Abstract excerpt

Genetic health messages are increasingly prevalent in our society. The materialist framework of laypeople's genetic knowledge may provide a good basis for understanding the effects of such messages on preventive behavior and related health cognitions. This study provides an empirical test of the predictions of this framework. We presented 929 participants who were aware or unaware of the existence of genetic risk...
