Abstract
The aim of the present study was to optimise educational interventions with asylum seekers. Asylum seekers (n=284) completed a questionnaire that assessed the theory of planned behaviour constructs. The results highlight the importance of social norms and their perceived control over the decision to stay, when explaining their intention to remain in the host country until the reception of the answer to their asylum request. Moreover, behavioural beliefs about the new life, medical services, the feeling of security, employment and education perspectives were identified as motivators. Educational practices can be developed on the basis of these asylum seekers’ beliefs.
