In order to combat fraudulent health claims, MacFarlane, Hurlstone, and Ecker (2020) have proposed a taxonomy intended to establish factors that increase susceptibility to such messages. We expand upon the work of MacFarlane and colleagues by highlighting the role of emotions in attitude change, and elaborate upon how emotions may increase susceptibility to fraudulent health messaging. We assert that to produce lasting and persistent attitude change, emotion needs to be incorporated into health care fraud interventions, as well as factual information. We concur with MacFarlane and colleagues that fraudulent health claims are a pressing issue with deleterious consequences, and supplement their work by enumerating the importance of emotion in promoting attitude and behavior change.
为了打击虚假健康声明，MacFarlane、Hurlstone 和 Ecker（2020）提出了一个分类法，旨在确定增加对这些信息易感性的因素。我们通过强调情绪在态度改变中的作用，并详细说明情绪如何增加对欺诈性健康信息的易感性，对 MacFarlane 及其同事的工作进行了扩展。我们断言，为了产生持久和持续的态度改变，需要将情感融入医疗保健欺诈干预措施以及事实信息中。我们同意 MacFarlane 及其同事的观点，即虚假健康声明是一个具有破坏性后果的紧迫问题，并通过列举情绪在促进态度和行为改变方面的重要性来补充他们的工作。
