The role of vicarious processes in the etiology of behavioral reactions to medical illness was examined in a preliminary investigation. Twenty-seven diabetics without chronically ill parents were assigned to an avoidant-model (i.e. parent reported to have generally avoided work and chores when ill) or non-avoidant-model group. Subjects subsequently provided retrospective and current information concerning their illness behavior experiences. Pathophysiology ratings by a blind rater and glycosylated hemoglobin measures were taken. The results indicated that diabetics with an avoidant model terminated work, chores etc. when ill significantly more than non-avoidant-model group subjects. Diabetics with an avoidant model reported significantly higher medical utilization rates, days ill and poorer quality of life. No group differences were observed on pathophysiology rating and glycosylated hemoglobin measures. The results suggest that individual differences in behavioral reactions to similar degree and type of medical pathology may be related to prior learning experiences such as modeling. The need for a reliable and valid assessment methodology to be used in future related research is emphasized.
