“…8 Injunctive norms refer to whether a behavior is approved by a particular group and are powerful motivators of behavior. 8 In our study, the majority of parents expected HCP to be vaccinated against influenza, suggesting this is an injunctive norm. The perceived prevalence and approval of protective health behaviors are often underestimated, leading to engagement in unhealthy behaviors.…”

“…A large body of evidence has demonstrated that the need to correct misperceptions is essential across a broad range of populations and health behaviours e.g. sun protection (Reid & Aiken, 2013), vaccinations (Nyhan & Reifler, 2015), breastfeeding (Reinsma et al, 2015) and obesity (Duncan et al, 2011). Consequently, identifying misperceptions and rectifying them through modern technology would appear to provide an opportunity to overcome barriers associated with more traditional modes of programme delivery.…”

As a service to our customers we are providing this early version of the manuscript. The manuscript will undergo copyediting, typesetting, and review of the resulting proof before it is published in its final form. Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain. Out of 3298 relevant citations, 13 papers consisting of 11 studies met the inclusion criteria.Effectiveness of intervention delivery was assessed using behavioural outcomes. Eight papers delivered interventions using the Web, three implemented text messaging, one used a mobile phone app and the remaining paper used a social networking site.The ability to provide personalized electronic feedback resulted in a reduction in alcohol consumption, frequency of binge drinking, and drinking in a non-risky way. However, intervention length did not appear to have an impact on overall effectiveness.Usage of text messaging and Social Network Sites (SNS) increased accessibility and ease of engaging in an intervention that is appealing and acceptable for young adults.

“…It has been hypothesized that descriptive norms have a direct influence on behavior, whereas injunctive norms have an indirect influence, altering beliefs or cognitions en route to behavior (Cialdini, 2003). Indeed, experiments support that injunctive norms operate through evaluations and attitudes (Cialdini, 2003; Reid & Aiken, 2013). However, to our knowledge, whether descriptive norms also have an indirect effect through evaluations has not been examined.…”

Objective Genomic sequencing is becoming increasingly accessible, highlighting the need to understand the social and psychological factors that drive interest in receiving testing results. These decisions may depend on perceived descriptive norms (how most others behave) and injunctive norms (what is approved of by others). We predicted that descriptive norms would be directly associated with intentions to learn genomic sequencing results, whereas injunctive norms would be associated indirectly, via attitudes. These differential associations with intentions versus attitudes were hypothesized to be strongest when individuals held ambivalent attitudes toward obtaining results. Methods Participants enrolled in a genomic sequencing trial (n=372) reported intentions to learn medically actionable, non-medically actionable, and carrier sequencing results. Descriptive norms items referenced other study participants. Injunctive norms were analyzed separately for close friends and family members. Attitudes, attitudinal ambivalence, and sociodemographic covariates were also assessed. Results In structural equation models, both descriptive norms and friend injunctive norms were associated with intentions to receive all sequencing results (ps<.004). Attitudes consistently mediated all friend injunctive norms-intentions associations, but not the descriptive norms-intentions associations. Attitudinal ambivalence moderated the association between friend injunctive norms (p≤.001), but not descriptive norms (p=.16), and attitudes. Injunctive norms were significantly associated with attitudes when ambivalence was high, but were unrelated when ambivalence was low. Results replicated for family injunctive norms. Conclusions Descriptive and injunctive norms play roles in genomic sequencing decisions. Considering mediators and moderators of these processes enhances ability to optimize use of normative information to support informed decision making.

Correcting injunctive norm misperceptions motivates behavior change: A randomized controlled sun protection intervention.

Abstract: The present research demonstrates the utility of correcting injunctive norm misperceptions for promoting healthy behaviors. That attitudes changed in response to PNF and mediated the norm-intention relationship suggests a method for influencing attitudes that may limit reactance.
