Abstract Details

2017, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Communication.
This dissertation proposes a modified version of the Integrative Model of Behavior Prediction (Fishbein, 2000) to understand motivations affecting Ohio State University Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs)’ behavioral intentions for attending teaching development workshops at their university’s center for teaching (UCAT). Current Ohio State GTAs (N = 139) were surveyed to explore how attitudes, norms, efficacy, and anticipated emotions affect their behavioral intentions. The study found support for some elements of the modified model, including the additions of response efficacy and anticipated emotions. Anticipated emotions were found to work as a mediator for the main variables’ effects on behavioral intention. Support was not found for the interaction effect of injunctive and descriptive norms. The study also found that the distal variables of previous teaching experience and familiarity with their university’s center for teaching affected behavioral intentions to attend teaching development workshops at the GTAs’ center for teaching. Implications for behavior prediction research and teaching development implementation and marketing are discussed.
