1. Relationship of variables in model. 206'· Fig. 2. Relationship of variables for drinkers only. in grades 9-12 completed a battery of surveys that examined the determinants of the model. At 3 mo (n = 500) and 1 yr (n = 417) later, students were questioned regarding their drinking and driving behaviors. Figure 1 shows the relationships between the variables. As expected, intention was a strong predictor of behavior at both Time 1 and Time 2. 001), accounting for 8 and 4% of the variance, respectively.

Second, it may be that the assessment of perception of control was not measuring the construct that was intended.
