5%, mean age = 31.82) completed measures of past …
The Effectiveness of Tailored Messaging Interventions to Promote Cancer Screening Adherence: A Systematic Review
Promoting adherence to cancer screenings through effective communication campaigns is critical for the prevention and early detection of cancer, significantly enhancing patients' health outcomes. This systematic review aims to assess the effectiveness of tailored messaging interventions in promoting screenings for cervical, breast, and colorectal cancer. Randomized controlled trials conducted between January 2000 and August 2025, which personaliz…
Sexual Assertiveness in Men and Women: The Role of Body Appreciation and Enjoyment of Sexualization
Meat, without meat: A TPB and VBN integration to understand intention to consume new generation of plant-based meat alternatives
Purpose New generation of plant-based meat alternatives (PBMAs) offers a sustainable alternative for mitigating the environmental strain associated with conventional meat production by offering a substitute that mimics the sensory properties of meat itself. However, the success of a novel food depends on consumer acceptance. Psychosocial literature has already shown that the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and the value-belief-norm (VBN) model …
Restrained eating and energy-dense food consumption: The moderating effect of self-compassion
The limitations of the study and the implications for intervention leveraging self-compassion and future research in the realm of eating habits are discussed
Physicians’ adoption of massive open online courses content in the workplace: An investigation on the training transfer process through the Theory of Planned Behavior
While Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are recognized as helpful learning tools for professional development in healthcare organizations, they often result in a low transfer of knowledge and skills into participants' workplaces. Moreover, little research has explored the factors shaping physicians’ intention to transfer learning acquired through these courses to the workplace. In light of the above, the present study adopted an extended versio…
No more than “half prevention”: A qualitative study on psychosocial determinants of Covid-19 vaccination acceptance
Vaccine hesitancy represents a major barrier to achieving Covid-19 vaccination coverage, including in Italy, where the vaccination rates suggest that Covid-19 vaccination has not been fully integrated into people's routine immunization schedules. While quantitative studies have generated ample data on factors influencing vaccination decisions, rarely was an overall picture of people's actual views and experiences with Covid-19 vaccines provided. …
Understanding Colorectal Cancer Screening Attendance: A Comprehensive Theory of Planned Behaviour Model
Population‐based colorectal cancer screening programs decrease mortality, but the participation rates are still unsatisfactory. Drawing from relevant psychosocial literature, this study aims to test a widely integrated theory of planned behaviour model applied to colorectal cancer screening attendance. The model considered, at the same time, additional proximal predictors (anticipated regret and self‐identity) and distal (via attitude) predictors…
Navigating women’s cancer prevention: Two cross-sectional studies to investigate psychosocial antecedents of cervical and breast cancer screening attendance
Despite population-based cancer screening programmes effectively decreasing mortality, participation rates are unsatisfactory for both cervical and breast screening. This research tested an integrated theory of planned behaviour model applied to cervical cancer screening (CCS; Study 1) and breast cancer screening (BCS; Study 2) attendance. Women residing in Campania (Italy) and belonging to each screening target population joined two independent …
Emotions and Narrative Reappraisal Strategies of Users of Breast Cancer Screening: Reconstructing the Past, Passing Through the Present, and Predicting Emotions
Emotional forecasting, meaning how a person anticipates feeling as a consequence of their choices, drives healthcare decision-making. Research, however, suggests that people often do not fully anticipate or otherwise grasp the future emotional impacts of their decisions. Emotional reappraisal strategies, such as putting emotions into words and sharing emotions with others, may mitigate potential undesirable effects of emotions on decision-making.…

Only the best for my kids: An extended TPB model to understand mothers’ use of food labels
Despite the evidence that mothers' food purchasing behavior impacts the quality of children's diet, few studies have explored psycho-social factors influencing how mothers choose the food to buy for their children. To fill this gap, this study tested an extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model to predict mothers' tendency to seek information on food labels before purchasing food for children. Participants included 311 Italian mothers who c…
Understanding the psychosocial determinants of Italian parents’ intentions not to vaccinate their children: An extended theory of planned behaviour model
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify the psychosocial factors involved in Italian parents' intentions not to vaccinate their children. For this purpose, we used an extended version of the Theory of Planned Behaviour, which included both proximal and distal factors influencing intention not to vaccinate children. DESIGN: Participants included 447 Italian parents, each completed an online questionnaire, which measured intention not to vaccinate …
Exploring the roles of online moral disengagement, body esteem, and psychosexual variables in predicting sexting motivations and behaviours
Tumblr Facts: Antecedents of Self-Disclosure across Different Social Networking Sites
Previous research investigating antecedents of online self-disclosure pointed out two perspectives: social compensation and enhancement hypotheses, showing controversial findings. Furthermore, most contributions have focused on social networking sites (SNSs) considered mainstream, like Facebook and Instagram, and such results are often considered universally valid for all SNSs. Tumblr is a less-studied SNS with peculiar features—such as anonymity…
The Relationship between Healthcare Providers and Preventive Practices: Narratives on Access to Cancer Screening
Cancer screening programs are public health interventions beneficial to early diagnoses and timely treatments. Despite the investment of health policies in this area, many people in the recommended age groups do not participate. While the literature is mainly focused on obstacles and factors enabling access to health services, a gap from the point of view of the target population concerns healthcare providers. Within the "Miriade" research-action…

The “Land of Fires” Toxic Waste Scandal and Its Effect on Consumer Food Choices
The present study focused on an environmental scandal that occurred in Italy, the Land of Fires toxic waste scandal, which caused consumer concerns related to the safety of food produced in the affected region, as well as massive market reduction in products associated with the polluted area. Based on a representative sample of Italian households ( N = 1134), this study applied an extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model to analyze consume…
