An experimental test to reveal negative side-effects of high treatability information on preventative health behaviour.

Psychology & health - 1 Aug 2018

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: When the course of a disease can be positively changed by health professionals the disease can be indicated as 'highly treatable'. This 'high treatability information' (HTI) may have negative side-effects on people's preventative motivation. This study examined the effects of HTI regarding skin cancer on preventative motivation. DESIGN: This study employed a 2 (high treatability (HTI) versus low...
