- Cancer-related affect and cognition, such as cancer fear, cancer worry, and cancer risk perception, are important predictors of cancer prevention and communication behaviors. However, they have not been clearly conceptualized in cancer communication literature, and in particular, the role of affect (i.e., cancer fear) in cancer prevention and communication has not been fully investigated. The present study developed a 3-factor cancer-related mental condition model encompassing affective (cancer fear), cognitive (cancer risk perception), and affective-cognitive (cancer worry) conditions. Two studies were conducted. Study 1 developed the model with Sample 1 (U.S. undergraduates, N = 309), and subsequently validated the model with Sample 2 (Korean general population, ages 40 years or older, N = 1,130). Study 2, using Sample 2, tested the model's relationship with cancer information use, cancer information avoidance, and screening intention. While Sample 1 participants were asked about cancer in general, Sample 2 participants were asked specifically about stomach cancer. Thus, the model derived from the specific sample in a general context was confirmed via the general sample in a specific context. The results showed that both cancer worry and cancer risk perception are positively associated with cancer information use and screening intention, but they are negatively associated with cancer information avoidance. Cancer fear was positively associated with cancer information use, but it was also positively related to cancer information avoidance. Moreover, cancer fear was negatively associated with screening intention. Although the three components of the model are positively related to one another, they function differently in the cancer context.
