It has been suggested that gain-framed messages are more effective than loss-framed messages in promoting low-risk health behaviors such as physical activity. Because of a heightened health concern and possible medical complications, older adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) may consider physical activity to be risky. This study examined whether a reverse message-framing effect would be found among older adults with T2D. The participants included 211 sedentary and older adults with T2D recruited from an outpatient clinic. The participants were randomly assigned to receive either gain-framed or loss-framed messages and wore an accelerometer to monitor their physical activity for 2 weeks. The participants who received loss-framed messages were more physically active than those who received gain-framed messages (β = 0.13, p = .033). This loss-frame advantage might be attributable to the heightened perceived risks among older outpatients with T2D and the temporarily activated prevention-focused orientation in a clinical setting.
有人认为，在促进身体活动等低风险健康行为方面，增益框架信息比损失框架信息更有效。由于对健康的高度关注和可能的医疗并发症，患有 2 型糖尿病 (T2D) 的老年人可能认为身体活动有风险。本研究检验了在患有 T2D 的老年人中是否会发现相反的信息框架效应。参与者包括从门诊诊所招募的 211 名久坐不动和患有 T2D 的老年人。参与者被随机分配接受增益框架或损失框架信息，并佩戴加速度计监测他们的身体活动 2 周。接受损失框架信息的参与者比接受增益框架信息的参与者更活跃（β=0.13，p=0.033）。这种损失框架优势可能归因于 T2D 老年门诊患者的感知风险增加，以及在临床环境中暂时激活的以预防为重点的定向。
