Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate any possible relations between gender, age, attitudes and intention among Greek University students, on their future postgraduate Greek music and dance participation, within the University. The sample consisted of 127 students (80 female, 47 male) between the ages of 20 up to 60. The instrument that was used was the Greek version (Theodorakis, 1994) of the “Planned Behavior Theory Questionnaire” (Ajzen & Madden, 1986). The results revealed high internal consistency among all of the variables. Hierarchical regression analyses showed strong association between the examined variables of the Planned Behavior Questionnaire, specifically signifying that knowledge, and information, could account for anticipation of intention towards participation in a Postgraduate Greek Music and Dance program. Overall, the study indicated the usefulness of the specific instrument on the investigation of students’ future attitudes and intentions.
