Abstract

The effect of response cost information, message framing and past behaviour on women’s coping appraisal and motivation to be vaccinated against the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) were investigated using a 2 Frame × 2 Response Cost × 2 Pap Status design. Women (N = 286) read one of four messages about the vaccine. Women who received high-risk information perceived the vaccine as having higher response cost and were less motivated to be vaccinated compared to women who received low-risk information. The deleterious effects of risk information on specific aspects of women’s coping appraisal may be mitigated by appropriately framed messages. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
