Self-affirmation has shown promise in promoting pro-health attitudes following exposure to threatening health messages by reducing defensive processing of such messages. We examine the impact of self-affirmation prior to viewing graphic cigarette warning labels on implicit and explicit attitudes toward smoking in a sample of African American smokers ( = 151). Participants held negative explicit and implicit attitudes toward smoking. We found no direct effect of self-affirmation on either implicit or explicit attitudes. Self-affirmation and risk level did not interact to predict either attitude type. We discuss findings in terms of self-affirmation theory, attitude measurement, and the meta-cognitive model of attitude change.
自我肯定已显示出有望通过减少对威胁性健康信息的防御性处理，来促进在接触此类信息后形成有利于健康的态度。我们在一个非裔美国吸烟者样本（n = 151）中，研究了在观看香烟警示图片之前进行自我肯定，对吸烟的内隐和外显态度的影响。参与者对吸烟持有负面的外显和内隐态度。我们发现自我肯定对无论是内隐还是外显态度都没有直接影响。自我肯定和风险水平之间没有相互作用来预测任何一种态度类型。我们从自我肯定理论、态度测量以及态度改变的元认知模型方面讨论了研究结果。
