Previous research has demonstrated an inconsistent relationship between perceived susceptibility to skin cancer and indoor tanning. The current study explored potential moderators of this relationship to better understand how risk perceptions can impact indoor tanning intentions and behavior. A national online survey (N = 267) was administered in the United States to establish the relationship between perceived susceptibility to skin cancer, cancer fatalism, and external risk attribution beliefs on indoor tanning intentions and behavior. Results revealed significant 3-way interactions among these risk perceptions on both intentions and behavior that run contrary to much of the published research on perceived susceptibility and health behavior. These findings suggest that the relationship between perceived susceptibility to skin cancer and indoor tanning is conditional on other risk perceptions. These results are discussed in terms of their theoretical and practical implications.
先前的研究表明，对皮肤癌易感性的认知与室内晒黑之间的关系并不一致。当前的研究探讨了这种关系的潜在调节因素，以更好地理解风险认知如何影响室内晒黑的意图和行为。在美国进行了一项全国性在线调查（N = 267），以确定对皮肤癌易感性的认知、癌症宿命论和外部风险归因信念与室内晒黑意图和行为之间的关系。结果显示，这些风险认知在意图和行为方面存在显著的三向交互作用，这与许多已发表的关于易感性认知和健康行为的研究相悖。这些发现表明，对皮肤癌易感性的认知与室内晒黑之间的关系取决于其他风险认知。将根据其理论和实际意义对这些结果进行讨论。
