The Differences Between Blood Donors and Non-donors: Intensity and Dimensionality of Attitudes, Prediction of intention and Behavior

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study was to explore the dimensionality of the attitudes towards blood donation and to examine possible differences in attitude structure between donors and nondonors. Furthermore, we intended to test the differences between donors and non-donors regarding certain aspects of the attitudes towards blood donation, and the differences in predicting intention and behavior. A total sample of 417 persons participated in this research (158 donors and 259 non-donors). Attitudes towards blood donation (Likert scale and bipolar adjectives scale) and intention to donate were assessed. Actual behavior was observed in the period of 3 months after the administration of the questionnaires. Factor analysis showed 4 significant factors, two of them positive (obligation, justification) and two negative (direct threat and common reasons). When the number of factors was limited to two, the hypothesis of positive and negative component of attitudes was confirmed.
