Explaining the Effects of Anticipated Regret

Messages on Young Women’s Intention to Consume

Folic Acid: A Moderated-Mediation Model

This study tests a moderated-mediation model to explain the joint effects of consideration

of future consequences and exposure to health messages containing an

anticipated regret component on behavioral intention to consume folic acid. In an

online survey-experiment conducted in March 2011, 245 women 18–35 years of age

were randomized to 1 of 3 conditions (exposure to attitude-only message/exposure to

attitude-plus-anticipated-regret message/no message exposure) in a between-participants

design. Results showed a positive joint effect of consideration of future consequences

and exposure to an attitude-plus-anticipated-regret message on anticipated

regret (B = 0.89, SE = 0.41, p < .05). Among women high in consideration of future

consequences, exposure to an attitude-plus-anticipated-regret message increased

anticipated regret. Likewise, another positive joint effect of consideration of future

consequences and anticipated regret on behavioral intention was observed (B = 0.28,

SE = 0.12, p < .05). Anticipated regret was positively related to intention among

women high in consideration of future consequences. Implications are discussed.

state of the art in stigma

3 sources of super stigma readings

1. Basic and Applied Social Psychology, 2013, volume 35, issue 1 entirely devoted to stigma.

2. In our field, see Communication Studies, 2014, volume 65, #2.  The entire issue is devoted to stigma.

3.  Xun Zhu says:  “I am SUPER SUPER excited about the special issue in SS&M on structural power, stigma, and health. It discusses issues on what I attempted to explore in the thesis. I have shared the link here. Please enjoy~~~ -:)” Pls cut and paste this link to Social Science & Medicine in your browser.
