- Abstract:
- The present study applied the theory of planned behavior to predict teachers’ intention to seek consultation services from school psychologists. Participants were 121 elementary school teachers who were recruited from a school district in the South Florida area. Teachers completed a questionnaire, which contained demographic items and measured attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control. Multiple regression analysis revealed that attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control explained 48% of the variance in teachers' intention to seek consultation with a school psychologist. Subjective norms and perceived behavioral control were significant predictors of behavioral intention. Attitude, however, was not found to be a statistically significant predictor of behavioral intention. Strategies to foster collaboration between teachers and school psychologists are discussed.
