“…Demographic differences in implicit and explicit effectiveness beliefs were similar across the two studies, and effect sizes for differences were relatively small, consistent with other demographic differences that have been reported in the IAT literature (e.g., Werntz et al, 2016Werntz et al, , 2017. Thus, it remains unclear as to whether these differences would be meaningful in real-world settings, and results should be interpreted with caution.…”

One exploratory study (N = 10,335) and one preregistered replication and extension study (N = 6648) evaluated implicit and explicit beliefs in the effectiveness of psychotherapy versus medication, and whether these beliefs vary as a function of demographics, mental health difficulties, and treatment experiences. Data were collected from a sample of visitors to a mental health research website who completed the Therapy vs. Medication Effectiveness Implicit Association Test (IAT). The IAT demonstrated evidence of convergent validity with two measures of explicit therapy versus medication effectiveness beliefs. Across both studies, individuals held greater implicit and explicit beliefs that therapy is more effective than medication, and individuals who were Black (versus all other races, excluding "other/unknown") and who had experienced past (versus current) mental health difficulties had stronger implicit and explicit beliefs in the effectiveness of therapy versus medication. More work is needed to understand how these differences in beliefs arise, as well as to evaluate the clinical utility of this novel measure.

“…One potential reason for this could be a non-differentiation of sociodemographics including age, sex, education or specific social group. These aspects can affect risk perception within separate risk cultures (Angignard et al, 2014) and health assumptions as well as fits of health frameworks (McFadden et al, 2018;Werntz et al, 2017). Therefore, the model fit may improve with their separation (Woudstra et al, 2019).…”

“…Therefore, it may be beneficial to identify risk culture clusters within the broader risk culture population. In terms of this research, specific roles or parts such as clients or health care workers could be targeted (e.g., Rapisarda et al, 2020;de Vet et al, 2011), or risk groups and their relation to health associations could be considered, for example, by sociodemographics (McFadden et al, 2018;Werntz et al, 2017). Still, it is debatable when a person can be considered a full member of a culture.…”

The structure of the Risk Culture Framework: Evidence from a health context

Risk assessment and behavior of social entities, such as societies, organizations or groups, are shaped by shared values and beliefs. Such shared convictions on how risk is perceived and handled are widely labeled as risk culture. While risk culture is a promising approach for comprehensively considering risk aspects in social dynamics, its structure still lacks conceptual clarity. In this regard, the recently introduced Risk Culture Framework (RCF) was aimed at providing an operationalization foundation for risk culture research through a 3x3 grid representing different cultural levels and influencing domains. However, until now, the RCF has neither been empirically applied nor tested. In the current study, the structural fit of the model is evaluated using empirical data pertaining to health risks gathered by an exploratory questionnaire (N = 500). For the sake of methodological consistency, the cultural level of implicit factors was not considered due to its methodological specificity. Confirmatory factor analyses were used to analyze the fit of the assumed model structure as well as that of other applicable models. Model indices for the RCF-oriented risk culture model structure were acceptable and better than those for the other models tested. Overall, results support the theoretical-based structure of the RCF, and provide a foundation for further research on risk culture. Future approaches and applications of the RCF to more specific risk subjects are discussed.

Implicit health associations across the adult lifespan

Abstract: The health-IAT appears to be a valid and reliable new measure that assesses implicit self-concept relating to physical health. Results reveal the potential value of assessing implicit health self-concept in both research and practice, especially when taking into account age.
