Keywords:
protective behavior, social and health protection behaviors, female students, Junior High SchoolsAbstract
The objectives were to study social and health protection behaviors and to examine the causal factors of social and health protection behaviors of the junior high school students. Samples were 1,250 female students in the junior high schools. The research instruments were 14 questionnaires. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were 0.77 – 0.90. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and path analysis.
The results found that the important causal factors were the value of self-conservation, social and health news exposure, and a positive attitude towards social protection and health. The results can be used to guide violence prevention by focusing on encouraging students’ good moral characters so that students can receive proper care and develop good behaviors for violence prevention.
