“…This is an impressive finding, since the stress of using a less proficient language could have diminished the cognitive resources needed for deliberative reasoning, thus pushing people to make gut, instinctive, or emotional responses. Note that framing effects are reduced or eliminated when problems are depicted using graphical aids, confirming the role of language (Garcia-Retamero & Cokely, 2013). Similar findings were obtained using a loss-aversion paradigm.…”

cdps.sagepub.com "If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart." This quote from Nelson Mandela concerns negotiating and the importance of foreign-language learning, but it is also about how hearing or using our native language may influence us emotionally more than would hearing or using a foreign language. Applied linguists began exploring this topic in the late 1990s by integrating self-report data with the growing experimental literature, resulting in several book-length treatments (Dewaele, 2010;Pavlenko, 2005). In the last decade, this topic has provided fertile ground for psychologists seeking a new perspective on the relationship between cognition and emotion, such as in the areas of decision making and moral reasoning (

“…Educational materials should include visuals aids (e.g., pie charts, icon arrays) and be targeted at appropriate reading levels for youth and parents of varied educational levels. Such an approach has been shown to make materials more accessible for individuals with low health literacy levels due to age, language, and limited medical knowledge [16]. For example, a systematic review of interventions for individuals with low health literacy found several effective design features to mitigate the effects of low health literacy such as including icon arrays to numerical information, adding video to verbal narrative, presenting information so that the higher number is better, and presenting important information first or by itself [17].…”

Research shows that vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is one of the most effective methods for reducing risk for cervical cancer; it also protects against other HPV-related cancers. Controversies exist regarding HPV vaccination in several communities; which may in part explain why although rates of HPV vaccination are increasing nationwide, Los Angeles County (LAC) data show that many adolescents are still not vaccinated. These adolescents remain at high-risk for infection. Using community-based participatory principles, we conducted an environmental scan that included a literature review, the development of a community advisory board, community feedback from HPV community meetings, and interviews with stakeholders to understand attitudes toward HPV vaccination and their impact in follow through with HPV vaccines. Twenty-eight key stakeholders participated in our coalition comprised of community organizations and clinics with strong ties to the local community. This is the only coalition dedicated exclusively to improving HPV vaccine uptake in LAC. Of these, twenty-one participated in an environmental scan via qualitative interviews about HPV vaccination programs, service delivery priorities, and proposed steps to increase HPV vaccination uptake in LAC. The environmental scan revealed targets for future efforts, barriers to HPV uptake, and next steps for improving local HPV vaccination uptake rates. The environmental scan also identified local HPV vaccination interventions and resources. Although LAC has developed important efforts for vaccination, some interventions are no longer being implemented due to lack of funds; others have not been evaluated with sufficient outcome data. The risk for cervical and other HPV-related cancers could be greatly reduced in LAC if a multilevel, multicultural, and multilingual approach is taken to better understand rates of HPV vaccination uptake, particularly among racial/ethnic minorities and LGBTQ youth. Our environmental scan provides guidance on attitudes toward vaccination, and how best to address the needs of LAC families and providers.

“…Particularly, many studies have examined the effects of visual aids (for reviews, see Ancker et al, 2006;Garcia-Retamero and Cokely, 2013;Garcia-Retamero et al, 2012;Lipkus, 2007;Lipkus and Hollands, 1999). These studies have shown that although people are not generally good at understanding probability information, their understanding is improved with visual aids.…”
