Effect of mothers‘ health literacy on early childhood allergy prevention behaviours
We found an effect of mothers' HL on ECAP behaviours: lower HL of mothers increased allergen-avoiding behaviour directed at their child, while decreasing the chance of exclusive breastfeeding. Improving HL could contribute to the implementation of recommended ECAP behaviours in families, especially to the reduction of allergen-avoiding behaviours
Self-report of chronic diseases in old-aged individuals
BACKGROUND: To estimate prevalence and incidence of diseases through self-reports in observational studies, it is important to understand the accuracy of participant reports. We aimed to quantify the agreement of self-reported and general practitioner-reported diseases in an old-aged population and to identify socio-demographic determinants of agreement. METHODS: This analysis was conducted as part of the AugUR study (n=2449), a prospective popul…
Determinants of maternal health four weeks after delivery
We identified important protective factors for maternal health four weeks after delivery, such as a high level of social support. However, parental stress and social and emotional strains in particular seem to have a negative influence on maternal health. These findings have public health relevance
Exploratory Research Focusing on Oral Cancer Prevention
Oral cancer is a considerable public health problem, and a low level of awareness and knowledge about this tumor and its risk factors is prevalent. To gain a profound understanding of risks groups and to identify suitable communication strategies for a prevention campaign in Northern Germany, an exploratory research was realized. In semistructured face-to-face interviews, the participants of the study ( n = 28) described their individual oral can…

Non‐ideal fit to a performance demand and the emergence of performance‐related person categories
Three studies were conducted in order to investigate antecedents of individuals' preoccupation with person descriptors, such as personality traits, physical‐ethnic characteristics, or external characteristics, In Studies 1 and 2 subjects had to rate, for a given list of traits, how important each of the traits was as a prerequisite for performance within an academic context. Subjects who were relatively inexperienced in writing term papers (Study…
Rebutting accusations
Three studies address the question of how observers react to rebuttal statements and which variables are crucial in determining observers' evaluations of the initiator of the rebuttal. The first study showed that devaluation of the initiator of the rebuttal was higher when observers were confronted with the isolated rebuttal than when observers first learned about an existing accusation and then about the corresponding rebuttal. The second study …
Rumor rebuttal in the marketplace
Psychological antecedents of consistency in applying traits
The low robustness of the gain effect of interpersonal attraction
Subjects were exposed either to positive–positive evaluations or to negative‐positive evaluations. In addition, evaluator's credibility was manipulated (high, low, neutral). Liking for the evaluator, perceived correctness, and perceived contingency of the evaluations were assessed as dependent variables. The gain effect suggested by Aronson and Linder (1965) was not found in any of the three dependent measures. Implications of these findings are …
