韩裔美国人是美国增长最快的亚裔人口之一。尽管全国范围内的发病率大幅下降，但宫颈癌仍然是韩裔美国妇女的主要威胁。通过预防已知导致宫颈癌的人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）菌株，HPV疫苗似乎是一种有希望的解决方案，不仅可以减少韩裔美国人，而且还可以减少其他种族和少数民族之间宫颈癌的持续差异。然而，目前的文献缺乏更好地了解文化和行为因素如何影响韩裔美国妇女的意图，他们的青春期女儿接种HPV疫苗。本文介绍了测试的机制，通过相互依赖的自我conciliation（自我的取向，其中个人定义自己主要是通过他们与他人的关系），态度和主观规范的结果影响韩裔美国母亲的意图接种疫苗的女儿。我们的研究结果表明，自我认知为健康传播研究带来了希望，不仅可以揭示具有共同文化血统的个体之间健康相关信念的丰富差异，还可以了解这些信念所嵌入的背景。
Korean Americans represent one of the fastest growing Asian subpopulations in the United States. Despite a dramatic reduction in incidence nationwide, cervical cancer remains a major threat for Korean American women. By preventing the strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) known to cause cervical cancer, the HPV vaccines appear to be a promising solution to reduce the persistent disparities in cervical cancer among not only Korean Americans, but also other racial and ethnic minorities more generally. However, current literature lacks a better understanding of how cultural and behavioral factors influence Korean American women’s intention to vaccinate their adolescent daughters against HPV. This article presents the results of testing the mechanisms through which interdependent self-construal (an orientation of self in which individuals define themselves primarily through their relationships with others), attitudes, and subjective norms affect Korean American mothers’ intention to vaccinate their daughters. Our findings suggest that self-construal holds promise for health communication research to not only uncover the rich variance of health-related beliefs among individuals of shared cultural descent, but also to understand the context in which these beliefs are embedded.
