Chapter Questions
How threatening do the farmers perceive skin cancer to be, that is, what are their views on the severity/seriousness of skin cancer, their own vulnerability to it, and the rewards associated with their behavior?
Now use the farmers' coping appraisal to explain their skin protective behaviors.
Based on the PMT constructs of threat and coping appraisal, what suggestions did the authors make regarding the focus of interventions to reduce skin cancer prevalence?
In what ways, if any, were your threat and/or coping appraisal responses the same as those of the farmers? Do you think the suggested intervention foci would be effective?
