“…Compared to other health communication fields, the communication tools used by plastic surgeons have not received sufficient attention from researchers, particularly in terms of content recommended by the ASPS for ethical practices (Miller, Brody & Chung, 2000). Advertising in certain fields of health communications, such as antismoking advertising (e.g., Paek, Yu, & Bae, 2009), diet advertising (e.g., Gross, 2006), and food advertising for children (e.g., Buijzen & Valkenburg, 2003), have been examined by researchers more often than advertising by plastic surgeons (Spilson et al, 2002). In addition, studies about consumer protection from irresponsible marketing messages have been conducted often in certain health fields (Byrd-Bredbenner, 2002; Cappella, Fishbein, Barrett & Zhao, 2005).…”

How Many Plastic Surgeons’ Websites Contain Information Recommended by the ASPS Advertising Code of Ethics?

Websites are rapidly replacing print media as the main medium for American plastic surgeons to advertise their practices to patients, as consumers, in the highly competitive market of plastic surgery. Plastic surgeons may believe exaggerating their advertising messages on their websites will help them compete. These practices also raise concern that their advertising messages may displace information patients, as consumers, need for clinically sound choices. Using the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) Advertising Code of Ethics ("Code") adopted in 2002, we reviewed websites maintained by plastic surgeons to learn whether these websites contained specific items recommended or suggested by the Code. Our preliminary work does not assess whether choosing not to post a given item makes a plastic surgeon more or less ethical in clinical practice. We tested for relationships between items listed with the Code such as specialty board certification, health plans honored or accepted, and practice limitations related to a specific area or field. Additional items queried included the city of practice, presence of a physician photo, practice specialty, and the presence of photo demonstrating a cosmetic effect. Our results show the majority of these websites contain very few of the ASPS recommended items. Moreover, we identified significant relationships between features of the websites and the items recommended for inclusion by the ASPS. We believe more studies are required to learn whether our findings have implications for ethical behavior and patient care.

“…However, it is possible to expect that the cultural meaning of celebrities or rescue workers, who possess valued characteristics, could serve as role models that might affect subjective norms, attitudes and intentions (de Mooij, 1998). The use of celebrities is more popular in collectivistic cultures because individuals in these societies are more willing to accept and adopt the cultural meaning that celebrities endorse and then transfer this meaning to commercial and social products (Paek, Yu, & Bae, 2009).…”

The present investigation used the transfer‐meaning model to assess the influence of rescue workers meaning after a major catastrophic event. Specifically, we examined the influence of rescue workers meaning on subjective norms and attitudes towards being voluntarily involved in civic activities and the influence of these on online and offline civic engagement intention. 300 Mexican undergraduate and graduate students completed a battery of questionnaires assessing meaning transfer, subjective norms, attitudes and behavioural intentions towards offline and online civic engagement. Results showed a significant positive effect of rescue workers meaning on subjective norms and attitude towards being voluntarily involved in civic activities. In addition, subjective norms and attitudes were significant antecedents of offline and online civic participation intention. The theoretical and managerial implications of our results were discussed.

“…Subjective norms refer to social norms, which stem from the theory of reasoned action (TRA) [36]; they regulate behaviour that should be performed or not be performed by considering perceived social pressure [37]. Paek et al [38] further describe subjective norms as an individual's belief that significant others affect whether or not the behaviour should be performed. Previous research studies have shown the significant impact of subjective norms on explaining individuals' pro-environmental intentions and purchasing behaviour [39][40][41].…”

Why Employees Contribute to Pro-Environmental Behaviour: The Role of Pluralistic Ignorance in Chinese Society

In light of the importance of sustainable development, this study aims to deepen and extend our understanding of employees’ pro-environmental behaviour in the workplace in a Chinese context. Drawing on the complex phenomenon of social norms theory concerning misperceptions (i.e., pluralistic ignorance) and supervisor–subordinate guanxi (which is a Chinese term signifying human connection), we present a novel model in which employees’ pro-environmental behaviour is the result of multiple social and individual psychological factors. Through the integration of previous literature from the fields of the psychology of individuals, social psychology, and environmental psychology, the major assumption is that the pro-environmental behaviour of employees is affected by their level of pluralistic ignorance, environmental concern, and subjective norms; these, in turn, are influenced by supervisor–subordinate guanxi and social identity in the collective spirit of Chinese society. Data, which were analysed empirically, were gathered from 548 Chinese employees from the Jiangsu province of China. This study consequently reveals the subtle interplay among employees’ pluralistic ignorance, supervisor–subordinate guanxi, social identity, subjective norms, environmental concern, and their pro-environmental behaviour, while the deeper analysis offers considerable support for environmental management research and practice.
