Abstract
The aim of the present study was to identify the psychosocial factors influencing intention to use condoms among a group of 69 automobile mechanic students. Ajzen's theoretical framework was used for the study of intention. The multiple regression analyses yielded adjusted R2 of 0.53 (P<0.001) for the whole group (N = 69) and 0.64 (P<0.001) for the sexually-active students (N = 53). MANOVAs revealed significant differences between high and low intenders concerning behavioral beliefs (P<0.001), normative beliefs (P<0.01) and perceived barriers (P<0.05). It would seem that using arguments about the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases to convince this population to use condoms is useless.
