Linking environmental risks and cancer risks within the framework of genetic-behavioural causal beliefs, cancer fatalism, and macrosocial worry
In this study, we investigate the relationships among worries about environmental health risks, genetic and behavioural causal beliefs about cancer prevention, perceived cancer risk, and cancer fatalism based on the concepts of macrosocial worry and affect heuristic. Nationally representative data from the National Cancer Institute’s Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) 4 Cycle 2 dataset was employed. We conducted hierarchical multiple regression analyses by employing SPSS Macro for Probing Interactions in OLS and Logistic Regression. According to the results of this study, worry about environmental risks was positively and significantly associated with both genetic and behavioural causal beliefs. The more individuals worry about environmental risks, the less fatalistic beliefs they have. Behavioural causal beliefs negatively and significantly influenced cancer risk perceptions as well as cancer fatalism, moderating the associations between genetic causal beliefs, cancer risk perceptions, and cancer fatalism. Moreover, worry about environmental risks was found to be a mediator linking cancer causal beliefs and cancer fatalism. The results of moderation tests suggest socio-economic disparities exist in cancer and environmental risk perceptions as well as causal beliefs related to cancer.
期刊介绍:
Health Risk & Society is an international scholarly journal devoted to a theoretical and empirical understanding of the social processes which influence the ways in which health risks are taken, communicated, assessed and managed. Public awareness of risk is associated with the development of high profile media debates about specific risks. Although risk issues arise in a variety of areas, such as technological usage and the environment, they are particularly evident in health. Not only is health a major issue of personal and collective concern, but failure to effectively assess and manage risk is likely to result in health problems.
