Resumo: This research aimed to develop an Intention to Maintain Social Distancing Scale (IMSDS) based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The model establishes that the variables attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control are predictors of the intention to maintain social distancing (IMSD). The methodological design was an online survey with non-probabilistic sampling. The survey included 786 Brazilian participants, mostly residents of the southern region of the country. The TBP variables explained 85% of the IMSD variation: subjective norms (β = 0.69), attitudes (β = 0.24) and perceived behavioral control (β = 0.06). These results provide evidence of what are the underlying beliefs that influence the IMSD. This evidence is relevant to public and private organizations in the process of developing strategies to promote and engage the population in adopting the behavior of “maintaining social distancing” in Brazil. In the discussions, the practical implications are presented, pointing out the limitations of the research and the possibilities for future studies on IMSD.

El modelo establece que las variables actitudes, normas subjetivas y control conductual percibido son predictoras de la intención de permanecer en distanciamiento social (IPDS). El diseño metodológico fue una encuesta online con muestreo no probabilístico. La encuesta contó con 786 participantes brasileños, en su mayoría residentes de la región sur del país. Las variables TCP explicaron el 85% de la variación de la IPDS: normas subjetivas (β = 0,69), actitudes (β = 0,24) y control conductual percibido (β = 0,07). Los resultados proporcionan evidencia sobre cuáles son las creencias subyacentes que influyen en la formación de la IPDS. Estas evidencias son relevantes para las organizaciones públicas y privadas en el proceso de desarrollo de estrategias de promoción, que generan el compromiso de la población de adoptar el comportamiento de "permanecer en distanciamiento social" en Brasil. En las discusiones, se presentan las implicaciones prácticas, señalando las limitaciones de la investigación y las posibilidades para futuros estudios sobre IPDS.A presente pesquisa teve por objetivo desenvolver uma Escala de Intenção de Permanecer em Distanciamento Social (EIPDS) com base na Teoria do Comportamento Planejado (TCP). O modelo teórico estabelece que as variáveis “atitudes”, “normas subjetivas” e “controle comportamental percebido” são preditoras da intenção de permanecer em distanciamento social (IPDS). O delineamento metodológico foi o de levantamento online com amostragem não probabilística. A pesquisa contou com 786 participantes brasileiros, majoritariamente residentes da região Sul do país. As variáveis da TCP explicaram 85% da variação da IPDS: normas subjetivas (β = 0,69), atitudes (β = 0,24) e controle comportamental percebido (β = 0,07). Os resultados evidenciam quais crenças subjacentes exercem influência sobre a formação da IPDS e podem servir às organizações públicas e privadas no processo de desenvolvimento de estratégias de promoção e engajamento da população na adoção do comportamento de “permanecer em distanciamento social” no Brasil. O trabalho apresenta as implicações práticas, as limitações da pesquisa e as possibilidades de estudos futuros sobre a IPDS.Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV EBAPE)2020-07-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rap/article/view/81882Brazilian Journal of Public Administration; Vol. 54 No. 4 (2020): The response of the Brazilian public administration to the challenges of the pandemic; 714-734Revista de Administração Pública; Vol. 54 Núm. 4 (2020): La respuesta de la administración pública brasileña a los desafíos de la pandemia; 714-734Revista de Administração Pública; v. 54 n. 4 (2020): A resposta da administração pública brasileira aos desafios da pandemia; 714-7341982-31340034-7612reponame:Revista de Administração Públicainstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rap/article/view/81882/78090https://periodicos.fgv.br/rap/article/view/81882/pdf_359Copyright (c) 2020 Revista de Administração Públicainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessIwaya, Gabriel HornCardoso, Janaína GularteSousa Júnior, João Henriques deSteil, Andrea Valéria2020-08-10T11:51:13Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/81882Revistahttps://ebape.fgv.br/publicacoes/rapONGhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||rap@fgv.br1982-31340034-7612opendoar:2020-08-10T11:51:13Revista de Administração Pública - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)false
