This study investigated cognitive predictors of tanning salon use, based on Jaccard's Theory of Alternative Behavior. A total of 164 undergraduates completed questionnaires that assessed tanning salon use, attitudes toward tanning salon use and attitudes toward behavioral alternatives for enhancing appearance, relaxing and socializing. Results indicated that attitudes toward alternatives for enhancing appearance were not significantly related to tanning salon use. However, favorable attitudes toward engaging in a hobby to relax and going to the gym to socialize were inversely related to frequency of tanning salon use. Findings suggest that interventions for reducing skin cancer risk should focus not only on decreasing favorable attitudes toward tanning, but also on increasing favorable attitudes toward healthier alternatives to tanning salon use.
本研究基于雅卡尔的替代行为理论，调查了使用晒黑沙龙的认知预测因素。共有164名本科生完成了问卷调查，这些问卷评估了晒黑沙龙的使用情况、对使用晒黑沙龙的态度以及对改善外貌、放松和社交的行为替代方式的态度。结果表明，对改善外貌的替代方式的态度与晒黑沙龙的使用没有显著关系。然而，对通过培养爱好来放松以及去健身房社交持积极态度与晒黑沙龙的使用频率呈负相关。研究结果表明，降低皮肤癌风险的干预措施不仅应侧重于减少对晒黑的积极态度，还应侧重于增加对使用晒黑沙龙更健康替代方式的积极态度。
