This study was designed to assess whether the influences of affect, utility, norm, and habit on intention to seek care promptly for a breast cancer symptom were conditional upon race. Ninety-six participants (68% Caucasian and 32% African American) in community settings completed measures of psychosocial, demographic, and clinical variables, and intention to seek care promptly for a breast lump. Controlling for education, financial coverage for health care, and family history of breast disease, the interactions of both utility and norm with race significantly explained intention. The positive influence of utility on intention was stronger among Caucasians than African Americans, but significant among both groups. The positive influence of social norm on intention was significant for Caucasians, but not for African Americans.
本研究旨在评估情感、效用、规范和习惯对因乳腺癌症状而及时就医意愿的影响是否因种族而异。社区环境中的96名参与者（68%为白种人，32%为非裔美国人）完成了心理社会、人口统计学和临床变量的测量，以及因乳房肿块而及时就医的意愿。在控制教育程度、医疗保健费用覆盖范围和乳腺癌家族史后，效用和规范与种族的交互作用显著解释了就医意愿。效用对就医意愿的积极影响在白种人中比非裔美国人更强，但在两组中均显著。社会规范对就医意愿的积极影响在白种人中显著，但在非裔美国人中不显著。
