Multiple item measures of norms should have better predictive power than single item measures [41].
The L2 norm is measure of average change in odds across programs.
Responses to each pair of items were multiplied together and a normative belief scale (i.e., a belief-based measure of subjective norm) was subsequently constructed by summing these products across all referents [ 33].
The measure of subjective norm involves the use of questions referring to the opinions of important people in general.
For example, the measure of moral norm [ 30] was found to be useful in understanding women's intention to use HT [ 31, 32].
The normative beliefs score had a correlation of 0.42 (P < 0.0001) with the direct measure of subjective norm, indicating a reasonably moderate strength of relationship between the two measures.
In addition, the effect of this intervention was also partially mediated through both measures of TPB attitude (Attitude direct: Sobel test statistic = -2.49, p = 0.01; Attitude indirect: Sobel test statistic = 3.17, p = 0.001), the TPB measure of subjective norm (Sobel test statistic = -2.36, p = 0.018) and the SCT measure of self-efficacy (Sobel test statistic = -1.98, p = 0.048).
This study assesses the within-community, between-community, and contextual effect of a new measure of social norms (PVNS: Partner Violence Norms Scale) on women's risk of IPV.
We operationalized social motivation to adhere with a measure of social norms for adherence and found that having greater social norms for adherence was not associated with behavioral skills and was negatively associated with adherence.
