| Summary: | This is a case study using Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) to understand the
intention of Malaysian youths aged between 18 to 30 years old to stop pornography
viewing. There were 160 participants who participated in this study via an online survey
using purposive sampling method. The minimum age was 18 while the maximum age
was 30 with the mean age of 23 years old. In terms of gender distribution, there were 110
males (69%) and 50 females (31%). Majority (61.3%) of the participants was
undergraduate students. Attitude toward pornography questionnaire, subjective norms
questionnaire, perceived behavioural control questionnaire, religiosity questionnaire
were used to assess youth were used to measure independent variables and intention to
stop pornography questionnaire was used to measure dependent variable. The reliability
of all questionnaires Cronbach's coefficients was administered for all instrument, the
result were between 0.72 and 0.94. The results of the study showed that all of the main
variables, attitude towards pornography, subjective norms and perceived behavioural
control had significant relationship with the intention to stop pornography viewing.
Among the three variables, attitude towards pornography was found to be the strongest
predictors of intention. Individuals who are committed to religion, who did not
masturbate in relation to pornography viewing had higher intention to stop pornography
viewing. Theoretically, the present findings underlined the role of attitude toward
pornography in influencing the intention to stop pornography among youths in Malaysia.
Practically, the finding implies that proper attitude towards pornography play a huge role
