ABSTRACT:

This project will build upon previous approved research (OMB No. 0925-0645 sub-study #6), which involved data collection to validate a novel risk perception questionnaire. The previous research involved validating a theoretical framework characterizing perceived risk of cancer (as compared to perceived risk of two other prominent diseases). Data collected from that study supported the theoretical framework, and provided empirical information about ways in which the scale could be refined to better capture risk perceptions. The current formative research builds on that data collection by refining the theoretical framework and measurement, as well as by preliminarily examining the predictive validity of a theory on the nature of cancer risk perceptions. The questionnaire is designed to assess three aspects of cancer risk perceptions (deliberative, affective and intuitive risk perception). As was done in the previously approved sub-study, an internet sample (N = 500), will be drawn from Amazon mTurk (https://requester.mturk.com/).
