摘要
目的探讨因果语言在酒精与癌症风险警示信息中的作用。方法在2023年进行的一项在线析因实验中，799名美国成年人被随机分配观看八条信息中的一条，这些信息使用因果动词（如“cause”）和情态动词（如“may”）的不同组合来描述酒精与癌症的关系。分析比较了因果语言对因果确定性、酒精相关癌症风险、信息可信度、信息抗拒和酒精消费意图的影响。结果因果性语言不影响感知的因果确定性、感知的癌症风险或饮酒意图，但降低了感知信息的可信度，增加了抗拒性。模态语言降低了感知的因果确定性和癌症风险，增加了包含“原因”的信息的感知可信度，并减少了对所有信息的抗拒。结论：酒精警告信息中的因果性语言具有复杂的抵消效应：高确定性因果动词不会增加风险感知，但会增加负面抵制，而高不确定性情态动词会降低风险感知，但也会降低抵制。这些结果表明，因果语言可能会对风险沟通工作造成潜在的权衡，因此需要谨慎行事，并进行更多的研究以了解其影响。本文章由计算机程序翻译，如有差异，请以英文原文为准。
Warning label messages about the cancer risk associated with alcohol: Effects of causal language
Objectives
To investigate the effects of causal language in warning messages about alcohol and cancer risk.
Methods
In an online factorial experiment conducted in 2023, 799 US adults were randomly assigned to view one of eight messages employing different combinations of causal verbs (e.g., “causes”) and modal verbs (e.g., “may”) to describe the alcohol-cancer relationship. Analyses compared the effects of causal language on perceptions of causal certainty, alcohol-related cancer risk, message credibility, message reactance, and alcohol consumption intentions.
Results
Causal language did not affect perceived causal certainty, perceived cancer risk, or alcohol consumption intentions, but decreased perceived message credibility and increased reactance. Modal language decreased perceived causal certainty and cancer risk, increased perceived credibility of messages containing “causes,” and decreased reactance to all messages.
Conclusions
Causal language in alcohol warning messages has complex, countervailing effects: higher-certainty causal verbs do not increase risk perceptions but increase negative reactance, whereas higher-uncertainty modal verbs decrease risk perceptions but also reactance. These results suggest causal language may pose potential tradeoffs for risk communication efforts, raising the need for caution and more research to understand its effects.

期刊介绍：
Addictive Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality human research on addictive behaviors and disorders since 1975. The journal accepts submissions of full-length papers and short communications on substance-related addictions such as the abuse of alcohol, drugs and nicotine, and behavioral addictions involving gambling and technology. We primarily publish behavioral and psychosocial research but our articles span the fields of psychology, sociology, psychiatry, epidemiology, social policy, medicine, pharmacology and neuroscience. While theoretical orientations are diverse, the emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. However, innovative and empirically oriented case studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry are accepted as well. Studies that clearly contribute to current knowledge of etiology, prevention, social policy or treatment are given priority. Scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are encouraged. We especially welcome multimedia papers that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings.
Studies can also be submitted to Addictive Behaviors? companion title, the open access journal Addictive Behaviors Reports, which has a particular interest in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically-oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research.
