Systematic review and narrative synthesis of behavioral interventions to improve heat-related illness prevention in community and occupational populations
The published literature on behavioral heat-related illness prevention interventions was limited, despite frequent periods of high heat. The published evidence suggested that interventions can improve prevention knowledge and behavior and possibly reduce heat injury. Study designs need substantial improvement by including larger samples and randomized designs with comparison groups to avoid threats to internal and external validity in existing da…
Testing the Long-Term Effects of the Go Sun Smart Worksite Health Communication Campaign
This study examined the long-term effects of the Go Sun Smart (GSS) campaign, a large-scale health communication intervention designed to promote sun safety to employees at 26 ski areas in western North America. Employees were enrolled in a pair-matched group-randomized pretest-posttest controlled design with 2 follow-up surveys. Half of the ski areas were randomly assigned to implement GSS in the winter. This article reports analyses of a hierar…
Accounting for “Racism”
How do people explain their behavior in socially unacceptable political situations? Exploring this question will give us insight into how the public responds to and frames collective decisions regarding controversial topics. We analyze accounts of the outcomes of racially sensitive statewide referenda in two states to understand the public responses to such political predicaments. Distinguishing four broad categories of these accounts—denials, ju…
Black Candidates, White Voters
Theory: Social psychological theories of in-group responses to members of outgroups are used to generate hypotheses about the willingness of white voters to vote for minority candidates. Hypotheses: Eight different hypotheses about the impact on voting decisions of the candidate's race or ethnicity and the candidate's and voter's issue positions. Methods: Analysis of variance of data from an experiment with 656 Anglo adults in which the candidate…
The Public and the Paradox of Leadership
It is commonplace for elected officials to be criticized for failing to exercise strong, independent leadership and also for being unresponsive to the wishes of the public. This study presents an experimental analysis of the sometimes contradictory expectations that citizens have of public officials. The experimental stimuli describe a decision-making situation in which an officeholder must decide whether to act on personal wishes on a controvers…
