“…First, this study explored the use of the RPA framework for studying safety behaviors during CHP use. The RPA framework has been applied mainly to phenomena directly related to disease prevention, with the exception of a few studies [59,70]. The applicability of RPA to reading and compliance with risk information was confirmed in this study and suggested that this framework could be a valuable public segmentation tool to prevent injury associated with CHP use.…”

“…This result suggests that efficacy belief not only has a moderating effect on risk perception but is also the primary influence on the two safety behaviors. Some prior studies also found that efficacy belief has a primary effect [53,55,69,70]. Therefore, when developing policy, attention must be devoted to including aspects that encourage and persuade these groups to perform safety behaviors, and risk communication efforts are necessary to convey messages that enhance efficacy beliefs.…”

Safety Behaviors to Reduce Risk of Using Chemical Household Products: An Application of the Risk Perception Attitude Framework

Various chemical household products (CHPs) can make life more convenient; however, CHP users have higher rates of chemical exposure and are faced with the risk of accidents associated with using these products. Safe use of CHPs requires that individuals perform safety-related behaviors such as reading and following CHP risk information. As such, it may be worthwhile to apply the Risk Recognition Attitude (RPA) framework to classify groups of CHP users and investigate whether there is a difference in the safety behaviors between them. Therefore, the objectives of this study are to (a) examine social determinants of each group in the RPA framework, (b) identify different policies that would be effective for each group, and (c) provide evidence to inform the development of effective policies and risk communication strategies that encourage safety behaviors. The study included 1537 subjects and used an ANOVA with a post-hoc Tukey test to examine practices of the four groups in terms of two safety behaviors. A multinomial logistic regression was performed to identify factors that influence the classification of the group types. The results confirmed that safety behaviors associated with using CHPs differed according to weak levels of efficacy beliefs. Two groups of particular concern for low rates of safety behaviors were those with lower education and income levels. Recommendations include (a) customized safety policies and risk communications based on RPA characteristics, (b) distinctive messaging for different groups, (c) policy support for vulnerable populations, and (d) implementing ‘user-centered’ rather than ‘substance-centered’ policies and communications for the public.

“…Generally, people tend to change their behaviors, including specific preventive actions, when they perceive threat, risk, or experiencing fears (Jaspal et al, 2020). The positive link between risk perception and health-related behaviors has been well established in previous literature that examined sun safety behavior (Nabi and Myrick, 2019), foot safety behavior (Nam, 2019), and cancer prevention (Shi and Smith, 2016;Yoo et al, 2020). Risk perception has also been reported as a major predictor of MERS preventive behaviors (Oh et al, 2020) and H1N1 precautionary actions (Lin et al, 2014).…”

The study explored how traditional and social media use produced various cognitive responses toward COVID-19, including perceived severity, susceptibility, and efficacy, and direct and indirect facilitation of COVID-19 preventive behaviors. We tested the hypotheses on data collected from 433 university students in Wuhan, China, using structural equation modeling. We found that traditional media enhanced engagement for preventive behaviors both directly and indirectly by enhancing perceived severity and efficacy, whereas social media showed no impact on preventive behaviors, either directly or indirectly. Furthermore, the direct effect of traditional media on preventive behaviors was markedly stronger than the indirect effect through perceptions.

“…Food safety behavior can be defined as "the action taken by individuals to protect themselves and others from unsafe food or services" [13][14][15]. According to De Boeck et al's [34] definition and measurement of food safety behavior, this behavior has two aspects.…”

“…The above food safety behavior reflects the dual attributes of food safety, that is, the personal attribute of paying attention to one's own interests and the public attribute of serving others [13][14][15]. To our knowledge, previous literature has adopted different defense mechanisms to explain specific behaviors [16][17][18], but no research has explored the 2 of 15 impact of mortality salience on behaviors with different attributes.…”

During the pandemic, the mortality salience of COVID-19 has affected everyone. The public is extremely sensitive to food safety, especially cold chain food and imported food. This research is based on the terror management theory, protective motivation theory, and self-construal theory. It proposes an integrated dual-path framework to explore the different mechanisms that mortality salience has on food safety behavior. The result of three experiments verified our conjectures. First, mortality salience positively affects individuals' food safety behavior. More importantly, we found the dual-path mechanism that underlies the effect, that is, the mediating of self-protective motivation and prosocial motivation. In addition, different self-construals make the confirmed effect clear. These findings provide implications for the government to protect public food safety and health.
