An experimental study exposed participants ( = 299) to different message frames to investigate whether Family Communication Patterns (FCP) and message characteristics influenced willingness to communicate about Family Health History (FHH). Message frames were either collective (our), individual (mine), or control (no pronouns). Afterward, participants were asked about their perceived collective psychological ownership of health information, attitudes, subjective norms, and FHH communication intentions. Although the message frames had no impact on perceived collective psychological ownership of health information, conversation orientation and conformity orientation (respecting parental authority) were positively associated with perceived collective psychological ownership of health information. Additionally, perceived collective psychological ownership, attitudes, and subjective norms were found to have indirect effects between FCP and FHH communication intentions. These findings provide further support that FCP influences how health message appeals are processed and suggest interventions could be tailored to FCP orientations for effective FHH behaviors.
一项实验研究让参与者（n = 299）接触不同的信息框架，以调查家庭沟通模式（FCP）和信息特征是否会影响关于家族健康史（FHH）的沟通意愿。信息框架要么是集体性的（我们的）、个体性的（我的），要么是控制性的（无代词）。之后，询问参与者对健康信息的感知集体心理所有权、态度、主观规范以及FHH沟通意图。尽管信息框架对健康信息的感知集体心理所有权没有影响，但对话导向和从众导向（尊重父母权威）与健康信息的感知集体心理所有权呈正相关。此外，发现感知集体心理所有权、态度和主观规范在FCP和FHH沟通意图之间具有间接影响。这些发现进一步支持了FCP会影响健康信息诉求的处理方式，并表明可以针对FCP导向制定干预措施，以实现有效的FHH行为。
