研究人员以参加自愿妇女团体会议的中上阶层女性为样本，研究了与女性乳房自检（BSE）实践相关的因素。发现与 BSE 实践频率直接相关的因素是 BSE 的高感知益处、BSE 的低感知障碍和高度自我概念。与乳腺癌的感知易感性/严重性、年龄、感知的社会支持水平和社交网络属性的相关性并不显着。以 BSE 频率作为标准变量进行多元回归分析；感知威胁（敏感性/严重性）和感知利益减去感知障碍按等级输入；年龄、自我概念和总体社会支持作为一个整体输入。感知收益减去障碍是唯一显着的预测变量，R2 = 0.27。这些发现强调了评估疯牛病等侦探行为与预防行为可能不同的重要性。
Factors related to women's practice of breast self-examination (BSE) were studied in a sample of upper-middle-class women attending meetings of voluntary women's groups. Factors found to relate directly to frequency of BSE practice were high perceived benefits of BSE, low perceived barriers to BSE, and high self-concept. Correlations with perceived susceptibility/seriousness of breast cancer, age, perceived level of social support, and social network properties were not significant. A multiple regression analysis was done with BSE frequency as criterion variable; perceived threat (susceptibility/seriousness) and perceived benefits minus perceived barriers were entered hierarchically; age, self-concept, and total social support were entered as a group. Perceived benefits minus barriers was the only significant predictor variable, R2 = .27. These findings underline the importance of assessing detective behaviors such as BSE as potentially different from preventive behaviors.
