The study analyzed a representative Malaysian public sample and found that "knowledge scores of those who were unsure were also significantly lower than those who agreed that the virus would be successfully controlled." This links higher knowledge with more favorable attitudes toward COVID-19 control among Malaysians.

This Malaysian household survey found that respondents with better attitudes toward mental health were more willing to seek help, and it reports that demographic characteristics were significantly related to either knowledge or attitude. The abstract does not state a direct knowledge-attitude correlation, but it is a primary Malaysian household survey on the topic.

In the Lipis district indigenous population study, the authors report that "the knowledge scores have a weak positive correlation with the attitude scores (r = 0.012, p = 0.830), however, it is not significant." The same article also states that higher household income was associated with higher attitude scores, but it does not support a knowledge-attitude association.

Science.gov’s topic aggregation for Malaysia knowledge attitudes surfaces multiple Malaysian KAP studies and includes the explicit result: "There was positive correlation (p<0.001) between mean knowledge (6.07±2.52) and attitude scores (5.59±1.67)." Because this is an aggregator, it is secondary evidence pointing to an underlying Malaysian household survey.

Among community-dwelling adults in Malaysia, 85.7% had a positive attitude toward advance care planning after the term was explained to them. The paper also states that community-dwelling adults with comorbidities had a more favorable attitude toward ACP, while awareness was low.

This Malaysian general-population study reports that Malaysians had good knowledge but "negative attitudes," and explicitly says that "the public’s sound knowledge ensured little improvement in their attitudes and practices." It is relevant as a counterexample showing that higher knowledge did not necessarily correspond to more favorable attitudes in this case.

Overall, the results indicated that both veterinary and medical students had high knowledge with moderate to high attitudes towards COVID-19. Spearman’s correlation test was used to identify the relationship between the variables. The results in Table 6 show no statistically significant association between knowledge to attitude and practice variables with p = .114, r = 0.093, and p = .016, r = 0.818, respectively. Nevertheless, there was a statistically significant association between attitude and practice variables with p = .001, r = 0.325.

In this Malaysian indigenous-population COVID-19 prevention study, multivariable regression showed that higher knowledge scores were associated with higher attitude scores. The abstract states that 'higher knowledge score (p < 0.001)' and 'higher attitude score (p < 0.001)' were significant in the model, and that there was a positive correlation between knowledge and attitude-related measures through the KAP framework.

Around 73% of the respondents had good knowledge of COVID-19, 58.6% possessed positive attitudes, and 54.6% were classified as having good practices in COVID-19 prevention. A weak positive and significant correlation existed between knowledge and practices (r = 0.220 and p = 0.001). Meanwhile, there was no correlation between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.039 and p = 0.517). Undergraduate students from Malaysian public universities had good KAP associated with COVID-19.

This Malaysian household solid-waste study reports that knowledge and attitude were both positively related to the outcome and that knowledge had a significant relationship with the study variables. The paper states: 'The findings show that there is a significant relationship between knowledge and behaviour ... [and] attitude and behaviour,' and that knowledge, attitude, and subjective norms influenced household behavior in the regression model.

The study on plastic waste in households in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia found that people who were more informed and more convinced of their knowledge had a more positive attitude toward recycling than their counterparts. This is consistent with a positive knowledge-attitude association in a Malaysian household context.

The KAP scores from this study show that people have sufficient knowledge relating to problems and the spread of Zika virus among the people from this region. Results: Multiple correlation analyses were conducted between respondents’ KAP score and independent variables (Age >60 years; Female gender; Selangor state; At least 1 pregnant woman per household). The independent variables such as ‘Female gender’, ‘Selangor state’ and ‘At least 1 pregnant woman per household’ were positively and significantly correlated with KAP score whereas, age >60 years was negatively and significantly correlated with the KAP scores. There was a moderate positive correlation between variables ‘At least 1 pregnant woman per household’ and KAP score, r = 0.46, P = 0.035.

This study on food safety awareness among migrant workers in Malaysia is a KAP-related Malaysian study. It is relevant as supporting context for the general research area, but the search excerpt provided does not include a direct statement that higher knowledge is associated with more favorable attitudes.

This study found that students with higher knowledge and awareness of falls had a more positive attitude toward older adults. Although it is not a household survey and not Malaysia-specific, it is consistent with the general claim that higher knowledge can be associated with more favorable attitudes.

This study of food safety KAP among adults in Malaysia during the COVID-19 pandemic is a potentially relevant Malaysian household-related source, but the search result does not expose a specific knowledge-attitude correlation or regression result in the snippet provided.

Specifically, this study (1) investigates the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward COVID-19, (2) explores how COVID-19 knowledge alters preventive practices, and (3) examines how attitudes toward preventive practices moderate the relationship between knowledge and practices. The results indicate that Malaysians generally have excellent knowledge of COVID-19 and exhibit a cautious attitude toward the pandemic. COVID-19 knowledge significantly and positively affects COVID-19 preventive practices. Attitudes toward preventive practices significantly and positively moderate the relationship between COVID-19 knowledge and preventive practices.

This reviewer-comment page for a BMJ Open article references "household incomes in other studies" and discusses knowledge-related findings, but it is not primary evidence and provides only indirect support for the topic.

This study examined public knowledge and attitudes toward home quarantine instructions in Malaysia and its associations with history of COVID-19, but the provided snippet does not include a direct knowledge-attitude association result.

Therefore, this study seeks to examine the relationship between students' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding the SDGs at the Centre for Foundation Studies, Universiti Teknologi MARA. This study also aims to identify students' knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The results of the correlation analysis showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between students' knowledge and attitude regarding SDGs, as well as between knowledge and practice, and attitude and practice.

This thesis investigates the predicting effects of attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and intention toward food waste reduction. It is relevant to Malaysian household behavior research, but it is not direct evidence for the claim that higher knowledge levels are associated with more favorable attitudes.

Valuable information was obtained from KAP surveys showing an overall lack of knowledge among travelers about the most frequent travel-associated infections and associated preventive measures. This methodological approach however, is mainly descriptive, addressing knowledge, attitudes, and practices separately and lacking an examination of the interrelationships between these three components. Another limitation of the KAP method is underestimating psychosocial variables that have proved influential in health related behaviors, including perceived benefits and costs of preventive measures, perceived social pressure, perceived personal control, unrealistic optimism and risk propensity.

This thesis reports positive correlations among multiple knowledge, attitude, and practice variables in a Malaysian poisoning-awareness study. It is relevant as supporting context, but it is a lower-authority academic thesis rather than a peer-reviewed journal article.

KAP (Knowledge, Attitudes, Practices) studies in Malaysia frequently examine whether higher knowledge scores are associated with more favorable attitudes or better practices among households or specific groups. Findings are mixed: some Malaysian KAP studies report positive and significant correlations between knowledge and attitude, while others find weak or non-significant relationships, or note that good knowledge coexists with negative attitudes. These studies typically use cross-sectional questionnaire surveys and correlation or regression analyses to test associations between knowledge levels and attitudes toward the topic being studied.
