Assessment of Safe Listening Intentional Behavior Toward Personal Listening Devices in Young Adults (open access)

Assessment of Safe Listening Intentional Behavior Toward Personal Listening Devices in Young Adults

This article explores the use of Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to identify attitudes, social norms, and behavioral control in 92 young adults toward two intentional behaviors related to safe listening habits while listening to their personal listening devices: (1) lowering the intensity of loud music, and (2) shortening the listening duration of loud music. Linear regression findings indicated that the overall TPB models were significant. Positive attitudes toward turning the music down and shortening the durations were significantly associated with intentions to engage in non-risky behavior, more so for the former behavior.
