This study, inspired by the Risk Information Seeking and Processing (RISP) model, examines the mechanisms by which perceived hazard characteristics and the informational subjective norms of Chinese youth, aged from 14 to 44 years old, become associated with their intentions to seek cancer risk information online. A sample of 684 Chinese youths was collected from four cities in Mainland China with results revealing that perceived hazard characteristics and informational subjective norms motivate their online cancer risk information seeking intentions. Specifically, perceived probability, perceived severity, and institutional trust are positively related to negative affect, however the relationship between personal control and negative affect is not significant. Institutional trust and personal control are positively related to positive affect while perceived probability and perceived severity have no significant effect on positive affect. Negative affect and informational subjective norms are positively related to perceived information insufficiency, while the relationship between positive affect and perceived information insufficiency is not significant. Negative affect, positive affect, informational subjective norms, and perceived information insufficiency are all positively related to the online cancer risk information seeking intentions of Chinese youth.
本研究受风险信息寻求与处理（RISP）模型启发，考察了感知危害特征和中国 14 至 44 岁青年的信息主观规范如何与他们在线寻求癌症风险信息的意愿相关联。本研究从中国大陆的四个城市收集了 684 名中国青年的样本，结果表明，感知危害特征和信息主观规范激发了他们在线寻求癌症风险信息的意愿。具体而言，感知概率、感知严重程度和机构信任与负性情绪呈正相关，而个人控制与负性情绪之间的关系不显著。机构信任和个人控制与正性情绪呈正相关，而感知概率和感知严重程度对正性情绪没有显著影响。负性情绪和信息主观规范与感知信息不足呈正相关，而正性情绪与感知信息不足之间的关系不显著。负性情绪、正性情绪、信息主观规范和感知信息不足都与中国青年在线寻求癌症风险信息的意愿呈正相关。
