Predicting Dentists' Professionalism: Theory of Planned Behavior

This research article, 'Predicting Dentists' Professionalism Using the Theory of Planned Behavior' by M. R. Abedini, A. Kebriaei, and H. Rahmani (2016), explores the applicability of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) in predicting dentists' professionalism. The study investigates the relationships between attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intentions towards professional conduct in dental practice. The findings suggest that the TPB can effectively predict dentists' professional behavior, highlighting the importance of these factors in shaping dentists' actions.
