Effects of news about genetics and obesity on controllability attribution and helping behavior.

Health communication - 1 Jan 2007

Jeong Se-Hoon

Abstract excerpt

This study tested the effects of news stories that offer gene-based explanations of obesity compared to behavior-based and complex (combining genetic and behavioral) explanations on Korean undergraduate students. Controllability attribution and willingness to help obese people were expected as outcomes of the 3 different news types based on attribution theory. The study results indicate significant interactions...
