Objectives.Contrary to lay theories, past work does not suggest robust age differences in wisdom-related knowledge across the adult life span. This study investigated a potential moderator of knowledge: The relevance given wisdom task.
This study tests the effects of environmental health risk messages on perceived risk, information needs and decisions to seek information, testing a reduced seeking processing model (R-RISP). Participants (N = 1,823) were randomized one three conditions (arsenic, bisphenol A [BPA] or volatile organic compounds [VOCs]) message (high threat, low threat no message); participants in high also randomly assigned cue action condition (with without cue). Overall, results support R-RISP model,...
The current study extends family communication patterns (FCP) research to assess how schemata (conversation and conformity orientation dimensions) influence systematic processing of health appeals intended persuade individuals seek history information, emphasizing an updated conceptualization (i.e., the expanded scale). Our results suggest that conversation dimension parental control are primary drivers messages. Systematic processing, in turn, was significantly associated with more positive...
Understanding the factors that make college students more likely to drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes is key developing effective interventions in order reduce these behaviors. This study sought understand entering students' intentions engage smoking drinking behavior by examining cognitive accessibility (ease of retrieval from memory) attitudes norms for drinking. A sample 413 first-year living on-campus residence halls participated first 2 weeks their semester college. Reaction time...
ABSTRACT Communicating complex information about environmental health risks in a single message is impossible. Thus, designers hope that risk messages encourage people to think more the and risks, look for information, ultimately make behavior changes. The presentation of using threat appeals common design strategy thought increase engagement influence attitudes, seeking, reduction behaviors. We compared lower messages, which did not include explicit statements susceptibility severity risk,...
Family communication patterns (FCP) are relational schema theorized to influence behaviors indirectly via cognitive processes, including perceived norms. However, relatively little is known about the indirect effect of FCP on health self-disclosure We examine FCP's associations with young adults' their parents, assessing theory normative social behavior and integrative model behavioral prediction. Young adults (N = 504) completed a cross-sectional survey. Mediation analysis showed...

Tool design features may heavily influence users' perceptions of tools.This study provides a summative evaluation HealthLink tool, which assesses cancer coronary heart disease risk based on personal family history, better understand how tool message content impact user perceptions.User observations semi-structured interviews...

We also demographic and individual factors associated with seeking-related perceived norms, attitudes, control.Methods Non-Hispanic White Black participants, aged 45 older, completed a cross sectional online survey (N = 383). Stepwise logistic multiple linear regression models were tested to assess study hypotheses, as well tests indirect effects.Results Perceived...
