To conduct the empirical investigation, the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) was applied to determine the role that socio-cognitive factors play on the decision of wearing a pollution mask among a sample of Chinese students. Previous research had proven the validity of the theory-based psychological models in explaining the intention to take preventive measure for limiting the health effects of air pollution [18, 19] . Attitude, social norm, self-efficacy, and past behaviour were all positively related to the intention of wearing a pollution mask and also highly significant (specifically, β A = 0.23, p < 0.01, β SN = 0.37, p < 0.01, β SN = 0.32, p < 0.01, β PB = 0.12, p < 0.01).	./cache/cord-345883-ncot7tvn.txt	./txt/cord-345883-ncot7tvn.txt
