TRA constructs can be measured using the Structural Equation Modeling method with Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results found that acceptance of Islamic insurance is influenced by attitude and subjective norms. Technically, either directly or indirectly, attitude variables affect the behavior through intention (sig. 0,000) or subjective norms variable affect to behavior through intention (Sig. 0,003
