Abstract

AbstractApplying the risk information seeking and processing (RISP) model, this study explores the antecedents to information seeking and information avoidance about a relatively novel risk – per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination. Based on an experimental survey, we found that current knowledge, informational subjective norms, and risk perception are positively related to information seeking and information avoidance. Perceived personal control is positively related to information avoidance, but not related to information seeking. Fear is positively related to information seeking, but sadness is not related to either seeking or avoidance. Lastly, information seeking and information avoidance are associated with preventive behaviors related to PFAS contamination in the opposite direction.Keywords: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)information seekinginformation avoidancepreventive behaviors Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 All collinearity diagnostics were satisfactory in the regression models.

关于全氟烷基和多氟烷基物质(PFAS)污染的信息寻求和信息回避:知识、个人控制还是影响?

摘要应用风险信息搜索与处理(RISP)模型，探讨了一种较为新颖的全氟和多氟烷基物质(PFAS)污染的信息搜索和信息回避的前因由。基于实验调查，我们发现当前知识、信息主观规范和风险感知与信息寻求和信息回避呈正相关。感知个人控制与信息回避正相关，与信息寻求不相关。恐惧与信息寻求呈正相关，但悲伤与信息寻求或回避均无关系。最后，信息寻求和信息回避与PFAS污染相关的预防行为呈相反方向相关。关键词:全氟烷基和多氟烷基物质(PFAS)信息搜寻信息回避预防行为披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。注1回归模型的共线性诊断均令人满意。
