研究表明，个人对各种疾病具有多方面的认知表现。这些疾病表征包括各种信念，包括疾病的因果归因，并被认为是激励，指导和塑造健康相关的行为。由于很少有研究探讨了与癌症因果关系的信念相关的因素，本研究探讨了个人和家族癌症史与恶性疾病的原因和预防信念之间的关系。数据来自2003年健康信息全国趋势调查（HINTS）的6369名成年受访者。获得了关于癌症的个人和家族史以及关于癌症病因和预防的信念的信息。结果显示，个人和家族癌症史与对癌症原因的信念差异有关。一般来说，相对于那些没有个人病史的人，个人癌症史与癌症的因果归因没有显着联系。相比之下，癌症家族史倾向于增加受访者将特定原因视为增加癌症风险的可能性。因此，个人和替代经验的癌症有显着不同的影响归因的癌症的原因，这可能是由于不同的自我保护的动机。结果支持的信念，疾病陈述，在这种情况下的因果信念组件，是受个人和替代经验的疾病，也表明疾病陈述可能会影响接受的信息和干预措施，旨在增加适当的癌症风险降低行为。
Research suggests individuals possess multifaceted cognitive representations of various diseases. These illness representations consist of various beliefs, including causal attributions for the disease, and are believed to motivate, guide, and shape health-related behavior. As little research has examined factors associated with beliefs about cancer causation, the present study examined the relationship between personal and family history of cancer and beliefs about the causes and prevention of malignant disease. Data was obtained from 6369 adult respondents to the 2003 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS), a national population-based survey. Information about personal and family history of cancer and beliefs regarding cancer causation and prevention was obtained. Results showed both a personal and family history of cancer were associated with differences in beliefs about the causes of cancer. In general, a personal history of cancer was not significantly linked to causal attributions for cancer relative to those without a personal history. In contrast, a family history of cancer tended to increase the likelihood a respondent viewed a particular cause as increasing cancer risk. Thus, personal and vicarious experience with cancer had dramatically diverging influences on attributions of cancer causation, which may be due to differing self-protection motives. Results support the belief that illness representations, in this case the causal belief component, are influenced by both personal and vicarious experience with a disease and also suggest illness representations may influence receptivity to messages and interventions designed to increase appropriate cancer risk reduction behavior.
