Surveys

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Barriers to Effective Communication II

Barriers to Effective Communication II

The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:
As a result of their tendency to use...

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Language and Cognition

Language and Cognition

Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Social Proof

Social proof is a form of persuasion based on comparison and conformity. People compare their behavior and actions to what others are doing and will change to conform to do what their peers do.

Longitudinal Research

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Summary

Smokers who frequently discuss health warning labels (HWLs) on cigarettes are more likely to attempt quitting. While Latinos discuss HWLs more often, this increased conversation frequency does not lead to higher quit attempt rates.

Area of Science:

Public Health
Health Communication
Tobacco Control

Background:

Conversations about health warning labels (HWLs) on cigarettes are linked to increased quit attempts.
Previous research indicates ethnic variations in the prevalence of these discussions.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the frequency of conversations about text-only HWLs among Latino and non-Latino white smokers.
To examine the relationship between HWL conversations and subsequent quit attempts.

Main Methods:

A longitudinal survey of 4403 Latino and non-Latino white adult smokers in the U.S. over two years.
Negative binomial and logistic generalized estimating equation (GEE) models were used to analyze conversation frequency and quit attempts.

Main Results:

Spanish-preference Latinos reported the highest HWL conversation frequency (85%), followed by English-preference Latinos (59%), and non-Latino Whites (35%).
More frequent HWL conversations were associated with a higher likelihood of subsequent quit attempts (AOR = 1.74).
Ethnicity did not moderate the effect of HWL conversations on quit attempts.

Conclusions:

Latinos engage in more frequent discussions about HWLs compared to non-Latino Whites.
Despite more frequent conversations, Latinos are not more likely to quit smoking as a result.
Public health campaigns should incorporate messaging that actively encourages conversations about smoking cessation.
