“…In the studies retrieved in this review, there appears to be a lack of homogeneity in the items used to compare the assessment of attitudes on the main preventable cancer risk factors. Nevertheless, Shi et al [54] used a 10-item version of the ABC questionnaire that ultimately resembles the CAM questionnaire. Furthermore, while they are not responsible for the most attributable fraction, some of the main preventable cancer risk factors were not sufficiently included in the surveys in the studies, such as infections, occupational exposures, and ionizing radiation.…”

The risks of developing cancer are significantly affected by our lifestyle and environment. While there are several uncontrollable risk factors, we can modify our lifestyle and our environment to reduce the increased threat of cancer. This systematic review aims to evaluate the methodological assessment used to evaluate attitudes about cancer risk factors among the general population. Two researchers independently screened the articles for inclusion and Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklists were used to assess the methodology of the included studies. Thirty-one manuscripts met the inclusion criteria with a majority of them focusing on attitudes to several cancer risk factors and six on specific cancer location risk factors. This systematic review highlights the diversity of notions used around attitudes and methods used in the method of administering the survey, as well as the format of the questions and the response scales. It is thus difficult to compare data between different countries. However, cancer is a global problem. Harmonizing methods could allow a comparison of data between countries. Recommendations to this effect are suggested.

“…Supporting comments can also be a salient endorsement heuristic. The endorsement indicated by supporting comments is a part of an aggregated valence of comments, operationalizing the opinion climate surrounding the message ( Shi et al, 2022 ). It is reported that there is a consistency between the overall valence of opinions expressed in existing comments and people’s attitudes to the message ( Hsueh et al, 2015 ; Sung and Lee, 2015 ).…”

Fostering mask-wearing with virality metrics and social media literacy: evidence from the U.S. and Korea

et al. 2023

Although social media can pose threats to the public health by spreading misinformation and causing confusion, they can also provide wider access to health information and opportunities for health surveillance. The current study investigates the ways in which preventive health behaviors and norms can be promoted on social media by analyzing data from surveys and experiments conducted in the U.S. and South Korea. Survey results suggest that the pathway from social media use for COVID-19 information to mask-wearing behavior through mask-wearing norms emerges only among individuals with strong perceived social media literacy in the U.S. Experimental findings show that wear-a-mask campaign posts on social media foster mask-wearing norms and behavioral intention when they come with large (vs. small) virality metrics (e.g., Likes, shares) in both the U.S. and South Korea. Additionally, American users are more willing to engage with posts that come with supportive (vs. mixed) comments by Liking, sharing and commenting. The results highlight the need to cultivate social media literacy and opportunities for exploiting social media virality metrics for promoting public health norms and behaviors.

“…Commenting is regarded as a deeper level of engagement ( Cho et al, 2018 ). Comments not only show audiences’ reactions to the video but also form an overall opinion climate on social media and have the ability to sway users’ prior attitudes ( Shi et al, 2021 ). This suggests that the way people respond to the content could shape the views of other people and thus should be investigated ( Sung and Lee, 2015 ).…”

TikTok has been one of the most important social media platforms where pandemic-related information converged and has been disseminated. However, how vaccination-related visual content, particularly pro-vaccine videos, influences audiences remains unclear. Using Betsch et al.’s 5C model and Ekman’s basic emotion model, we identified 200 trending videos under the hashtag #vaccine on TikTok, and examined the types of vaccine-related beliefs and emotions expressed in videos and the relationship between beliefs, emotions, and supportive comments. Confidence and joy were the most frequently expressed belief and emotion, respectively; confidence (B = 14.84, P < 0.05), surprise (B = 11.29, P < 0.05), and sadness (B = 37.49, P < 0.01) predicted the number of supportive comments. This study expands the 5C framework of vaccine hesitancy into the analysis of pro-vaccine content on social media and offers detailed insights into the specific type of beliefs and emotions and their effects. Practical implications regarding how to address vaccine hesitancy are discussed.
