Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: When a health problem is perceived as having a genetic cause, this appears to increase the perceived effectiveness of pharmacological treatments and reduce perceived effectiveness of non-pharmacological treatments. Potential mediators of this effect include causal attributions, perceived severity, and perceived control over the health problem. This study aimed to use experimental methods to establish...
