Nearly 350 British respondents completed four questionnaires derived from Stainton Rogers [1], on the perceptions on health and recovery from illness. They were also asked to provide a number of demographic details (sex, age, education, voting pattern) and their experience of alternative medicine. Each of the questionnaires was factor analysed to show the underlying structure. The demographic, psychographic and individual difference belief variables were then regressed on to each factor derived from each questionnaire. Religious and political beliefs, as well as attitudes to alternative medicine, were the most consistent and powerful predictors of the health-related beliefs. These results are discussed in terms of the emerging literature on health beliefs.
近350名英国受访者完成了源自斯坦顿·罗杰斯[1]的四份关于健康观念和疾病康复观念的问卷。他们还被要求提供一些人口统计学细节（性别、年龄、教育程度、投票模式）以及他们使用替代医学的经历。对每份问卷进行了因子分析以显示其潜在结构。然后将人口统计学、心理统计学和个体差异信念变量回归到每份问卷得出的每个因子上。宗教和政治信仰以及对替代医学的态度，是与健康相关信念最一致且最有力的预测因素。将根据关于健康信念的新文献对这些结果进行讨论。
