BACKGROUND
College students participate in high levels of tanning, a skin cancer risk behavior due to ultraviolet radiation exposure, yet little is known about Asian college students' behavior. This study examined the relationship between tanning attitudes, acculturation to the USA (cultural assimilation), and tanning behavior.
METHOD
An online survey was used to recruit 211 Asian college students in the northeastern USA (47.4% born outside of the USA) to respond to questions about recent tanning behavior, sun protection strategies, attitudes about tanning, and acculturation to the USA.
RESULTS
Attitudes about tanning, particularly desire for a darker skin tone and social norms, along with acculturation to the USA, were predictive of intentional tanning. The sample reported high levels of sun protection, which was associated with low acculturation.
CONCLUSION
The significant role of acculturation in this study indicates that it may be a useful factor to include in future tanning intervention studies of relevant populations.
背景
大学生会进行大量的日光浴，这是一种由于紫外线照射而导致的皮肤癌风险行为，但目前对亚洲大学生的这一行为知之甚少。本研究旨在探讨日光浴态度、对美国的文化适应（文化同化）与日光浴行为之间的关系。
方法
本研究采用在线调查的方式，在美国东北部招募了 211 名亚洲大学生（47.4%的人出生在美国以外的国家），要求他们回答最近的日光浴行为、防晒策略、日光浴态度和对美国的文化适应等问题。
结果
日光浴态度，尤其是对较深肤色的渴望和社会规范，以及对美国的文化适应，是有意日光浴的预测因素。该样本报告了高水平的防晒措施，这与较低的文化适应有关。
结论
本研究中文化适应的重要作用表明，在相关人群的未来日光浴干预研究中，它可能是一个有用的因素。
