Abstract

Objectives: One way to enhance the impact of smoking health risk messages may be to tailor their content to individual difference factors such as need for cognition (NFC). In this study, we examined how NFC influenced responses to different smoking risk messages. Outcomes included knowledge, risk perceptions, and behavioral expectations related to quitting smoking. Methods: We randomized 402 participants to one of 4 different risk message sets that were manipulated in terms of emotionality and framing in a 2x2 design: (1) factual gain-framed, (2) factual loss-framed, (3) emotional gain-framed, and (4) emotional loss-framed. Results: Statistically significant main effects emerged for NFC and emotionality. For certain risk perceptions, those with lower NFC reported greater perceived risk in response to emotional messages and lower risk in response to factual messages; those with higher NFC showed an opposite pattern. Similarly, those with lower NFC reported greater risk in response to gain-framed messages and lower risk in response to loss-framed messages; the opposite pattern emerged for those lower in NFC. Conclusions: Findings highlight the importance of an individual difference variable in influencing the impact of different types of smoking risk messages.

加强吸烟风险沟通:认知需求的影响。
目的:增强吸烟有害健康信息影响力的方法之一可能是根据个体差异因素(如认知需求(NFC))调整信息内容。在这项研究中,我们考察了 NFC 如何影响人们对不同吸烟风险信息的反应。研究结果包括与戒烟相关的知识、风险认知和行为预期。研究方法我们将 402 名参与者随机分配到 4 组不同的风险信息中的一组,这些信息在 2x2 设计中受到情绪化和框架的操纵:(1)事实性收益框架、(2)事实性损失框架、(3)情绪性收益框架和(4)情绪性损失框架。结果NFC 和情绪化的主效应具有统计学意义。在某些风险感知方面,NFC 较低的人对情感信息的感知风险较大,而对事实信息的感知风险较小;NFC 较高的人则表现出相反的模式。同样,NFC 较低的人对收益型信息的风险感知较大,而对损失型信息的风险感知较小;NFC 较低的人则表现出相反的模式。结论:研究结果凸显了个体差异变量在影响不同类型的吸烟风险信息影响方面的重要性。

期刊介绍: Journal of Geophysical Research (JGR) publishes original scientific research on the physical, chemical, and biological processes that contribute to the understanding of the Earth, Sun, and solar system and all of their environments and components. JGR is currently organized into seven disciplinary sections (Atmospheres, Biogeosciences, Earth Surface, Oceans, Planets, Solid Earth, Space Physics). Sections may be added or combined in response to changes in the science.
