Agency Information Collection Activities: Administrative Rulings, 1959-1960 [2016-00621]

Download as PDF 1959 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 9 / Thursday, January 14, 2016 / Notices Comment Due Date: Comments regarding this information collection are best assured of having their full effect if received within 60 days of the date of this publication. Proposed Collection: Self-affirmation Construct Validity, 0925–NEW, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH). Need and Use of Information Collection: This information collection, seeks to refine a theory about how selfcompetence and values play a role in defensive responses to health communications. Although theoretically-driven research has shown that self-affirmation—a process by which individuals reflect on values that are important to them—can improve responses to health and cancer communications, the ‘‘active ingredient’’ (or mechanisms underlying effectiveness) of self-affirmations is unknown. Self-affirmation is a potent means of augmenting the effectiveness of threatening health communications. Individuals tend to be defensive against information suggesting their behavior puts them at risk for disease or negative health. Previous evidence suggests that self-affirmation may reduce defensiveness to threatening health information, increasing openness to the message and resulting in increased disease risk perceptions, disease-related worry, intentions to engage in preventive behavior, and actual behavioral change. Understanding the mechanisms that explain these robust effects would yield evidence important for dissemination, including ways to refine self-affirmation interventions and make them more potent, which could change the ways that public health messages are constructed. This research can inform NCI scientific priorities and investments in self-affirmation research. The results of the information collection will be used to further develop and improve self-affirmation theory. These findings may allow future researchers to develop and test cancer prevention interventions. OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 717. ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Number of respondents Form name Types of respondents Screener ............................................
