Using the Theory of Planned Behavior to Predict Resident Assistants' Intention to Refer Students to Counseling

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: GATEKEEPER TRAINING is an approach used to increase mental health-related assistance for students who are at risk for suicide. In this study, the Theory of Planned Behavior (TpB) was used to determine the strongest belief-related predictors of resident assistants' (RAs') intention to refer emotionally overwhelmed students to a mental health professional. Results indicated that RAs' intention to refer was predicted by their beliefs about whether important others (e.g., supervisors, co-workers, family members) would approve of their making a referral and by RAs' self-efficacy in making a referral.
