背景：健康信念对人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗可接受性的影响在过去的研究中已被广泛记录。然而，缺乏记录先前研究结果对文化多样性参与者的普遍性的研究。不同种族间宫颈癌发病率的巨大差异强调了普遍性研究的重要性。此外，文化心理学的理论表明，来自个人期望的信念可能不是在集体主义文化中社会化的个人的意图的最强预测因素。本研究的目的是调查最强的预测因子的母亲的意图接种疫苗的女儿在三个文化组：西班牙裔，非西班牙裔白色，和AfricanAmerican.Methods：一百五十名母亲被招募从公共卫生部诊所在密尔沃基，威斯康星州。母亲被要求回答措施，评估个人和规范的预测intentions.Results：结果表明，疫苗接种意图的预测不同的跨文化。具体而言，文化缓和的影响规范的intentions.Conclusions：干预措施，为西班牙裔美国人设计的规范，而不是态度，有针对性的，可能会更有效。
Background: The influence of health beliefs on human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine acceptability have been extensively documented in past research. However, studies documenting the generalizability of prior findings to culturally diverse participants are lacking. The importance of generalizability studies is underscored by the immense disparities in cervical cancer rates across ethnicities. Moreover, theory in cultural psychology suggests that beliefs derived from personal expectations may not be the strongest predictors of intentions in individuals socialized in collectivist cultures. The purpose of this research was to investigate the strongest predictors of mothers' intentions to vaccinate their daughters across three cultural groups: Hispanic, non-Hispanic white, and African American.Methods: One hundred fifty mothers were recruited from Public Health Department clinics in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Mothers were asked to answer measures that assessed personal and normative predictors of intentions.Results: Results indicated that predictors of vaccination intentions varied cross-culturally. Specifically, culture moderated the influence of norms on intentions.Conclusions: Interventions designed for Hispanics may be more effective if norms, rather than attitudes, are targeted.
