过度的阳光照射与皮肤癌、皮肤过早衰老、干燥和皱纹有关,这主要发生在白种人身上。本文综述了有关白种人晒黑和防晒行为的心理学文献。本研究从以下几个方面进行了考察:研究方法;对晒黑和防晒的态度和规范信念;晒黑和防晒知识和行为随年龄和性别的差异;并试图改变与太阳有关的行为。研究的一致发现是,许多人对过度暴露在阳光下的危险和防晒的必要性有很高的认识,然而,这种认识往往没有转化为行为,许多人,特别是青少年,仍然渴望并积极寻求晒黑。讨论了这些发现对干预研究的意义。
Excessive sun exposure has been linked to skin cancer and to premature aging, drying and wrinkling of the skin, predominantly among Caucasians. This review examines the psychological literature on suntanning and sun protection behaviours among Caucasians. The research is examined in relation to: methods of study; attitude and normative beliefs towards suntanning and sun protection; differences in suntanning and sun protection knowledge and behaviour as a function of age and gender; and, attempts to change sun related behaviours. A consistent finding across studies is that many people show a high level of knowledge of the dangers of excessive sun exposure and the need for sun protection, however, this knowledge often does not transfer into behaviour, with many people, particularly adolescents, still desiring and actively seeking a suntan. The implications of these findings for intervention studies are discussed.
