“…In patient-centered care, health care providers (HCPs) focus on patients’ emotional, psychological, and medical needs. If decision-making is an extension of patient identity, HCP awareness of and communication accommodation toward the ways in which patients relate their identity to CT cancer treatments could enhance patient-centered communication (Hajek, Villagran, & Wittenberg-Lyles, 2007). By examining patients’ perceived illness identity within the personal, relational, and communal identity frames, HCPs could better understand how to legitimize patients’ perspectives of their cancer while also tailoring their CT offer to what cancer uniquely means to individuals.…”

Patient Perceptions of Illness Identity in Cancer Clinical Trial Decision-Making

When patients are diagnosed with cancer, they begin to negotiate their illness identity in relation to their past and future selves, their relationships, and their group memberships. Thus, how patients view their cancer in relation to their other identities may affect how and why they make particular decisions about treatment options. Using the Communication Theory of Identity (CTI), the current study explores: (1) how and why illness identity is framed across identity layers in relation to one particular cancer treatment: participation in a cancer clinical trial (CT); and (2) how and why patients experience identity conflicts while making their treatment decisions. Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were analyzed for 46 cancer patients who were offered a CT. Results of a grounded theory analysis indicated that patients expressed separate identity frames (e.g., personal, relational, and communal), aligned identity frames (e.g., personal and communal), and identity conflicts (e.g., personal-personal). This study theoretically shows how and why patient illness identity relates to cancer treatment decision-making as well as how and why patients relate (and conflict) with the cancer communal identity frame. Practical implications include how healthcare providers and family members can support patient decision-making through awareness of and accommodating to identity shifts.

“…To measure attitudes, participants completed an adapted form of the Attitudes Toward Provider scale (ATP; Hajek, Villagran, & Wittenberg-Lyles, 2007), which consisted of six items measured on a 5-point Likert type scale. The ATP focused on perceived respectfulness of the provider and perceived quality of provider explanations (two questions), the extent to which they perceived the provider to be similar or different from other providers (one question), and their inclinations to comply with provider recommendations (three questions).…”

The present study surveyed international and domestic U.S. students about their perceptions of university health care providers’ cultural competence, their own attitudes toward university health center providers, and overall satisfaction with university health center providers. Results demonstrated generally positive attitudes and satisfaction, but more negative perceptions of provider cultural competence were identified especially when students perceived problems with providers’ language competence and interest in learning about patients’ backgrounds. International students reported more positive attitudes concerning providers’ cultural competence than U.S. students. Implications of the findings are discussed, along with limitations of the study and suggestions for future research.

“…Although researchers have emphasized the importance of group salience and typicality (e.g., Brown & Hewstone, 2005), the differentiation of and the relationship between these two constructs have not been explicitly addressed in the literature. Some researchers consider typicality as a key dimension of group salience and have manipulated salience through the typicality of the out-group member (e.g., Brown, Vivian, & Hewstone, 1999; Hajek et al, 2007). This approach greatly contributes to the literature by revealing the close relationship between group salience and interlocutor typicality.…”

“…Other than conversation topics and the gender of both communicators, the typicality (i.e., perceived as representative of his or her social group) of the conversation partner can also activate identity-consistent communicative behavior (see Harwood & Joyce, 2012). Indeed, some researchers regard typicality as a key dimension of group salience (e.g., Hajek, Villagran, & Wittenberg-Lyles, 2007). However, researchers have not examined how these two factors-conversation topics and interlocutor typicality-activate gender-consistent behavior both independently and in tandem.…”

Reexamining the Use of Tentative Language in Emails: The Effects of Gender Salience and Gender Typicality

Drawing on self-categorization theory, the current study examines the effects of gender salience and interlocutor gender typicality on men and women's use of tentative language in emails. We conducted an experiment manipulating identity salience using gender-stereotypic conversation topics, and typicality using biographies of the fictitious female interlocutor. The results were consistent with self-categorization theory and previous research on gender-based language use: Men were more tentative when discussing a conversation topic in which their gender group was not considered experts. More importantly, interlocutor gender typicality influenced participants' tentative language, such that when the interlocutor was a typical woman, men and women became more tentative discussing a conversation topic in which they were not considered experts. This study has implications for future research on the contextual factors that may influence the use of language in both intragroup and intergroup communication.
